The government commission continues to coordinate efforts to eliminate the consequences of the emergency in the Kerch Strait.

Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev told reporters that since the sinking of the Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 tankers on December 15, 2024, more than 185,000 tons of contaminated sand and soil have been collected for disposal and sale in Krasnodar Krai, the Republic of Crimea, and Sevastopol, 160,000 tons of which have already been disposed of.

According to estimates by the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Natural Resources, and relevant government agencies, over 90% of the spilled fuel oil has been collected.

In March, fuel oil was pumped out of the grounded stern of the Volgoneft-239 tanker and disposed of. In October and November, the bulk of the fuel oil was removed from the tanker's bow.

To contain the fuel oil spill in the sunken tankers, the Government Commission decided to install three cofferdams. The first has already been installed, and work on the second and third is ongoing. After the fuel oil is removed, the cofferdams and the remaining parts of the ships are scheduled for complete decommissioning in 2026.

The Ministry of Education and Science continues to develop options for beach cleanup in Anapa and the Temryuk district.

The International Conference on Cooperation in Science and Technology is being held to develop multilateral cooperation between the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the Republic of Uzbekistan in the field of science and technology, support youth initiatives, and promote promising developments in the Eurasian region.

During the conference, the heads of official delegations will be presented with finalist projects and technological developments by international teams of young scientists in biotechnology, industrial diagnostics, and environmental safety. The selection of projects for participation in the final round was conducted in several stages. In November 2025, a competitive selection of youth research projects was held in thematic areas consistent with the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Commonwealth of Independent States for 2026–2035, approved by the decision of the Council of Heads of Government of the CIS on September 29, 2025.

Following the review, 16 projects from 60 applications were selected for in-person consideration, which took place on November 26, 2025, as part of the V Congress of Young Scientists at the Sirius Federal Territory.

Following the defense and expert evaluation, six projects were selected for participation in the conference finals. The showcase will include presentations of the finalist projects, as well as a discussion and evaluation with the participation of the heads of delegations.

The finalist projects correspond to the following priorities for the development of scientific and technological cooperation among the CIS member states:

• Transition to a new energy system based on environmentally friendly, resource-saving energy, the formation of new energy sources, methods of its transmission, storage and use.

• Transition to highly productive agricultural and aquaculture through the introduction of genetic technologies to create safe and high-quality food products to ensure food security and the formation of a full-cycle food production system.

• Transition to advanced technologies for the design and creation of high-tech products for industrial use, primarily in the medical industry, energy, mechanical engineering and the agro-industrial complex.

• Reducing the negative impact of emissions on the environment and climate, adapting ecosystems, population and economic sectors to climate change.

• Obtaining fundamentally new knowledge and technologies by providing the opportunity to conduct world-class scientific research on unique “megascience” class scientific facilities.

From the transcript:

Mikhail Mishustin and heads of delegations participated in the International Conference on Cooperation in Science and Technology. Dmitry Chernyshenko delivered a speech.

D. Chernyshenko: Esteemed heads of government and colleagues, we have gathered at the International Conference on Cooperation in Science and Technology. You have just walked through an impressive exhibition showcasing the history of Russian and international nuclear energy, with your countries' direct involvement, and the future of the industry.

Context

In our country, nine national technological leadership projects have been launched at the direction of the President. And just recently, as you know, the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Commonwealth of Independent States until 2035 was adopted. One of the goals of this strategy is to strengthen our shared sovereignty and ensure sustainable socioeconomic development. And one of the key objectives outlined in the strategy is the formation of a common scientific and technological space for the CIS.

We are confident in the prospects of implementing joint applied research projects with our friends and creating technology consortia. To achieve this, it's important for us to share science with each other and support the exchange of specialists and young scientists. Incidentally, they communicate very well, very well. You'll see this now. We have many common priorities. Issues of efficient energy, clean water, ecology, climate, food security—all of these things connect us.

The Congress of Young Scientists recently concluded at the Sirius Federal University, bringing together over 9,000 young scientists from over 100 countries.

Mikhail Mishustin and the heads of delegations participating in the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council meeting visited the Atom Museum in Moscow.

The Atom Museum is a one-of-a-kind museum dedicated to nuclear technologies of the past, present, and future, not only in Russia but worldwide. Just recently, in early November, it celebrated its second anniversary (it opened in November 2023).

The museum building is a showcase of architectural innovation. It blends seamlessly into the historic VDNKh complex. It has seven floors, three of which extend below ground level and are built into the bed of the underground Kamenka River. The building's architectural design is unusual: the three underground floors convey the depth of atomic processes, while the four aboveground floors, with their extensive glazing, create a sense of open space. The museum's total area is 25,000 square meters. The extended, floating roof, combined with the expansive glass facades, creates a sense of unity with the surrounding space.

Atom is one of the capital's most visited attractions. Over the past two years, it has welcomed over 3.5 million visitors from 80 countries. The museum's seven floors offer a fascinating journey through the history of the Soviet atomic project and the latest advances in science and the nuclear industry. The museum features interactive exhibitions, classes in a fully equipped laboratory, immersive tours, quests, and science experiments for the whole family.

The museum's foyer features an art object representing a model of a uranium atom—Earth's main energy source. The museum's narrative is built from the bottom up. The ground floor is dedicated to the past—the heroic creation of the USSR's nuclear shield. The floor above is dedicated to dreams, introducing visitors to the most unusual, and sometimes fantastical, projects that emerged when the peaceful use of nuclear energy began. And the first floor presents contemporary developments in the nuclear industry.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmytro Grigorenko instructed the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media and the Analytical Center under the Government to develop proposals for the creation of a digital platform for the development of data centers. It will integrate a set of services to support the entire data center lifecycle, from construction to commissioning. The platform will help simplify and accelerate the data center creation process and aggregate information on the computing capacity available in the country.

The platform is proposed to include services for selecting land plots and ordering inspections (for example, to check for encumbrances); information on available benefits, the availability of communication lines, the availability of electrical power, and other infrastructure. Furthermore, the creation of a marketplace for data center design and maintenance equipment and services for businesses is being discussed.

The creation of a unified digital platform will enable a transition from the construction of isolated, isolated data centers to the systematic development of a network by bringing together all stakeholders, from businesses to the government, on a single platform. Furthermore, the platform will serve as a single point of information collection on existing data centers, rental offers, needs for additional capacity, and the availability of infrastructure for their construction.

This new approach will accelerate the process of obtaining the necessary data for data center construction, make the process transparent, and reduce construction and commissioning time.

"One of our priorities is the implementation of artificial intelligence. However, this technology requires infrastructure and a sufficient number of data centers. The demand for computing power is rapidly growing. Our goal is to simplify and accelerate the creation of data centers. To this end, we are exploring the creation of a digital platform – a single platform where businesses can obtain accurate information about available sites, the availability of nearby infrastructure, and even order ready-made construction solutions and equipment. For businesses, this means convenient services that simplify the data center construction process. For the government, this means the opportunity to assess the data center market situation and determine the real need for new capacity," noted Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

According to the instruction, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Analytical Center under the Government must develop and submit proposals by March 2026. These proposals will be discussed with businesses to develop the most effective platform structure and identify the most in-demand services.
