"To date, more than 150 units of equipment have been prepared only for intra-quarter roads, 238 for road and highway cleaning. There is a sufficient amount of sand-salt mixture. We are ready for any element and are now working on preemption. I see no reason for concern and I am confident that we will cope with the snow, "- said Andrei Rudenko.
