On the brink of emergency: Arkhangelsk seeks Moscow bailout to avoid winter crisis
Arkhangelsk lawmakers are appealing to Moscow for emergency funds after a shortfall of roughly one‑third of the subsidy needed by heating utilities—only 5.63 bn roubles have been allocated. The gap is preventing delivery of 21 000 tonnes of coal and 12 000 tonnes of diesel, putting remote High North settlements at risk of losing heat this winter.
