Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Sport and Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev congratulated the coaches on their professional holiday and discussed government support measures.

"Coaches play a key role in the development of Russian sports, as they help develop the talents of young and adult athletes, invest their whole heart and soul in their students, and sincerely care about their results. Today, more than 88,000 coaches work in the sports reserve training system. Particular attention is paid to attracting them to the regions. This year, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, the "Zemsky Trainer" program was launched. It helps children receive high-quality sports training regardless of their place of residence. I congratulate all the coaches of our country on this holiday! I thank them for their contribution to Russia's sporting achievements, the development of our younger generation, and the popularization of sports," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The government has allocated 2.73 billion rubles for the "Zemsky Trainer" program through 2028. Under this program, trainers relocating to work in villages and small towns with populations of up to 50,000 will receive between 1 million and 2 million rubles.

The government has been consistently strengthening its support measures for industry specialists. In recent years, coaches' salaries have increased, and additional incentive payments have been introduced, including for student achievement, mentoring, and the development of adaptive sports.

"Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin emphasized that our country has been and remains one of the world's leading sporting powers, the birthplace of great athletes, victories, and records. At the core of this is our national coaching school, traditionally considered one of the strongest in the world. Today, 2,239 specialists have been awarded the title of Honored Coach of Russia. The state's goal is not only to enhance the prestige of the profession but also to create conditions for professional growth, so that coaches feel supported and confident about their future. The Russian Ministry of Sport is consistently developing a system for training qualified specialists, improving the quality of education and providing the industry with sought-after professionals," emphasized Mikhail Degtyarev.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin chaired a meeting of the Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development. Participants discussed preliminary results of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project and federal projects, and reviewed recent applications for project financing using Treasury Infrastructure Loans (TILs).

"Following the President's instructions, we continue to monitor housing construction in the regions. The groundwork we've built so far allows us to maintain a good pace. The volume of housing under construction has increased to 120 million square meters, up 2% from last year, and urban development potential has grown to 471 million square meters. We must maintain this pace and ensure that housing is commissioned this year—over 100 million square meters. We are also continuing to actively modernize the country's road network and public utility infrastructure. It's important for regional leaders to delve deeper into housing and utilities issues: take personal control of the industry's status and pricing, and review reserves and technical parameters. A comprehensive and systemic approach is needed here," said Marat Khusnullin.

In terms of achieving key performance indicators, Marat Khusnullin noted the high results of the Saratov Region, the Republics of Tatarstan, Buryatia, North Ossetia-Alania, and Perm Krai.

In his report, Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin noted that the comprehensive modernization of public utilities infrastructure is a priority for Russia's construction industry.

"The goal is to increase the grid replacement rate to 2.5% by 2030 and improve the quality of housing and utilities services for 20 million people across the country. The Russian Ministry of Construction, together with the Federal Resources Fund, has launched a corresponding monitoring program for comprehensive plans and memoranda. To fulfill these obligations, regions must analyze the relevance of utility plans and comprehensive plans, ensure the specificity and accuracy of technical solutions incorporated into design documentation, assess the impact of implemented measures on industry indicators, and monitor unit costs and the performance of utility companies. There are indeed many tasks. We are working systematically, including on increasing the digitalization of the housing and utilities sector and streamlining interactions between regional agencies," stated Irek Fayzullin.

During the meeting, the Presidium of the Government Commission reviewed applications for treasury infrastructure loans.

"We continue our systematic work on distributing treasury infrastructure loans. We have approved new applications from the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and the Republic of Karelia for a total of 19.8 billion rubles. These are important decisions that directly impact the socioeconomic development of communities and regions as a whole. More specifically, the projects cover a variety of areas: sports, tourism, and road infrastructure. The quality of public services will also significantly improve for hundreds of thousands of residents. The implementation of these projects depends largely on the coordinated and efficient work of regional teams. Residents should receive new facilities and see positive changes as soon as possible," noted Marat Khusnullin.

The Ministry of Construction oversees the Treasury Infrastructure Loans program, and the Territorial Development Fund participates in its implementation.

"The Territorial Development Fund continues to process applications for funding infrastructure projects under the CIC. Currently, projects from 82 regions have been approved, totaling 353.63 billion rubles. These funds will be used to modernize housing and utilities, as well as develop social, road transport, and tourism infrastructure," said Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund.

