Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Road Safety, where they summarized the results of their work for the first 10 months of 2025. The meeting also reviewed the implementation of the new Road Safety Improvement Strategy to 2030 and through 2036, approved by the President of Russia.

"Extensive, systemic work to ensure road safety is aimed at preserving the lives and health of our people. The President has set the goal of reducing the number of road fatalities by 1.5 times by 2030 and by 2036. The approved strategy sets new benchmarks for us. To implement it, we must develop an action plan that will include both proven tools and new systemic solutions. Despite the growing car ownership, traffic volume, and increased mobility, the country has maintained positive trends across key indicators in the first 10 months of 2025. The total number of road fatalities decreased by 3.6% compared to the same period last year. Road safety is a key focus of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, so we must maintain the pace of work in this area," noted Marat Khusnullin.

Furthermore, fatalities in accidents involving oncoming traffic (-7.4%), pedestrian collisions (-6.7%), and drunk driving (-18.5%) decreased. The number of child fatalities in accidents decreased by 4.6%.

During the meeting, representatives from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented their proposals for implementing the strategy. These included improving road infrastructure, digitalization, increasing the efficiency of emergency services, developing a child injury prevention system, tightening vehicle safety requirements, and implementing modern driver assistance systems. A separate initiative was considered to expand the use of mobile devices for recording traffic violations on hazardous road sections, in response to regional requests.

Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov chaired a meeting of the State Border Commission. Representatives of the FSB Border Service, the Government Executive Office, the State Duma, the Security Council, and federal and regional executive authorities participated in the event.

Meeting participants discussed the progress of the pilot project to collect biometric data from foreign citizens entering Russia, the first phase of which began on December 1, 2024. The technology is being tested at Moscow International Airport (MIA) airports and at the Mashtakovo checkpoint in the Orenburg Region.

"Almost a year has passed since the launch of the first phase of the experiment. During this time, biometrics have identified more than 1,700 foreign citizens who were denied entry to our country. And at the end of June of this year, the second phase began, which allows foreign nationals to submit an entry application in advance using the RuID mobile app," said Denis Manturov.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, given the positive results, the experiment needs to be scaled up to cover the majority of checkpoints.

The meeting also discussed the development and implementation of technologies to optimize state control procedures based on the smart checkpoint principle. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered that the inspection time for freight vehicles at the state border be reduced to 10 minutes.

"To achieve these targets, a number of measures must be implemented, including the comprehensive modernization and refurbishment of checkpoints, the creation of a unified information environment for interaction between regulatory authorities and participants in the international supply chain, and the conversion of paper documents to digital form," Denis Manturov noted.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on obtaining integrated environmental permits (IEPs), which confirm compliance with environmental protection requirements or a company's plans to modernize its production. The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Energy, and Rosprirodnadzor, as well as regional representatives.

"Since the beginning of 2025, about a thousand companies have received comprehensive environmental permits. To date, more than 3,600 enterprises have successfully completed this process. Rosprirodnadzor is currently reviewing another 152 applications. We need to gradually improve the level of environmental responsibility in businesses. Companies must smoothly transition from outdated and resource-intensive technologies to more modern ones," said Dmitry Patrushev.

On January 1 of this year, a law came into effect requiring large enterprises, including those operating in the industrial, fuel and energy sectors, housing and utilities, and agricultural enterprises that have a significant negative impact on the environment, to obtain comprehensive environmental permits. Failure to obtain these permits will result in a 100-fold increase in environmental impact fees, as well as fines, beginning in 2026.

Since September of this year, at the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister, representatives of Rosprirodnadzor have been conducting unscheduled inspections and preventive visits to enterprises that have not applied for IEPs. These visits will continue until the end of next year.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the need for outreach to businesses in the regions, as the economic well-being of the Russian Federation's constituent entities depends on the stability of their businesses. The Deputy Prime Minister tasked regional headquarters with monitoring the process and recommended holding them on a weekly basis, involving both businesses and Rosprirodnadzor departments. Federal agencies were instructed to "supervise" regions with low rates of obtaining IEP documents.

The transition to the new system began in 2019. To ensure a timely transition, training seminars and federal headquarters were held for businesses, and the permit processing time was halved. Soon, for the convenience of businesses, obtaining a comprehensive environmental permit will be possible through the government services portal.

The Prime Minister congratulated tax authorities on their professional holiday and 35 years of service.

