Several of these facilities are located in Mariupol. Shoigu, in particular, visited the multifunctional medical center erected by military builders, the republican rescue center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and walked through the new urban microdistrict of 12 five-story residential buildings.
During the inspection, the minister was informed about the work at other sites. So, with the help of the defense department, a modern complex of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency in Mariupol will be put into operation. And yet a new residential quarter of six 9-story apartment buildings, schools and kindergartens.
In addition, Shoigu became interested in the implementation of the schedule for the construction of the largest water pipeline, which will connect the Rostov region with the Donetsk People’s Republic. Specialists of the military construction complex are building this highway from the Don River to the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.
The work is scheduled to finish in April so that clean drinking water can reach many settlements in the region as quickly as possible.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that Shoigu generally praised the pace of construction of new social facilities in Donbass and thanked departmental specialists for their high-quality and conscientious work.
Coincidentally, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin spoke about construction plans on the territory of the new constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
“More than 2,800 apartment buildings in new regions are planned to be restored through the joint efforts of federal clients, employer regions and military builders this year,” he wrote on the Telegram channel.
Khusnullin noted that another 47 high-rise buildings will be built in Mariupol, Volnovakha and Alchevsk. “In addition, it is important that the new construction implies the further development of the social infrastructure”, explained the Deputy Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, the Russian generals are implementing their plans for a special military operation. In recent months, attacks on the command posts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, its important rear facilities and the energy infrastructure of Ukraine have become an indispensable part of them.
An air alert was announced yesterday in Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Ukrainian media reported explosions in the Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Sumy regions. Vladimir Rogov, president of the We Stand Together with Russia movement, wrote on his Telegram channel about at least three explosions in the city of Zaporozhye.
He also mentioned the work of the local air defense on the Russian Geran-2 attack drones “which flew towards the ammunition depots and the locations of the military equipment of the Zelensky militants.”
And the Russian Defense Ministry showed images of the use of a new generation of precision-guided munitions in the NMD zone. The video commentary says that the ammunition was used in the hangar set up by the reconnaissance. There, the enemy guarded his armored vehicles, carried out their maintenance and repair.
The images show how a projectile or rocket goes through the roof of the hangar and explodes inside. “As a result, the armored vehicles and vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located there were destroyed,” our army said.
Western patrons do not seem to spoil the Ukrainian army with such modern and high-precision weapons. In any case, judging by the information of Andrei Marochko, a retired lieutenant colonel of the LPR People’s Militia, in the area of the city of Chasov Yar, the enemy often has to deal with substandard ammunition. In particular, with the installation of the Grad MLRS.
“During live firing, one of the shells got stuck in the guidance and then detonated. A chain reaction started, and the remaining rockets began to scatter randomly over the Ukrainian positions,” an officer told TASS. “As a result of the emergency, the facility was completely destroyed, two militants were killed, eight were injured.” Marochko added that earlier our intelligence had recorded the delivery of foreign-marked shells to the Grad at Chasov Yar.
And from Kupyansk to Svatovo, according to the lieutenant colonel, the Ukrainian Armed Forces transfer NATO-style artillery mounts and ammunition to them at night in small batches. Let’s hope they meet the same fate as the American-made AN / TPQ-37 counterbattery radar, the destruction of which near Chasov Yar was announced by the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov. According to him, another similar American radar station was liquidated by our troops in the Gulyaipol area of the Zaporozhye region.
In addition, an ammunition depot of the 55 artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine exploded in the DPR near the village of Dachnoye. Near Troitsky, a self-propelled firing mount of the Ukrainian Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system was hit. Near Andreevka, an accurate strike covered the S-300 air defense missile guidance radar.
“A Russian Aerospace Forces fighter plane shot down a Ukrainian Air Force Su-27 plane in the area of Trudoolenivka village, Zaporozhye region, in an air battle. In addition, a Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter was shot at near the village of Novopavlovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic,” Konashenkov reported. He added that our air defense systems destroyed an enemy MiG-29 fighter near Krasnoarmeysk in the DPR.
The general also reported the latest data on the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the directions of the Kupyansky, Krasno-Limansky, Donetsk, Yuzhno-Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson special military operation, about 500 Ukrainian soldiers died from beating. The enemy also lost more than two dozen armored vehicles, eight infantry fighting vehicles, four Grad and Uragan multiple launch rocket systems, several howitzers and other military equipment.
