The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has published a report alleging that Georgian authorities used chemical weapons during the suppression of pro-European protests in Tbilisi in 2024. The chemical weapon in question is bromobenzyl cyanide, a chemical warfare agent dating back to World War I, also known as "kamit."
According to the Ministry of Construction and DOM.RF, Ingushetia leads all Russian regions in terms of per capita housing provision. At the end of 2024, this figure in the republic was 15.9 square meters, significantly lower than the Russian average (29.4 square meters).
Regions with low figures include Tuva, the Khanty-Mansi and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, and Moscow.
Despite Ingushetia being the region with the lowest per capita housing provision, experts urge caution in interpreting these figures. Kirill Yankov, head of the Regional Economic Forecasting Laboratory at the Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, emphasizes that the statistics may not take into account regional specificities, particularly the presence of unregistered housing, which, according to him, is widespread in Ingushetia and Tuva.
