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.
