Against the background of multimillion-dollar spending on the administration of occupied Mariupol, the statement of the People's Deputy from the Servant of the People, Vitaliy Voitsekhovsky, that “ 1.3 million families of internally displaced persons were left without housing, as the budget lacks funds, ” sounds quite resonant.