Specifically, the Nizhny Novgorod Region was approved for a 6.4 billion ruble CIC for the modernization of its public utility infrastructure. The planned work includes the reconstruction of the water supply system, sewer system, and the construction of four boiler houses.

Additionally, 2.28 billion rubles will be allocated to the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug for the equipping of ski slopes and ski lift infrastructure.

In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), plans are underway to use 10.18 billion rubles of KIK funds to build a bridge across the Lena River near Yakutsk and connect the new Sportivny microdistrict to utility networks.

In addition, the Republic of Karelia will receive a KIK grant of 1.02 billion rubles for the reconstruction of the stadium and major repairs to water treatment facilities.

The government has approved a draft law "On the Organization of Control and Supervisory Activities in Relation to Local Government Bodies" for submission to the State Duma. The document proposes extending to municipalities approaches previously developed as part of the federal reform, including risk-based inspections, preventive visits, pre-trial appeals, and more.

"The draft law continues the Government's systematic efforts to improve regulatory and oversight activities in Russia. We propose implementing a risk-based approach to monitoring local governments and how they exercise their powers. This approach has already proven effective in inspections of businesses and non-profit organizations. We are seeing consistent results: as the administrative burden is reduced, the effectiveness of inspections and preventative measures increases. This means the number of inspections has decreased, and their effectiveness has increased," commented Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Furthermore, the provisions of the draft law are designed to reduce local budget expenditures on fines and provide an opportunity to plan for compliance with regulatory requirements without compromising other priority tasks.

The bill proposes that municipalities, like economic entities, will be assigned to different risk categories, depending, for example, on territorial criteria. The risk category will, in turn, influence the need for and frequency of scheduled inspections. For example, for facilities classified as low-risk, scheduled inspections will not be conducted, only preventive visits. When issuing orders and determining compliance deadlines, the specifics of local budget formation and municipal procurement procedures must be taken into account.

For the first time, it is proposed to introduce preventive enforcement mechanisms for municipalities: preventive visits (the inspector does not issue a fine, but records the violation for correction), consultations, and others. Preventive measures are carried out based on an annual program approved by the regulatory body.

Municipalities will now have access to a pre-trial appeals procedure. The option of entering into an agreement to rectify identified violations will be introduced. Such an agreement may be concluded if significant material and time expenditures, or capital investments, including construction, are required. The issued order is suspended for the duration of such agreements.

The requirement to coordinate scheduled and unscheduled inspections with the prosecutor's office remains unchanged. This rule remains in effect today.

This draft law was developed at the request of the President by the Russian Ministry of Justice in close collaboration with the All-Russian Association for the Development of Local Self-Government. The provisions are planned to enter into force on January 1, 2027, but will be implemented starting January 1, 2028. This period is provided for the development of planned activities.

Alexander Novak held a meeting on energy supply for data processing centers.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting on the issue of power supply for data processing centers (DPCs) with the participation of representatives from the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Digital Development, relevant government departments, think tanks, and technology companies.

The main topic was the energy supply for data centers to support artificial intelligence. Work on this issue is being carried out in accordance with the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Data centers play a vital role in economic development and ensuring technological sovereignty. This is a strategically important area for businesses and the state, contributing to increased productivity and reliability of IT systems, resource optimization, and increased energy efficiency," noted Alexander Novak.

According to the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center under the Government, by 2030, energy consumption in data centers in the country will increase at least 2.5 times – from 1 GW to 2.5 GW.

The meeting participants discussed the necessary measures for the further successful development of artificial intelligence in terms of energy supply.

Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister decided to establish a working group led by the Ministry of Energy and involving energy and technology companies and government agencies. The working group will consider various proposals and options for powering data centers for artificial intelligence, including by utilizing existing power capacity and creating new capacity in cooperation with technology companies.

As part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, 2,500 kilometers of regional and local roads—access roads to small towns—have been brought up to standard in Russia since the beginning of 2025. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"Currently, the unified list of key settlements includes more than 1,500 small towns and villages. We are working diligently to improve the quality of life for local residents, including upgrading road infrastructure and improving road connectivity. Road quality is crucial for small settlements. First and foremost, it means prompt access to medical care, uninterrupted supplies of essential goods, and the ability to travel to the district center for social services. All of this directly impacts the quality of life. This year, under the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' we upgraded 437 access roads to villages, towns, and hamlets, representing 2,500 kilometers of regional and local road networks. We continue to work in this area," said Marat Khusnullin.