Mikhail Mishustin's video address to employees and veterans of the Federal Tax Service.

14 hours ago

Good afternoon, dear colleagues, dear friends!

Congratulations on your professional holiday – Tax Authority Worker's Day – and on your anniversary – 35 years of service.

The implementation of large-scale programs in medicine, science, education, and culture largely depends on the results of your work. Social support for people, improvement of the business climate, and, of course, the achievement of economic sovereignty and the national development goals set for us by the President.

Thanks to the service's work, over 16.5 trillion rubles have already been received into the budget in the first eight months of this year.

Over three and a half decades, the country's tax service has come a long way and accumulated unique experience.

And now you're actively implementing innovative software products, best tools, and best practices. This allows you to maintain a unified and transparent record of all taxpayers in the country, ensure timely monitoring of incoming funds, significantly reduce paperwork and the number of audits, and reduce the overall administrative burden on businesses. This ensures that businesses don't waste time on bureaucratic procedures, and that people can easily and conveniently interact with the government and the service—making payments, receiving simplified deductions, and receiving government services. Incidentally, this year, more than 1.5 million people have already taken advantage of these deductions. This speaks volumes about the high level of service your service is receiving.

It is important to pay special attention to the quality of services provided.

The President noted that, in today's environment, improving the efficiency of all areas of labor productivity is inextricably linked to digitalization. The creation of such solutions allows, among other things, for the optimization of interactions between citizens, businesses, and the government. This opens up enormous opportunities for planning and development in various industries, regions, and cities.

To this end, the government has launched a new national project, "Data Economy." It aims, among other things, to implement modern technologies for the transition to electronic document management, ensuring proactive delivery of government services with the fastest possible results. It also aims to align the work of all levels of government around the interests of every citizen of our country.

Today, the Federal Tax Service offers over 70 online services. Over 64 million people have already used their personal accounts to access them.

Dear friends!

It's important to continually improve, continually increase the transparency of the tax system, and develop new formats for providing services to citizens and businesses. This, I emphasize again, will contribute to achieving national goals and strengthening our country's economy.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the staff and veterans of the service for their dedicated approach to their work and the professional performance of their duties. I wish you, your family, and loved ones good health, success, and prosperity.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko opened Science Day at the AI Journey forum, the year's key event in the field of artificial intelligence. The forum focused on the emerging ideas that shape the future of our country.

"Our President attaches great importance to artificial intelligence. We are grateful that the legacy of each such event is marked by important decisions and instructions that enable us to consistently move forward. The day before yesterday, the head of state outlined crucial areas related to the development of future AI. He noted that it is no longer just the largest companies that are competing for their own fundamental language models, but entire countries. The President also emphasized that global competition today is primarily for computing power, energy, and the ability to train their own fundamental models," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Chernyshenko added that Russia needs its own fundamental base—human resources, science, infrastructure, and applied projects. This ensures the country's technological leadership, which is one of the national goals according to the decree of the President of Russia: "Then we will be ready for any challenges humanity faces today."

This year, the International Foresight Conference on Artificial Intelligence was held. Scientists from 36 countries worked for a year across 25 sessions and identified 10 generally accepted areas for the development of AI science. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that these areas provide the foundation for breakthroughs that no one else in the world has yet considered.

"As part of the federal project 'Artificial Intelligence,' the Ministry of Economic Development regularly holds selections and competitions for leading research centers. Following a fair selection process, we have 13 research teams. They are part of the Russian elite of AI technology developers. This year, we selected the third wave of research centers. They have dedicated their research entirely to 10 foresight areas. And we have a fourth wave ahead, where we will also be awarding grants to scientists," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the priority is to build an honest and open scientific environment. Russia is ready to work with those who believe in the development of AI for the sake of real progress.

"Russia has its own path. Scientists are joining us. This shows that they share our values. Historically, thousands of doctors from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East were trained in the USSR. They learned from Soviet specialists, adopted their methods, and then improved their national healthcare systems back home. During the pandemic, Russia provided assistance to nearly 50 countries, sending medicines, equipment, and its own doctors," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

He emphasized that an initiative like the International AI Foresight should be accessible to everyone willing to develop and improve it: "We've been working on this together for a year, which means the results we've achieved should be publicly available."

