"We will also discuss the distribution of subsidies from the federal budget. A total of 3.2 billion roubles ($130.19 million, or €88.32 million) are allocated to the Kamchatka and Maritime territories, and the Arkhangelsk and Murmansk regions to make up for higher prices on fuel oil. This is one of the measures which should help these regions to get through the cold season without any accidents, not to mention emergencies."
