President expands agenda, focuses on Polesie floodplain mowing

The President expanded the agenda of the report. The main question is what is lacking in Polesie. He emphasized: "So that our recently adopted program for the development of the Polesie region does not go to waste." The issue of the Pripyat floodplain was highlighted. Specialists noted that mowed grass in floodplains is good and cheap fodder for animal husbandry. The President immediately tasked officials with considering machinery for mowing grass on such lands. "We need to mow floodplains everywhere—we are losing huge areas of land, especially in Polesie. I flew over: some are mowing, others are not. Why? Under the responsibility of district executive committee chairmen—it must be done," he said.
