| The situation with northern deliveries in the country, Mikhail Kasyanov said yesterday, “is not yet at the level for us to be satisfied.” The somewhat ambiguous definition of the level of satisfaction of the government is most likely a consequence of the ambiguous situation that has arisen around the problem of delivering fuel and food to hard-to-reach areas of the country. For a month in a row, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade (MEDT), which since May has been performing the functions of the former State Committee for the North, has been reporting that the financing schedule for northern deliveries has been exceeded, and reports from the field are becoming more and more alarming. The government will be able to finally figure out what is happening with the northern delivery on Thursday: the Prime Minister instructed the head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, German Gref, to “seriously prepare materials for the meeting on the state of fuel delivery.” "TIME FOR NEWS" |