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Sber, together with other AI research centers, has opened access to a platform that will accelerate research cycles. It already includes modules for searching for articles, assessing protein stability, and making climate forecasts.

Andrey Belevtsev, Senior Vice President and Head of Technological Development at Sberbank, also took part in the opening of Science Day.

"This year, we've expanded the conference's scope. We have a new section, Deep Dive, where we'll be covering more technology and the work of scientists and researchers. This year, without exaggeration, can be called a year both in science and for science, as it saw the first papers produced entirely by artificial intelligence. I think this is very significant, because in the near future, no scientific research will be conducted without the help of artificial intelligence. And I want to thank Dmitry Nikolaevich for his support of scientific development in Russia at the highest level," he said.

The agenda of the meeting of the State Commission on Arctic Development included the implementation of long-term plans for the comprehensive socio-economic development of key settlements in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation, the development of utilities, energy, and social infrastructure in closed administrative-territorial entities (ZATOs), and the expansion of the Affordable Rental Housing program to the Arctic region.

"Master plans for 15 Arctic key settlements were developed at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin and approved by the Russian Government on October 27 of this year. They were created taking into account the opinions of residents, their wishes, and the accumulated experience of implementing master plans in the Far East. By 2035, the plans provide for the renovation of housing stock, the development of housing and utilities infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, education, sports, and culture. In short, they aim to create better living conditions for people. The required funding by 2035 amounts to 2.9 trillion rubles, of which 555 billion rubles comes from the federal budget, almost 1.8 trillion rubles from extra-budgetary sources, and the remainder from regional budgets. Therefore, it is essential to ensure ongoing oversight of the use of these funds," Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev opened the meeting.

The master plans were developed with input from residents, who identified priorities in healthcare (57%), infrastructure (43%), and culture, sports, and leisure (25%). Based on the master plans, the government approved long-term development plans for the period up to 2035.

The implementation of long-term plans is aimed at achieving the national goals set by the Presidential Decree of May 2024, in terms of improving the quality of living environment, increasing investment in fixed assets, and increasing the share of the tourism industry in GDP.

Of the 516 planned activities, 77 (15%) are aimed at developing transport infrastructure. The Kolyma-Omsukchan-Omolon-Anadyr highway in Chukotka will be built, and the Vorkuta airport airfield will be reconstructed.

The implementation of 130 projects (25%) will improve the quality of housing and utilities services and transform the urban environment. Embankments in Arkhangelsk and Murmansk will be improved, and water and heat supply networks in Krasnoyarsk Krai and Yakutia will be reconstructed.

81 projects (16%) will be implemented in the field of scientific and educational activities. These include the creation of the Snezhinka international Arctic station in Yamal, the Arctic Star inter-university campus in Arkhangelsk, and a world-class university campus at Murmansk Arctic University.

Ninety-seven projects (19%) are aimed at creating sports and cultural infrastructure. The "Cradle of the Russian Fleet" historical and cultural park will be built in Murmansk, a community center will be built in the workers' settlement of Iskateley in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and the Trud stadium in Arkhangelsk will be modernized.

As Alexey Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Far East and Arctic, noted, the goal of implementing long-term plans is not only to rejuvenate the appearance of agglomerations but also to create conditions for new investment projects. "More than 120 investment projects with an investment volume of 19 trillion rubles are planned for implementation in key areas. For example, in Komi, we are working on creating a chemical complex for the production of ammonia and urea. The investment is estimated at 200 billion rubles. The creation of 2,000 jobs is planned, and taking into account the work of related enterprises and social infrastructure, approximately 10,000. In the Murmansk Region, the site of a former ship repair yard for the navy is planned for development. S7 Airlines is building a new modern ship repair yard on the territory adjacent to the Murmansk seaport. In Chukotka and Novodvinsk (Arkhangelsk Region), there are plans to develop the Sovinoye gold deposit and create a private industrial park for the pulp and paper industry," he added.

Under the program to write off two-thirds of the outstanding budget loan debt, 35 billion rubles have been allocated for long-term planning activities. In Karelia, the program will support the construction of wastewater disposal networks in Kem and the modernization of heating networks in Belomorsk. In Krasnoyarsk Krai, it will help reconstruct drinking water supply systems in Dudinka. In Murmansk Oblast, it will help relocate residents from dilapidated housing and conduct major repairs to buildings. In Komi, the funds will be used for the major repairs of the Usinsk water pipeline.

