Ice cream Crimea-Bruck

The funded pension contributions of Russians for 2014, which in September 2013 were decided to freeze on the initiative of officials of the social bloc of the government, is supposed to be spent on the support of Crimea and Sevastopol. This is written by "Vedomosti" with reference to a senior official of the Ministry of Finance.

As Bloomberg previously reported, the costs of the state budget for an annexed Ukrainian region can amount to 260 billion rubles. According to the interlocutor of Vedomosti, the calculations have not yet been prepared, but the Ministry of Finance seeks to meet the amount of 243 billion - this is how much the state will receive by freezing pension contributions.

Another official of the ministry explained that these funds were reserved in case of need for emergency anti -crisis measures, but Vladimir Putin allowed them to send them to the Crimea. The official did not rule out that 243 billion rubles would not be enough. “Then you will have to increase the budget expenditures,” he remarked.

According to an employee of the Ministry of Finance, when assessing the costs of Crimea, the costs of developing its infrastructure, in particular road and energy networks, as well as the housing and communal complex, are not taken into account. Meanwhile, the official of the White House apparatus noted that the total costs of the occupied region will be very large, so the government will be forced to reduce other expenses.

Previously, the volumes of assistance that Crimea will receive from the state budget were estimated only at 91 billion rubles. 55 billion, according to the Ministry of Finance, was supposed to be spent on budget balance, and the remaining 36 billion on the payment of pensions.

According to one of the interlocutors of the publication, by April 5, the departments will be developed by roadmaps, according to which Crimea must go to Russian laws and standards, and by April 15, the Ministry of Finance should calculate the price that it will cost.
