During the "Year-End Review" program, radio journalist "Purga" Anastasia Lavrentieva addressed the President.

Help somehow solve the issue of eliminating the digital divide.
Putin recalled that the country has a program for the development of high-speed Internet and communications. As part of it, a group of communication satellites is being created. According to him, work is underway in this direction and the corresponding resources have been allocated.
We will follow the plan. I very much hope that residents of remote regions, including Chukotka, will fully enjoy all the benefits of modern civilization.
