Putin approves master plan to redevelop Ukraine's war-torn city of Mariupol
Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved a master plan for the development of the city of Mariupol in Ukraine, a month after ordering the construction of social amenities in the city.
What happened: On Friday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented Putin with a 100-page master plan for the restoration and development of Mariupol, according to the agency of public press TASS.
Khusnullin told the media that it would take three years to restore the city under this plan, which includes the construction and repair of buildings and social infrastructure.

"I can say that this year we will restore 90% of social infrastructure - kindergartens, schools, hospitals." He said.
The publication pointed out that Khusnullin drew particular attention to the issue of metallurgical plants of Azovstal, one of the largest steel rolling enterprises in Ukraine.
According to him, the plan is to preserve some jobs but not to restart dangerous production lines.
"But there are some 40 million tons of waste there. It's an ecological problem. The territory must be cleaned up," he said, adding that the Ukrainian authorities had done nothing to resolve this problem.
This came after Russian authorities, in late June, began construction of social facilities in Mariupol.
