Yuri Trutnev took part in a field training seminar as part of the third All-Russian Long-Range Shooting Tournament.

In Yakutsk, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev participated in a field training seminar as part of the third All-Russian Long-Range Shooting Tournament, dedicated to the memory of legendary World War II sniper and Hero of the Soviet Union Fyodor Matveyevich Okhlopkov. He also held a meeting on the progress of restoring social and engineering infrastructure in the territories under his wing, and met with the winning team of the first All-Russian Military Tactical Competition "Warrior's Path."

The heads of the Far Eastern regions participated in the military field seminar. The event took place at the Sulus Training and Shooting Center, one of the best firing ranges in the country in terms of technical specifications. By the end of this year, three more regions of the Far Eastern Federal District will have modern military training ranges.

The heads of the Far Eastern regions received a brief theoretical course and were shown Russian-made high-precision firearms. The first qualifying distance was 600 meters, with subsequent shooting distances proposed by the qualified participants.

"Overall, the leadership team of the Far Eastern Federal District has proven itself worthy. Not only as people who help the boys serve and supply them with equipment and weapons, who participate in the restoration of liberated territories, but also as people who, if necessary, are capable of taking up arms. And not just taking them up, but holding them with confidence," emphasized Yuri Trutnev.

When presenting the cups to the winners, Yuri Trutnev noted their special value. "Thank you all very much. And I want to draw your attention to the fact that cups are often awarded at competitions, but this cup is special because it bears the signatures of three Heroes of the Russian Federation. I think you can proudly display it at home or at work," Yuri Trutnev concluded the seminar.

At a meeting on the progress of work to restore social and engineering infrastructure in the sponsored territories, preliminary results of this year's plan were summarized.

In accordance with a decree of the President of Russia, since June 2022, Far Eastern Federal District subjects have been working to restore social infrastructure in the territories of the Donetsk People's Republic liberated from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During this period (June 2022 – September 2025), Far Easterners have restored over 1,000 facilities (1,022) – schools, hospitals, kindergartens, playgrounds and sports grounds, roads, and water pipelines. They have purchased 117 units of automotive and specialized equipment. Health and wellness vacations have been organized for 11,022 children.

Currently, the Far Eastern regions are responsible for the restoration of 26 settlements in six municipalities of the DPR.

This year, work was carried out on 178 sites in the territories under its protection, 159 of which have already been completed. In 2025, three hospitals, 13 schools, five kindergartens, seven playgrounds and sports fields, 94,500 square meters of roads, and 4.1 kilometers of water pipelines have already been restored. Another 19 sites remain to be restored.

Yuri Trutnev also met with the winning team of the first All-Russian military tactical competition, "The Path of the Warrior." The meeting took place at School No. 40, where a branch of the Voin Center is located. The competition was organized by the Voin Center with the support of the government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and the Russian Combat Sniping Federation, at the request of Yuri Trutnev, with the aim of improving the training system and reinforcing the knowledge acquired by the Voin Center's cadets in practice.

"Congratulations to the Yakutia team on winning the first All-Russian 'Warrior's Path' competition! We were following you and rooting for you. I received videos of the competition, which I watched. We didn't just create this competition as a game; we wanted to help you prepare for adult life and the defense of our homeland. What was our core concept? We wanted you to think, not just run around laser tag paths, to develop tactical combinations, and learn to win. Of course, you have much to learn. We're learning too. We just returned from the training ground. Today, the governors took to the firing line and, together with the fighters who participated in the tournament yesterday, practiced with sniper weapons at long ranges and achieved excellent results. We will continue to work together, develop, and make our Russia stronger," said Yuri Trutnev.

The competition finals were held from September 15 to 20 in Yakutsk. Four teams from the Voin Center branches that had demonstrated the best results in the qualifying round in Volgograd participated: "Botur" (Yakutia), "Sobol" (Tyumen Oblast), "Amur Warriors" (Khabarovsk Krai), and "Stalingrad" (Volgograd Oblast). The team from the Voin Center branch in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) took first place, the team from the Tyumen branch took second place, and the teams from Volgograd Oblast and Khabarovsk Krai took third place.
