The Federation Council called the situation with the replacement of elevators in the regions acute.
The largest number of devices to be replaced is planned for 2027.
"The plans include more than 25,000 elevators, that's 40% more than in 2026," said the head of the Regional Policy Committee Andrei Shevchenko at a round table in the upper house of the parliament.
According to him, 632 thousand elevators are installed in apartment buildings. According to last year's inventory results, nearly 108,000 devices needed replacement. Now more than 79.5 thousand elevators remain to be replaced until 2030, Shevchenko noted.
