«Internally displaced persons are a very sensitive topic. The war forced many to move. On the territory of the district, the figure ranges from 33 to 36 thousand IDPs. A total of 906 million was calculated and paid out for housing assistance for displaced persons. This is a very large number. And in general, since the beginning of the invasion, it is one billion 355 thousand. The state always takes care of its citizens.
