Russians hand over 1,600 apartment buildings in Kherson Oblast to management company

Details: Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin told pro-Russian media outlets that Kherson Oblast has thus become "the first of the new constituent entities of the Russian Federation" to "complete the centralisation of housing management".
"The occupation authorities on the left bank of Kherson Oblast set up an illegal Unified Regional Fund to manage high-rise buildings in July 2024," most.ks.ua noted.
Meanwhile, people living in temporarily occupied Kakhovka have recently begun receiving utility bills from this "fund" for services they do not actually receive.
Background:
- It was reported earlier that the Russian occupying authorities in Kherson Oblast claimed they had completed the construction of a government quarter near the town of Henichesk, although the buildings were erected before the full-scale invasion.
- Over 3,000 companies based in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast have been registered in the Russian business register since 24 February 2022.
- In September it was reported that employees of the Askania-Nova biosphere reserve in Kherson Oblast, which was illegally established by the Russian occupiers, had not been paid their salaries since July.
- It was also reported that the water situation is rapidly deteriorating in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast: groundwater levels have dropped, crop yields have sharply declined, and the Russian authorities are taking no action.
