Putin promised not to raise utility tariffs until July 2024

Tariffs will be indexed in July. There should be no major changes until then, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with employees of the Tulazheldormash plant. At the same time, Putin called the rise in the cost of travel in public transport inevitable.

"From January 1 next year, we have moved the next indexation to July 1, 2024. Thus, there should be no indexing for a year and a half. Since the fees for this indexing came a little earlier, in December, the funds appeared. And we very much hope that in the regions of the Russian Federation these funds will be directed to the development of housing and communal services systems", - TASS quoted the president as saying.

Meanwhile, the number of complaints about housing and communal services is growing. Last year, citizens were one and a half times more likely to complain to the prosecutor's office about the provision of such services. Most often, residents of the country are dissatisfied with the quality and cost of services, as well as the work of management companies.