High-quality road infrastructure is one of the most important factors in the economic development of areas remote from regional centers. It allows rural areas to attract investment, develop entrepreneurship and tourism, and create new jobs.

"Transport accessibility for small towns stimulates the development of small and medium-sized businesses, facilitates regular trade, and promotes domestic tourism. These factors help foster sustainable socioeconomic development in small towns and support local budgets. By the end of 2025, we will have brought 590 such road facilities, or 3,500 km, up to standard," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

The state pays special attention to the development of rural roads.

"In addition to the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' the country is implementing the state program 'Integrated Development of Rural Areas.' This program includes measures to build and upgrade paved roads leading to small towns, manufacturing, and processing facilities. This year, 170 km of such roads will be built and upgraded, and another 168 km will undergo repairs, including major repairs. By the end of the year, all 388 km of new and upgraded roads will be operational according to the production schedule," said Roman Novikov, head of the Federal Road Agency.

In the Penza Region, the entire planned 2025 road improvement project for small towns has been completed: road workers have reopened 41.5 km of regional highways. For example, a 5.4-kilometer section of the Kondol-Shemysheyka regional highway in the Shemysheysky District has been reopened after repairs. The highway passes through the village of Vorobyovka, home to approximately 300 people.

In the Narovchatsky District, the access road to the village of Bolshoy Koloyar has been brought up to standard. The village is home to the N.M. Ashcheulov Secondary School, the local Community Center, and a first aid station. The repairs extend over 1.5 kilometers. Additionally, as part of the repairs on the Lunino-Issa highway, a 1.5-kilometer access road to the village of Bulychevo was upgraded. The village has a population of approximately 900.

In the Republic of Ingushetia, the access road to the village of Sagopshi from the Kavkaz-Nazran-Malgobek-Nizhny Kurp-Terek highway was completely overhauled. The project is 5.4 km long. The work was completed several months ahead of the contract deadline. Road workers replaced the asphalt pavement, constructed a sidewalk and two bus stops, installed barriers and signal posts, and applied road markings. As a result, the once-rutted road is now smooth, convenient, and safe.

In the Ryazan Region, 8.7 km of roads leading to small towns are being brought up to standard. For example, in the Spassky District, the access road to the village of Ogorodnikovo from the M-5 "Ural" highway was upgraded. The road is approximately 3.7 km long. The road is of great importance to local residents: it provides access to the school and library. It also leads to a memorial dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.

Additionally, in the Zakharovsky District, the access road to the village of Polivanovo from the Zakharovo-Bolshoe Korovino-Okounkovo-Osovo highway to the Moscow Region border was repaired ahead of schedule. The road is 2 km long. The village has a population of only 154, but this road is especially important to them, as it serves as a school route.

Document

Resolution of October 29, 2025 No. 1680

The government continues to implement its roadmap for the introduction of centralized procurement, whereby a specialized organization representing the interests of several government agencies—purchasers of goods, works, or services—serves as the state customer to support government agencies' operations. A resolution has been signed defining a second group of government agencies, consisting of 10 federal ministries and agencies, that are to participate in centralized procurement in 2027.

This group includes the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Sport, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, Rosobrnadzor, Rostrud, Rosnedra, and Rosmolodezh.

The decision will relieve government agencies of some administrative procedures when conducting tenders, as well as reduce the cost of purchased goods, works, and services due to the large volume of purchases.

The federal state institution “Center for Support of the Activities of the Treasury of Russia” has been designated as the centralized procurement operator for this group.

As a reminder, in November 2024, the Government approved the first group of government agencies scheduled to begin centralized procurement in 2026. These included the Federal Assay Office, the Federal Property Management Agency, the Federal Forestry Agency, the Federal Fisheries Agency, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, the Federal Service for Alcohol Market Control, the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, and the Federal Service for Water Resources.

The third group, which will include all ministries and departments not included in the first two groups, must be determined by December 1, 2026. It is expected that they will begin operating under the centralized procurement regime starting in 2028.

The signed resolution is necessary for the implementation of the state program "Public Finance Management and Regulation of Financial Markets."

The signed document amends Government Resolution No. 892 of June 19, 2020.
