Yakovenko spoke about the problems of the housing stock in Russia / Collage 24 Channel Russia has a fairly old housing stock that is constantly collapsing. The vast majority of money goes to war or into the pockets of officials. Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko told Channel 24 about this, noting that only officially about 40% of the Russian budget goes to the war against Ukraine. But in fact, they spend even more money on military operations. As Yakovenko noted, it is therefore not surprising that in Russia there is regularly news that a house has collapsed. As this recently happened in Astrakhan. It calmly collapses on its own. This can be considered a symbol of true Russia. When Russia will fall the same way. There are many people living there without toilets in their apartments. They have cesspools. The whole country is in a musty state. – said Yakovenko.