Within the framework of treasury infrastructure loans, the allocation of limits among regions for long-term plan activities totaling 30 billion rubles has been approved, starting in 2026. Currently, the Russian Government is gradually supporting proposals for distributing treasury loans: 3.5 billion rubles have already been approved for the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Karelia, and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) for the reconstruction of housing and utilities networks and the creation of tourism and sports infrastructure.

The primary source of funding for the federal budget will be sectoral state programs, in accordance with the President's directive to allocate 5% of these funds to the implementation of long-term development plans for the Arctic and the Far East. Federal agencies have allocated 67 billion rubles in their programs for the 2026–2028 budget cycle. Thus, for the first three years, the federal budget's share of long-term plans will amount to almost 50% (the required federal funding in 2026–2028 is 149.8 billion rubles).

The meeting's agenda included a discussion of the implementation of an action plan for the development of utilities, energy, and social infrastructure in closed administrative-territorial entities and settlements in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation where military units are stationed.

"The program is being implemented at the President's direction, and 30 billion rubles from the federal budget have been allocated for its implementation. The President has ordered the program to be extended until 2030. Today, we will discuss how the President's instructions are being implemented in this regard," said Yuri Trutnev.

Utilities and social infrastructure are being upgraded as part of the presidential unified Arctic subsidy, provided by the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East since 2021. Between 2021 and 2023, 1.6 billion rubles were allocated, enabling the construction of a school in Pechenga, a community center in Alakurtti, and an indoor swimming pool in the closed administrative-territorial entity of Severomorsk. This funding also enabled the completion of military apartment renovations, major repairs to apartment buildings, the upgrading of over 5 km of roads, and the demolition of hazardous structures.

Following his visit to Murmansk in 2023, the President of Russia decided to develop a closed administrative-territorial entity (ZATO) renovation program for 2024–2026. The program covers 28 closed administrative-territorial entities and populated areas in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions. 30 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for 2024–2026.

Currently, using funds from the presidential unified Arctic subsidy, major repairs have been completed on 161 apartment buildings, 24 vacant housing stock buildings have been demolished, and 440 apartments have been renovated. Major repairs have been completed on four housing and utilities facilities. Fourteen youth spaces and one cultural space have been opened. Thirty-eight courtyards and five public areas have been improved.

Following the International Arctic Forum, the Russian President ordered the program to be extended until 2030.

"The renovation of closed administrative-territorial entities (ZATOs) is a crucial program, and we are devoting special attention to it, as the well-being of our defenders and their families depends on it. From 2027 to 2030, 148 projects totaling 31.8 billion rubles are planned. These include major renovations of schools, cultural, sports, and healthcare facilities, construction of social facilities, apartment and road repairs, landscaping work, and much more. It's important that our President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, supported the program's extension. But we also need support for a number of decisions, namely, approving the proposed approaches to drafting the plan and ensuring its approval by the end of this year, reducing the decision-making period for issuing special work permits in closed administrative-territorial entities to 30 days, and increasing it to 90 days. This is necessary to ensure the work is completed promptly and efficiently. Furthermore, we need support for our proposals to amend the renovation plan, and we need to establish a ceiling for co-financing," noted Murmansk Region Governor Andrei Chibis.

The third item on the agenda was the expansion of the Affordable Rental Housing program to key communities in the Arctic zone. In accordance with the head of state's directive, a mechanism for providing rental apartments for young professionals will be launched in the Arctic on January 1, 2026. Apartments built with state funding will be rented at significantly below market rates thanks to subsidies from the federal and regional budgets.

"This mechanism is already in place in the Far East. Since 2023, more than 2,000 apartments have been transferred to regional operators. Almost all of them are already occupied. The apartments are in demand and allow young people to afford comfortable living conditions and start families. Thanks to this program, families' rental costs will be approximately a quarter of the market rate," noted Yuri Trutnev.

To expand the program to communities in the Arctic zone, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, together with DOM.RF, developed a joint program, "Affordable Rental Housing in the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation." The need for rental apartments was addressed jointly with constituent entities of the Russian Federation located in the Arctic zone and the Far Eastern Federal District.

Taking into account the freed-up apartment limit under the current program in the Far Eastern Federal District, a distribution of rental apartments has been prepared among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation within the Far Eastern Federal District, as well as the constituent entities of the Arctic zone within the approved limit.

