“At 18:00, 1,092 people received payments of 10,000,” the statement said.
Alekseenko also said that the vaccination of people in temporary accommodation centers is being completed. A total of 1,391 people have been vaccinated against dangerous infections. In addition, more than 2 thousand animals were vaccinated, more than 300 carcasses of dead animals were collected and disposed of.
