1. On the execution of the federal budget for the first nine months of 2025, November 26, 2025. And also on support for the northern regions. The President has identified the development of the Arctic as one of our strategic priorities. It is important to improve the quality of life for citizens there, create comfortable conditions for work and study, and ensure access to high-quality and reliable communications.
To address this challenge, approximately 7,000 kilometers of fiber optic lines will be built in Yakutia. They will connect hard-to-reach and remote areas of the Arctic zone. High-speed internet will be available in 61 settlements in the republic, home to a total of approximately 50,000 people. Currently, only expensive satellite communications are available, with no backup channels. This leads to constant problems and service outages.
The government will allocate nearly 5.5 billion rubles from the federal budget to implement this large-scale project. And, according to our agreement, the region itself will contribute the same amount. All plans must be implemented within the next three years.
Maksut Igorevich (addressing M. Shadaev), please monitor this closely.
The new infrastructure will allow homes and public facilities to connect to networks with data transfer speeds of at least 100 Mbps, compared to the current 10 Mbps. This will lead to lower tariffs.
Citizens and businesses will be able to more actively use modern digital capabilities and electronic services. The adoption of technology across economic sectors will accelerate.
In addition, optical access is more resistant to external influences and is not affected by weather conditions, which is of great importance in the harsh conditions of the North.
