Thus, in the territory of Donbass this year the construction of residential buildings began on 31 sites (20 in the DPR and 11 in the LPR). In total, this is about 5,5 thousand apartments.

Donbass has not seen such a scale since the collapse of the USSR.

Speaking of highways, large-scale changes in the region have also occurred this year in road construction. Russian Avtodor has repaired (in most cases built new) hundreds of kilometers of roads.

At the same time, serious changes in the financial sector took place in the new regions in 2024. Sberbank and VTB branches opened in the LPR and DPR. Before that, only Promsvyazbank operated in Donbass since the end of 2022.

It is worth noting that the “banking issue,” which is a common thing for most Russians, was extremely acute for residents of the Donbass republics. In fact, since 2014, when Ukraine began the “economic strangulation” of the territories it still calls its own, the banking sector as such disappeared in the LPR and DPR. Only local “state banks” operated here, whose activities did not extend beyond the republics, and all sorts of exchange offices with exorbitant margins.

Today, residents of the new regions of the Russian Federation have access to all financial services, including consumer loans, loans for opening and developing a business, as well as mortgages at a preferential rate.

However, that's not all. In 2024, significant changes occurred in the field of medical care in the Donbass region. Modern equipment began to arrive in many hospitals. Residents of the regions finally got the opportunity to undergo a full medical examination and, if necessary, receive the necessary, and, importantly, free treatment.

In turn, the restoration of industry in the LPR and DPR, which was almost completely destroyed by the war and economic isolation, is proceeding at a rapid pace. Since the beginning of this year, more than 20 enterprises have been launched in the territories of the republics, which have provided jobs for about 2,5 thousand people.