"There's a lot of work ahead. There's always a desire to get started faster. Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced large-scale reforms. The Arctic stronghold development program runs until 2035. This will span several budget cycles. We'll need to work with the Ministry of Finance to secure the necessary funding levels in the next budgets. We'll need to monitor these funds to ensure they're spent wisely. About 50% of the federal funding has already been allocated. Decisions have been made to continue the closed administrative-territorial entity (ZATO) restoration program and to build rental apartments for northerners. All these decisions will help improve living conditions in the challenging northern climate," Yuri Trutnev concluded.

That same day, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the Voin Center's Murmansk branch and spoke with cadets. In less than two years, the branch has trained nearly 5,000 cadets, including over 1,000 who completed the summer patriotic sessions of the flagship "Time of Young Heroes" program. On Heroes of the Fatherland Day, December 9, 2025, the grand opening of the center's main space, located at the Governor's Lyceum, will take place. It will be named after Hero of the Russian Federation Ivan Vyacheslavovich Kabanov. It will house five specially equipped and branded training spaces, including a pneumatic shooting range, a multi-purpose classroom for first aid and tactical medicine, and a room with underwater piloting equipment. These spaces will be used for firearms training, first aid, tactical medicine, and underwater drone piloting classes.

During Transport Week, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin met with Radiy Khabirov and Rostislav Goldshtein, Heads of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Komi Republic, as well as Ruslan Kukharuk and Georgy Filimonov, Governors of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra and the Vologda Oblast. The parties discussed the regions' socioeconomic development and their participation in the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

"Transport Week is a large-scale industry event that brings together representatives of federal government agencies, leading Russian transport companies, and businesses. Many regional leaders attend, so I seize the opportunity to personally discuss current issues with them. Transport infrastructure directly impacts regional development and improves living standards. It not only connects communities and increases population mobility, but also stimulates the economy and tourism, and optimizes supply chains. This synergistic effect is evident in the work of the regional teams, whose leaders I met with today. However, many strategically important projects in this area remain to be implemented to provide a powerful impetus for the country's development and open up new prospects for international relations," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Marat Khusnullin noted that housing and road infrastructure construction is actively underway in the Republic of Bashkortostan. One significant event was the opening of traffic on the M-12 "Vostok" highway section from the Bashkir town of Dyurtyuli to the village of Achit in the Sverdlovsk Region in July. During the meeting, the construction of a southern bypass around the republic's capital and plans to build another 14-kilometer bridge across the Belaya River were discussed.

"With federal support, we are constructing a large number of projects that have received the necessary funding, including the Southern Gate project, which we are completing in the republic's capital. A number of structures and roads are in the design stage. We will be submitting applications for funding under federal programs and mechanisms. Similar plans exist for the southern bypass of Ufa," added Radiy Khabirov, Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan.

During the meeting with the Head of the Komi Republic, the parties focused on federal support mechanisms and regional resources that will enable a planned approach to infrastructure projects and improve living standards. As of November 1, the region met its housing completion target for the current year, delivering 182,000 square meters. Bringing roads up to standard was a separate topic of discussion. Specifically, the repair of the Syktyvkar-Ukhta-Pechora-Usinsk-Naryan-Mar highway, which extends 880 km within the Komi Republic, was discussed.

"This year, we've repaired over 240 km of roads, which is significantly more than in the previous few years. We've also tackled sections that residents of the Komi Republic have been waiting for. These include the roads to Vuktyl, Troitsko-Pechorsk, Koygorodok, and sections of the Syktyvkar-Naryan-Mar highway. We're currently completing construction of a new bridge across the Lemya River. We're ready to ramp up the pace of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project," added Rostislav Goldshtein, Head of the Komi Republic.

At a meeting with Ruslan Kukharuk, Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, Marat Khusnullin noted that road construction is actively underway in the region. In October, the President opened the southern bypass of Surgut, which includes a bridge over the Ob River. Currently, the share of regional roads that meet the standards is 82.8%. Integrated territorial development projects are also being implemented in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Forty-three areas over 440 hectares have been identified for this purpose, of which 18 projects are currently underway.

