Thank you very much for not leaving when you had the chance to get away from all this. You help our citizens, so the state should do everything possible for you,” the Head of Republic stressed when handing the keys to an apartment over to the young family.

Ekaterina and Roman thanked the Head of Republic for the comprehensive support to young specialists and, in particular, to their family.

We understand that you have given years to learn this profession, and now you are saving lives. The state should definitely pay attention to that. Happy holiday again!” Denis Pushilin said.
