It seems surprising that Russians would want to buy property in the occupation zone, with the war still ongoing. If Ukraine wins, no doubt their property rights will be declared null and they will be sent packing. Why take the risk? My only guess is that they must be so heavily propagandised as to not seriously contemplate the possibility of loss.
Don’t undderestimate how fucked the housing market is. :)
They basically have no clue what’s happening as state media represents it as some sort of utopia with most modern buildings being newly rebuilt.
I reckon that after the war most buildings will be newly built.
They’re told it’s Russian territory. They really don’t know that it’s only a temporary occupation.