"I thank you, Marat Shakirzyanovich, and the Russian Government for supporting Yugra's projects at the federal level. One such example is the early commissioning of the new bridge across the Ob River near Surgut. This systematic work allows us to improve connectivity between territories and ensure comfortable and safe travel for citizens. In 2025 alone, federal co-financing amounted to over 8.5 billion rubles," said Ruslan Kukharuk, Governor of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

During a meeting with Vologda Oblast Governor Georgy Filimonov, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the region does not have a single program in the red zone. By early November, more than 661,000 square meters of housing had been commissioned in the region, almost 12% higher than the same period last year. Furthermore, the Vologda Oblast has implemented a number of infrastructure projects using budget loans, including the construction of a school, a kindergarten, road infrastructure facilities, and the acquisition of new public transportation.

"In 2027, the Vologda Region will celebrate three significant events: Vologda and Veliky Ustyug will celebrate their 880th anniversary, and Cherepovets will mark its 250th anniversary. We are preparing for these anniversaries daily, and this year alone, we will complete 452 projects in Vologda, 339 projects in Cherepovets, and 51 projects in Veliky Ustyug. We are also working on 14 presidential directives for seven projects, two for each. We are grateful to Marat Shakirzyanovich for his high praise of our work and the pace we have set and continue to increase in construction, landscaping, and the modernization of the housing and utilities system," said Vologda Region Governor Georgy Filimonov.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Government Commission on Regional Development, dedicated to the development of the construction industry and the autumn-winter period. The meeting also reviewed regional applications for treasury infrastructure loans.

"Following the President's instructions, we continue to monitor housing construction in the regions. As of November 1, 2025, 83.6 million square meters of housing were commissioned nationwide. We also note an increase in housing under construction, reaching 120.8 million square meters, a 2% increase compared to last year. Urban development potential has increased to 475 million square meters. Non-residential building commissioning increased by 11.8% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 29.4 million square meters. The main topic of the headquarters meeting was the autumn-winter period, which has begun across Russia. It is important to ensure reliable heating for all residents," said Marat Khusnullin.

Since the start of the 2025–2026 heating season, the number of accidents has decreased by 18% compared to the previous one. This includes a 27.7% reduction in heat supply accidents and a 14% reduction in water supply accidents.

"This year, preparations are being carried out in accordance with new, enhanced requirements, and the rules for assessing facilities' winter readiness have been improved. Overall, heat has been supplied to all apartment buildings and socially significant facilities. More than 70,000 boiler rooms, 173,500 km of heating networks, and 676,700 km of water supply and wastewater networks have been prepared for the autumn-winter period," noted First Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Alexander Lomakin.

The meeting also addressed capital repairs to apartment buildings. The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of this program, as it helps slow the deterioration of buildings. Therefore, he called for an increase in the pace of work.

The meeting focused on the development of digital services in the housing and utilities sector, including the migration of communications to the national messaging app Max. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the Ministry of Construction is working on this and has drafted legislation regulating the use of Max by construction and housing and utilities organizations.

"The national Max messenger is more stable and secure than its foreign counterparts. Therefore, it seems appropriate to migrate home chats and communication channels for utility companies, management companies, and capital repair funds to it. To this end, we have initiated the centralized creation of home chats, which are being transferred to the regions for subsequent integration by management companies as administrators," said Marat Khusnullin.

He noted that these tasks cannot be accomplished solely by regional government housing oversight agencies. Therefore, it is necessary to fully engage other relevant government agencies responsible for digitalization, information policy, and housing and utilities.

Following the review of regional applications, meeting participants also approved the provision of treasury infrastructure loans to the Kherson region, Krasnoyarsk Krai, and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Three water supply and sanitation projects worth 295.4 million rubles will be implemented in the Kherson region. Krasnoyarsk Krai will receive 4 billion rubles for the major repairs and reconstruction of road and utility infrastructure in the Arctic zone. The Chukotka Autonomous Okrug will receive 1 billion rubles for the construction of a power facility and the modernization and major repairs of utility infrastructure.

The Treasury Infrastructure Loans (TIL) program is overseen by the Ministry of Construction, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.

"The Fund continues to process regional applications for financing infrastructure projects using CFC funds. Applications from 83 regions have already been approved, totaling 359 billion rubles. These funds will be used to upgrade housing and utilities services and develop social, transport, and tourism infrastructure. Implementing these projects is directly important for improving the quality of life in the regions," noted Vasily Kupyzin, Director General of the Fund, following the meeting.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova attended the opening ceremony of the International Scientific and Practical Forum "No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 Years" at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall.

