Recently, Lutsk Mayor Anton Kryvytskyi met with all operators of the analog telephone communication market, which has already become traditional for Lutsk. During the meeting, the issue of providing free landline telephone communication to disabled persons of the Great Patriotic War, combat participants, and war participants was discussed. This issue has been under the mayor's personal control since the beginning of 2004. Anton Kryvytskyi insists on resolving the problem of providing telephone communication to the mentioned beneficiaries by the 60th anniversary of Victory. According to the communications workers, as of today all war disabled persons who needed telephone installation have communication. Admittedly, with the exception of 5 disabled persons who were registered this year. As for war participants, out of 360 persons, 303 were provided with telephones last year, and they will also have telephones by the first of May. By the same date, they plan to install landline telephones for 18 combat participants. Another 15 people from this category remain without communication. The "Ukrtelecom" directorate explains its delay by the lack of technical capabilities to complete what has been started. In this case, a telephone line needs to be laid for more than 350 meters. The mayor categorically disagrees with this. He reminded the communications workers that the city does not owe "Ukrtelecom" a single kopeck for the telephone installation of these beneficiaries. In addition, at the expense of the reserve fund, the mayor is ready to finance the laying of a telephone line of up to 700 meters. In cases where this is also insufficient, he proposes to issue mobile phones to the remaining beneficiaries. The mayor promises to finance cell phones and a monthly limit of 50 hryvnias from the city budget.
