All federal and regional life events planned for launch in 2025 have been implemented. Now, 70 federal and 425 regional life events are available on the State Services portal, as well as regional portals and websites. Among the most popular federal services of the past year are "University Admission," "Receiving a Tax Deduction," and "Protection from Online Fraud." The digitalization of government services is being implemented as part of the national project "Data Economy," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Real-life situations represent a new stage in the development of the government services system. One service combines, on average, approximately 17 government services related to a single topic, and helps users access them comprehensively, in a single-window mode. This approach to unifying government services helps reduce the time it takes to resolve a user's issue, eliminating unnecessary paperwork and government department visits. Information already available in the government system is automatically downloaded when accessing services included in a single package.

"Today, you can resolve your issue with a life situation on the government services portal in just a few clicks. People can now complete tasks that used to take hours, days, and sometimes even months without leaving home. Life situations help save time. These services allow you to access related services comprehensively, in one place, without collecting unnecessary documents. We have launched all 70 federal and 425 regional life situations planned for implementation. The service covers a wide range of topics, including new ones such as 'Birth of a Child,' 'Tax Deduction,' 'Opening an IT Company,' and even 'My Pet,'" said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The most popular federal life situation in 2025 was "University Admission," used by 9,955,626 people. The second most popular service was "Getting a Tax Deduction," used by 4,406,971 people. The "Online Fraud Protection" service was accessed by 3,267,950 people, and 1,957,441 users received services under the "Retirement" life situation. The "Large Family" service was used by 980,620 people.

The transition from disparate services to real-life situations is one of the results of a comprehensive transformation of the entire public service delivery system. Furthermore, the transformation includes the launch of proactive services and services available online immediately upon request, as well as the implementation of strict quality standards and personal accountability of agency employees for each service.

In 2026, the development of neglected life situations, the introduction of new proactive government services, and strict quality control of all government services will continue.

Aden, Yemen, December 26 (Xinhua) — Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes on Friday against military targets affiliated with the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in the oil-rich Hadramaut province in southeastern Yemen, a local security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Xinhua.

According to him, "several airstrikes targeted positions of the Elite Hadrami Forces, affiliated with the STC." The bombing did not result in casualties or damage to military equipment, the source noted.

A day earlier, Saudi Arabia had appealed to the Transitional Council to withdraw its troops from Hadramaut, he said, calling the airstrikes an unprecedented event. According to the source, the attacks should serve as a stern warning to the STC and force it to abandon its facilities in Hadramaut under threat of further military action.

BEIJING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) — Japan's new defense budget proposal reveals the sinister intentions of Japan's right-wing forces, which seek to advance the country's remilitarization and revive militarism, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Friday.

"Despite the international community's continued criticism of Japan's military and security policies, Japan plans to significantly increase its defense budget again instead of reflecting on its actions and exercising restraint," Lin Jian noted. -0-