The forum is being held by the National Center for Historical Memory under the President of the Russian Federation, together with partner organizations, as part of the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials—an event that marked a significant milestone in establishing accountability for crimes against peace and humanity. The event is taking place in a symbolic space—an exact replica of Hall 600 of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the history of international law was made. From November 20, 1945, to October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal held its trial of the major war criminals—the former leaders of Nazi Germany.

"Here, in the heart of our country, in Moscow, Hall 600 has been recreated. It's emotionally difficult to speak in this hall, because you understand what the world saw when the Nuremberg Trials laid bare everything the Nazis did in the occupied territories. During the war, no other nation suffered such losses as the Soviet people. According to the latest data obtained during the "Without Statute of Limitations" project, more than 8,167,000 of our citizens were exterminated within the then-occupied borders of the RSFSR alone. This is a horrific figure, hard to believe. These included women, children, the elderly, and entire families. This is impossible to forget, no matter how much time has passed; it is a memory with no statute of limitations. But understanding all of this gives us an understanding of the great feat of our people during the Great Patriotic War, which preserved our right to life and our statehood. But at the same time, it defines our responsibility to preserve historical truth and historical memory," emphasized Tatyana Golikova.

She noted that it was precisely in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, and the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials that the President signed the federal law "On the Perpetuation of the Memory of the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People during the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945." Its adoption essentially extends the Nuremberg Principles to modern history. "And in this regard, our concrete work to implement this law is extremely important. And these are not simply memorial events; this work must be aimed at shaping a national consciousness that does not allow the falsification of history and the glorification of Nazism," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

The forum will serve as a platform for discussions dedicated to the historical legacy of the Nuremberg Tribunal and its role in establishing the principles of the modern world order.

During the 2025 Transport Week events, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented awards to the best regional road teams. This year, awards were given to 10 regions that achieved high performance in implementing the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project.

"Last year, we completed the 'Safe, High-Quality Roads' national project with good results. This year, as part of the 'Infrastructure for Life' national project, we're ahead of schedule in paving. We also continue to implement large-scale projects such as the 'North-South' and 'West-East' international corridors, and the Azov Transport Ring. We're also making good progress in the regions, including the reunified ones. We've signed memoranda with all regions on road network development, so we have a plan for the next six years. It's important to maintain momentum. It's become a tradition for many regions to receive 'golden rollers' awards year after year for their systematic work. This demonstrates that roads are truly improving. Today also marks Transport Workers' Day. I'd like to point out that your responsible and essential work ensures comfortable and safe travel for people, improves the country's transport connectivity, and drives economic growth," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Ten regions received symbolic golden skating rinks for the best achievements in the road component of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project: Amur, Belgorod, Vologda, Lipetsk, Penza, Ryazan, and Saratov Oblasts, the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, the Republic of Adygea, and the Chechen Republic. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is the first skating rink for the Vologda Oblast, while this is the fourth award for the Belgorod Oblast, the third for the Republic of Adygea, and the fifth for the Chechen Republic.

Also, 12 regions received awards in individual nominations.

The Kaluga and Tula regions, as well as the Krasnoyarsk Territory, were awarded diplomas for their progress in implementing the national project's activities.

Teams from Sevastopol, the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug were awarded diplomas for their high-quality performance in implementing national project projects.

Commemorative diplomas for high levels of financial discipline within the framework of the national project were awarded to the Kostroma Region, the Republic of Ingushetia, and the Republic of Karelia.

The Bryansk and Tomsk regions and the Republic of Dagestan also received diplomas for their effective work in providing information support for the national project "Infrastructure for Life."

Marat Khusnullin also spoke at the forum's plenary discussion, "Transport Infrastructure: Balancing Public and Private Interests," which featured Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, despite the challenges, the country's road sector is actively developing. The national project "Infrastructure for Life," launched this year, is also exceeding its targets.

"I would like to thank the President and the Prime Minister for their attention to the industry. Thanks to their support, we have budgetary funds for its development. They have also set up advanced financing. This will allow us not only to meet but also exceed our road construction plans this year, building 4,000 km more than last year," emphasized Marat Khusnullin.

He also drew the attention of the discussion participants to the need to continue efforts to shorten the investment and construction cycle, implement new technologies, increase labor productivity, and attract extra-budgetary investment to the industry.
