Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting regarding Incident No. 55 "Wastewater Treatment Facilities."

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting regarding Incident No. 55, "Wastewater Treatment Facilities." The meeting was attended by senior officials from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources, the Russian Ministry of Construction, Rosprirodnadzor, State Duma deputies, and regional governors.

"According to the results of the first three quarters of this year, nine facilities have been commissioned. This brings the total number of wastewater treatment facilities commissioned as part of the Ministry of Natural Resources' federal projects to improve the Volga and Lake Baikal. Work on six more is expected to be completed by the end of the year. I'd like to point out that 30% of these facilities, according to Rosprirodnadzor, are already operating effectively. And we started this work practically from scratch," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the Republic of Tatarstan's experience: this year, the region established a robust system for completing commissioning procedures at all 15 facilities, and 12 of them already comply with regulations.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that such positive practices need to be replicated. He instructed the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources to organize mobile incident response teams to visit sites in regions with successful practices, such as the Republic of Tatarstan and the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that a series of training seminars had been held in recent months to analyze the problems associated with wastewater treatment facilities. These materials were also distributed not only to the regions involved in the incident, but also to all other constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev instructed that the working group continue to visit problematic sites.

Incident No. 55 "Wastewater Treatment Facilities" was established on June 15, 2024, to coordinate the construction and reconstruction of wastewater treatment facilities as part of the national "Ecology" project, as well as to ensure the operation of these facilities and the achievement of wastewater treatment standards. Work is currently under consideration at 145 facilities in 19 regions.

When working in an incident format, a special project management system deployed within the Government Coordination Center is used. It allows for the prompt coordination of participants' actions and real-time monitoring of project implementation.

A new "Tax Deduction" feature has been launched on the government services portal. It helps you apply for popular tax deductions without leaving the portal. The service guides you through the application process step by step and provides comprehensive information on the available tax deductions. This feature is part of the federal project "A State for the People," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

A tax deduction allows you to reduce your taxable income and, as a result, lower your personal income tax bill. It can be used to reclaim a portion of already paid taxes, for example, on your salary, or to reduce the amount of tax payable to the budget for certain transactions, such as the sale of real estate.

"The new tax deduction service operates on a principle that applies to all life situations—it's a comprehensive solution for a person's needs: quickly, without visiting government agencies or collecting unnecessary documents. Personal data already in government systems is entered automatically. The "Tax Deduction" life situation was launched on the government services portal to help people complete all the necessary steps sequentially, following a clear algorithm, without switching from the portal to third-party resources," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

This new life situation allows you to simplify the tax deduction process and reduce the risk of sharing your information with untrustworthy organizations that may provide tax return filing services.

The service also helps citizens determine what type of tax deduction they are eligible for. For example, if they incurred expenses for medical treatment, education, or sports during the year, they can apply for a social tax deduction.

Citizens who sold or bought residential real estate apply for a property tax deduction.

People who contributed to a long-term savings program, a non-state pension plan, or opened an individual investment account can claim a deduction for long-term savings.

Taxpayers with children, as well as privileged categories of citizens, receive standard tax deductions.

The service is available in the life situation catalog on the main page of the government services portal. The catalog includes 38 federal life situations. Each of them combines an average of 17 government services related to a single topic: university admissions, large families, retirement, and many others. An additional 32 federal life situations are planned to be launched by the end of 2025.

Alexander Novak with the Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak met with Saudi Arabian Minister of Energy Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud on the sidelines of the Russian Energy Week international forum.

In anticipation of the Joint Russian-Saudi Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation and the Russia-Saudi Arabia Business Forum, which will take place on November 5-6 this year in Saudi Arabia, Alexander Novak and Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, as co-chairs of the intergovernmental commission, discussed current issues of cooperation in key economic sectors.

Bilateral trade between the two countries is growing dynamically, with trade volume increasing by 62.7% last year. Investment cooperation is also showing positive momentum: the volume of accumulated Russian investment in Saudi Arabia has grown sixfold in one year, while Saudi investment in Russia has increased by 11%. Over the past 10 years, more than 40 joint investment projects have been implemented in information technology, transportation, infrastructure, petrochemicals, and other economic sectors.

Particular attention was paid to cooperation in the energy sector. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that collective action within OPEC is in the long-term national interests and contributes to strengthening the economies of both countries. The parties also discussed the possibility of developing joint projects in LNG, hydroelectric, and nuclear energy.

Cultural, educational, and tourist ties between Russia and Saudi Arabia continue to strengthen. Over the past five years, there has been a significant increase in mutual tourist traffic: the number of Saudi tourists visiting our country has increased eightfold, while Russian tourists traveling to Saudi Arabia have nearly tripled. Direct flights between the two countries were established this year.

