RIA: Deputy PM-Russia Will Rebuild 'Freed' Areas Of Ukraine

RUSSIA

Headline hit wires a short time ago stating that Russian Deputy PM Marat Khusnullin had said that Russia will "restore all 'freed' territories in Ukraine, this decision has been made".

  • Some speculation as to meaning behind this comment. Likely to refer to rebuilding and investing in the regions, rather than restoring Russian control in regions re-taken by Ukrainian forces in recent weeks.
  • Independent Russian outlet Meduza tweets: "During a visit to occupied Kherson [seeming to have taken place on 17 May], Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said the region has “great prospects” and “will take its rightful place in the Russian family."
  • Nataliya Vasilyeva at The Telegraph tweets: "Russia's highest-ranking official to visit occupied territories in Ukraine, is in Kherson, saying Russia will help to 'relaunch' the region's economy."
