Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon, the chairperson of the Heart of Moldova party Irina Vlah and the head of the Future of Moldova party Vasile Tarlev. They discussed cooperation between the two countries in the agro-industrial complex.

"The Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova have centuries-old relations that have survived a number of historical eras. Our bilateral ties have been strengthened thanks to a common culture. This applies to similar moral and ethical values, and belonging to the Orthodox world. Today, the relations between our countries are going through a difficult period. However, despite this, we have managed to build direct channels of interaction. Russia aims to maintain and develop dialogue with all constructive forces in Moldova that advocate for strengthening Moldovan statehood, the country's sovereignty and preserving its neutral status. Russia is ready for dialogue, including the resumption of work through the intergovernmental commission," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that last year in the agro-industrial complex, which is traditionally one of the key areas of cooperation between the two countries, the volume of mutual trade fell by another 20%. And deliveries to Russia also decreased by almost a third.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that Russia is ready to develop mutual cooperation, including in terms of trade in agricultural products and supplies of mineral fertilizers.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting of the Government Commission on Agro-Industrial, Fishing Complexes and Sustainable Development of Rural Territories. The meeting was attended by the management of relevant departments and companies. The main topic was measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of agricultural production.

Dmitry Patrushev noted that in the first months of this year, agricultural production grew by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2024. To support the agro-industrial and fisheries complexes, as well as the development of rural areas, the Government has already allocated more than 560 billion rubles in 2025.

"Right now, one of the most important stages of the year for the industry is the harvesting campaign. Work has started in 22 regions. The Russian Ministry of Agriculture maintains its forecast expectations for the main crops, including plans to harvest about 135 million tons of grain," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the development of agricultural production relies largely on the rational use of land resources. For this purpose, the relevant mechanisms are systematically improved.

"A separate state program of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia is aimed at involving agricultural lands into circulation and increasing their fertility. Thanks to its activities, more than 2 million hectares have been brought into use in three years. Together with the Federal Assembly, we are developing the regulatory framework. Since 2022, six federal laws have been adopted for this purpose. This year, the so-called law on two keys was approved, which assumes that the opinion of the Ministry of Agriculture is taken into account when making decisions on transferring agricultural lands to other categories. The inclusion of agricultural lands in the boundaries of populated areas must also be agreed upon with the Ministry of Agriculture. Thus, the most valuable lands will be protected from unjustified disposal," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The law will come into force in March 2026. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to promptly complete the preparation of legal acts for its implementation.

In crop production, an important tool for increasing efficiency is the use of modern agricultural machinery. The meeting discussed the implementation of the preferential leasing program. Dmitry Patrushev noted that this is one of the most popular support measures, allowing the fleet to be updated.

In 2024, Rosagroleasing delivered almost 19 thousand units of agricultural machinery and equipment to farmers – this is a record since the launch of the instrument in 2019. This year, the volume of subsidies for preferential leasing has increased by more than 40%.

In the regions of the country, the modernization of public utility infrastructure continues under programs involving preferential loans from the National Welfare Fund and subsidies from the federal budget. The Ministry of Construction is the curator of these programs, and the Territorial Development Fund is the operator.

"In total, 2,225 housing and communal services facilities have been commissioned in the regions under these programs since 2022. This is 3.4 thousand km of utility networks and 273 area facilities – treatment facilities, boiler houses, central heating stations, etc. This year, the federal project "Modernization of Utilities Infrastructure" was launched as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". It is important for the regions to increase the pace of implementation of all planned measures to modernize the housing and communal services. According to the President's instructions, 4.5 billion rubles are planned to be allocated for these purposes by 2030. And here the task is to increase extra-budgetary financing – this is clearly stated in the memorandums signed by the regions with the Ministry of Construction. All these measures are aimed at solving existing problems in the industry and providing Russians with high-quality utilities," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

According to the FRT programs, the largest number of works were carried out in the heat supply sector – 1.4 thousand km of heat networks and 230 area facilities were commissioned. In second place are works on modernization of the water supply sector. In total, 1.7 thousand km of water supply networks were updated in the regions and 15 area facilities were commissioned. In addition, work was carried out to modernize 351 km of water drainage networks and 28 facilities in this sector.

"In the first half of 2025, 10 industrial facilities were commissioned in the regions. For example, treatment facilities were commissioned in the Sverdlovsk Region, four boiler houses were built in the Perm Region, and one each in Yakutia and the Kamchatka Region. Heat supply sources were also reconstructed in the Nizhny Novgorod and Volgograd Regions. In addition, 38.5 km of utility networks were updated. As a result, the quality of services has improved for thousands of Russians. Work on housing and communal services facilities continues," said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

“Russia continues to demonstrate growth in popularity among foreign tourists, which is due to the creation of tourism infrastructure and the introduction of simplified entry mechanisms,” said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, commenting on the bill adopted by the State Duma, expanding the possibilities of a single electronic visa for entry into Russia.

According to the document, the visa validity period has been increased from 60 to 120 days from the date of issue, and the permitted period of stay for foreign citizens in the country has increased from 16 to 30 days.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that extending the validity of the electronic visa and increasing the permitted period of stay in Russia is an important step towards foreign tourists.

"Our country is becoming increasingly popular with guests from abroad. Last year, the country was visited by more than 5 million foreign tourists, which is 30% more than the previous year. We see that foreign guests are increasingly using simplified entry mechanisms – applying for electronic visas. Over the first five months of 2025, more than 230 thousand foreign tourists entered the country using it, and in total, 940 thousand people used it during the period of operation of the mechanism. The new measures will make Russia even more accessible to international travelers and strengthen the country's position in the global tourism market," Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.

Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development, added: "The Ministry of Economic Development is systematically working to increase the attractiveness of Russia for foreign tourists. An electronic visa is one of the important mechanisms for simplified entry for tourists. The next step, which is currently being considered, is the possibility of its multiple use."

Let us recall that the platform for issuing unified electronic visas was launched on August 1, 2023 for citizens of 64 countries.

The International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk” is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation.

The opening ceremony of the XXXIV International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" took place in Vitebsk. It is a large-scale cultural project that promotes humanitarian cooperation, as well as the revival and development of artistic culture and art.

At the opening ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk read out the welcoming words of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the festival participants and guests: “Dear friends! I cordially welcome you on the occasion of the opening of the next, XXXIV International Arts Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk”.

The festival, held in the ancient and beautiful Belarusian city, makes a significant contribution to strengthening spiritual ties between the fraternal Slavic peoples, to the development of mutually beneficial humanitarian cooperation. Its motto – "Through art to peace and mutual understanding" – sounds especially relevant in the current difficult international conditions.

This year the program of the "Slavianski Bazaar" is very rich and diverse. Several festival venues will host performances by famous singers and artists, musical, folklore and pop groups, numerous theatrical productions, exhibitions and presentations. Much attention is paid to the children's audience: various creative competitions for young performers are planned.

A special place in the program is occupied by events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War – the most important event in our common history. I am sure that the great power of art will help preserve the grateful memory of the glorious deeds of our fathers and grandfathers who fought shoulder to shoulder against the fascist invaders, and pass on to the younger generations the good traditions of fraternal friendship and mutual assistance bequeathed by them.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who took part in organizing the festival, wish its participants inspiration and success, and the guests – bright, unforgettable impressions.”

The International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar" has been held since 1992. This year, artists from more than 40 countries are taking part in it; the festival events are taking place in Vitebsk from July 8 to 14.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova spoke at a joint meeting of the State Duma committees in preparation for holding a government hour on the topic "On priorities in implementing the demographic policy of the Russian Federation." The meeting was also attended by Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova, representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities.

"Our absolute priority is to preserve the population. This is the main national goal, designated by the President of the country. And this is a national goal for many years. Because within this goal, the birth rate is, of course, the most difficult issue. And the birth rate is not a momentary decision. It is a person's motivation to start a family. And this is our hard and painstaking work. And I will start with the basics of state policy to support traditional spiritual and moral values. This is, in fact, the key issue. Fostering in society an attitude towards family, towards a child, towards parents, towards grandparents. Towards a multi-generational, dynastic family. And pride in the fact that this family exists," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that today, on average, a woman gives birth to her first child at the age of 26, and the average age of a woman at the birth of a child is 29.

"As our President says, the entire infrastructure should be built around the family. And this means that all our priorities, our national projects should work towards this idea," noted Tatyana Golikova. "What we are seeing today is a great commitment to urbanization. And this commitment to urbanization leads to the fact that individual settlements are left without people. We must create the appropriate infrastructure around. This settlement must live, so that it is interesting to live in it."

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 80.4% of births today occur in cities. At the same time, by the end of 2024, the total fertility rate in Russia as a whole was 1.4, and in the village – 1.6.

In addition, on the eve of the government hour, Tatyana Golikova met with all factions of the State Duma – United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, A Just Russia and New People. The meetings were also attended by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, the Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko, the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov, representatives of the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities and the Ministry of Culture.

This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Bridges, overpasses, and flyovers allow you to overcome difficult sections, reduce travel time, and reduce the load on alternative routes. They ensure uninterrupted traffic flow, connect territories, and improve road safety. The construction and timely repair of artificial structures are important for the sustainability and efficiency of the country's road framework. Thanks to the national project "Infrastructure for Life", in 2025, more than 500 bridges and overpasses with a length of 42.2 thousand linear meters will be built, reconstructed, repaired, including major repairs," said Marat Khusnullin.

In particular, this year it is planned to commission 7 artificial structures, another 65 bridges and overpasses will be reconstructed. 228 structures will undergo major repairs. Work on a number of objects began under the national project "Safe High-Quality Roads".

Thus, in the Luninsky District of the Penza Region, the reconstruction of the bridge across the Shuksha River, located on the Penza-Lunino highway, was completed significantly ahead of schedule. The highway is part of the regional backbone network of highways, and also connects the administrative center of the Penza Region with the district center of the Luninsky District and further with the Republic of Mordovia.

The old bridge built in the 60s of the last century was in a pre-emergency condition. The new four-span structure has a length of 101.25 running meters. The width is 16 running meters. The project provides for sidewalks 2.25 m wide. The total length of approaches to the bridge is 235 m. Also, for the comfort of Luninets living near the artificial structure, noise protection screens more than 300 m long have been installed.

The major repairs of the bridge across the Voya River in the Nemsky District of the Kirov Region were completed ahead of schedule and put into operation. It is located on the regional highway Kyrchany – Nema – Kilmez. The length of the facility is 300 running meters. The crossing provides a connection between the Kirov Region and the Udmurt Republic. The traffic of three regional highways passes here: Kyrchany – Nema – Kilmez, Kazan – Perm and Kirov – Malmyzh – Vyatskiye Polyany.

Two artificial structures were opened in the Ulyanovsk region after major repairs: a bridge over a ravine in the Novomalyklinsky district and a bridge over the Vodoleyka River in the Sursky district. The length of the first object is 30.1 running meters. The crossing over the ravine is located on the highway ""R-241 Kazan – Buinsk – Ulyanovsk, approach to the city of Samara" – Dimitrovgrad" – Novaya Malykla.

The second object is a bridge across the Vodoleyka River built in 1967. It is located on the Surskoye-Shumerlya-Moscow-Kazan highway. The road is part of the regional backbone network and connects the Ulyanovsk Region and the Chuvash Republic. In addition, a school route passes through here.