"We are successfully developing our bilateral partnership and maintaining close interaction on the international stage. This cooperation is driven by the established, trusting dialogue between the leaders of our countries – Russian President Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman," noted Alexander Novak.

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak took part in the panel session "Global Energy Markets: Transformation of Relations and Balance of Interests" as part of the international forum "Russian Energy Week."

The forum traditionally brings together heads of government and ministers, executives from leading companies, experts, and analysts to discuss key global energy trends and define the energy sector of the future. The number and geography of participants are expanding. This year, over 5,000 representatives from 85 countries have confirmed their participation. The main theme of the 2025 forum is "Creating the Energy of the Future Together."

During the panel session, participants discussed the current state and prospects for the development of global energy, issues of balancing interests, energy dialogue between the West and East, and changes in traditional resource supply chains.

"Demand for all types of resources is growing. This trend will continue due to the introduction of electric transport, data centers, robotics, and industrial development. Hydrocarbons will retain their influence despite the development of renewable energy sources," noted Alexander Novak.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman Al Saud, Minister of Energy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, emphasized the Kingdom's cooperation with Russia as significant for both countries: "Over the past few years, we have been working together, which has allowed us to develop bilateral relations in a wide range of areas: power grid infrastructure, high technology, tourism, medicine, industry, energy, investment, and education. We look forward to further expanding our cooperation."

OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Gais spoke about the organization's role in the modern world: "OPEC is evolving, as is the world. This is one of our strengths, allowing the organization to serve as a leading forecasting institution. Our research is taken very seriously, especially by the Russian Federation, because our collaboration is outstanding. We focus on economic trends, urbanization, and everything that allows us to conduct accurate analysis."

Responding to a question about Hungary's energy partnership with Russia, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó noted: "We take great care in cooperating with our Russian colleagues in the energy sector. Russia has never let us down, and contract terms have always been respected. For Hungary, only one factor is decisive: national interests."

Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, discussed the specifics of the oil and gas market, noting that additional capacity development and investment will be required after 2030: "By 2050, gas demand will grow by 32%. We believe the golden age of natural gas is still ahead."

Responding to a question about reorienting Russian energy supplies, Alexander Novak noted: "Reorienting to the East is not a forced measure, but rather Russia's strategy, defined by the President. The East is a new center of development, and we are ready to cooperate with this region on mutually beneficial terms."

Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Vietnam, Bui Thanh Son, shared the progress made in developing LNG infrastructure in Vietnam: "We are coherently implementing gas-fired power plant projects, building 14 gas terminals for this purpose. They should be operational by 2028. We need to diversify LNG supplies for the sake of stability and security in the energy sector. This provides an opportunity to work with foreign partners, including Russian ones."

Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar emphasized the importance of reliable supplies at affordable prices: "Turkey's approach is energy independence and carbon neutrality by 2050. It is important for us to adapt to the global situation and utilize all available opportunities: renewable energy, hydrocarbons, and nuclear energy."

Foday Mansaray, Director General of the Presidential Petroleum Authority of Sierra Leone, noted that cooperation with Russia is of paramount importance: "At the Russia-Africa Summit, our President, together with Alexander Novak, agreed to establish a working group on cooperation. Our partnership will be mutually beneficial for both countries."

Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Viktor Karankevich noted the specifics of the technological transformation of the country's fuel and energy sector: "We are strengthening technological sovereignty, developing industry and nuclear energy, and carrying out a large-scale modernization of the electric grid infrastructure. All of this allows us to achieve our main goal—improving the standard of living."

Concluding the discussion, Alexander Novak noted that the search for new sustainability in the global energy sector is a balance of interests. "Sustainability means ensuring the energy sector continues to develop, ensuring the well-being of its citizens, and Russia supports a joint search for solutions to these issues."

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a working meeting with OPEC Secretary General Haitham al-Gais as part of Russian Energy Week.

"We highly value our long-standing, productive cooperation with the OPEC Secretariat, which serves as an important coordinating link in facilitating interactions between oil-producing countries. Our collaboration has proven effective as a tool for stabilizing markets, overcoming external shocks, and ensuring supply security," said Alexander Novak.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Russia attaches great importance to cooperation with its OPEC partners. This format plays a key role in ensuring global energy security and stability in the global oil market. Voluntary commitments made by OPEC countries to reduce oil production have a positive impact on market balance, helping to maintain prices at an acceptable level for producers amid ongoing geopolitical challenges.

Alexander Novak emphasized that Russia is consistent in its actions, traditionally focused on maintaining global energy security in the interests of the peaceful development of states and constructive cooperation based on mutual respect, and intends to continue to improve and strengthen the OPEC format in the interests of the global economy, consumers, and oil producers.
