Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at a meeting with deputy prime ministers, December 8, 2025

Commenting on the decision at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on December 8, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the Arctic Star campus will focus on key areas of life and activity in the Russian Arctic zone, including shipbuilding, the development of shipping along the Northern Sea Route, and the development of natural resources.

"It's important to note that the activities of such sites are closely linked to the industry focus of the region where they are located, based on the needs of its businesses. This issue was discussed in detail during the presentation of the inter-university campus in the Omsk Region, which we visited," the Prime Minister emphasized.

According to Mikhail Mishustin, the program to create a world-class campus network in Russia was launched four years ago at the President's initiative. To date, 29 campuses have been commissioned, and four more will be launched by the end of the year.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Creating a Network of Modern Campuses," which is part of the national project "Youth and Children."

Order No. 3568-r of December 2, 2025

By the end of 2025, 382.3 million rubles will be allocated for the comprehensive development of the Novorossiysk transport hub. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order.

Budgetary investments allocated from the Government's reserve fund will, in particular, allow for the accelerated construction of the B receiving and dispatching railway yard at Novorossiysk station, the continuation of the reconstruction of the section between the Kirillovsky checkpoint and Park B, and the completion of the reconstruction of the Gaiduk traction substation.

In addition, using the allocated funds, the reconstruction of the first main track will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In September 2025, the Novorossiysk Transport Hub development project was included in the comprehensive state program "Construction," which made it possible to attract federal budget funds for its implementation.

In total, approximately 50 km of new railway track is planned for construction. This will eliminate bottlenecks in the approaches to seaports in southern Russia, which in turn will improve the speed of cargo delivery.

As Mikhail Mishustin reported at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on December 8, nearly 70 billion rubles have been allocated for such purposes by 2030.

"We will continue to develop new logistics routes and increase highway capacity to ensure reliable product deliveries and enable people to travel quickly and easily across the country," the Prime Minister emphasized.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Development of the core railway network", which is part of the new national project "Efficient transport system".

Marat Khusnullin made a working visit to the Luhansk People's Republic.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin conducted a working visit to the Luhansk People's Republic. In Severodonetsk, he inspected facilities, including a restored dental clinic, and at meetings in the regional capital, he summarized the LPR's socioeconomic development over the past year.

"The main goal of my visit to Severodonetsk is to expedite the resolution of the complex heat supply issue. Not all networks are ready to supply heat. Measures have been taken, and specialists will be working around the clock. As the operational task is completed, more homes with heating radiators should be added. We have two weeks for this. Otherwise, road repairs and home restoration are progressing well in Severodonetsk, and we have approved plans for 2026 to continue this work. Some social and cultural facilities have also been restored, and others are planned for 2026-2027," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

During his inspection of the restored facilities, the Deputy Prime Minister visited a dental clinic, which will begin accepting visitors from across the Severodonetsk agglomeration by the end of the year.

"The clinic is designed to accommodate approximately 250 patients per day—importantly, including children. We need to increase the medical staff to handle this volume and all areas of care. Everything has been fully restored and renovated under the supervision of the Single Customer; all that remains is the installation of the equipment," said Marat Khusnullin.

At meetings in Luhansk, he summarized the year's results for the republic's socio-economic development and discussed issues of industry and agriculture with those gathered.

"The Luhansk People's Republic has become a consistent leader in cash flow and program implementation. I thank the head of the region, Leonid Ivanovich Pasechnik, and his team for this work. However, there is still room for improvement. The main issue we discussed today was economic planning, which is how we can achieve growth. Without this, it will be difficult to reach the Russian average. We agreed with representatives of the federal Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Chairman of the LPR Government, Yegor Viktorovich Kovalchuk, to develop a unified economic development plan. It is important to focus on attracting investment, creating jobs, and increasing the tax base. I believe all the prerequisites are in place: a developed industrial base, free economic zone incentives, and support measures," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

He added that 188 industrial enterprises have been launched in the LPR to date, providing jobs for over 16,000 people. Thirty-one large food and processing enterprises are developing in the region's agricultural sector.

"We listened to the investors. I noted that they are participants in the SEZ, benefit from preferential loans under the Fund for Development Programs, produce import-substituting products, have expanded their sales geography, and are ready to further expand their capacity and markets. We will support them!" the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov held a regular meeting on assistance to the Kursk Region. The event was attended by the heads of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov; the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov; the Ministry of Labor, Anton Kotyakov; Kursk Region Governor, Alexander Khinshtein; and representatives of the Ministry of Construction and other ministries.

Over the past two years, federal budget funds allocated to Kursk Oblast for assistance have totaled over 220 billion rubles. Of this, approximately 190 billion rubles have been allocated for targeted support measures for residents of the affected areas: one-time financial assistance, compensation for property loss and health damage, and housing certificates.

According to the First Deputy Prime Minister, work to restore the Kursk region's economy is now on schedule, allowing for the reallocation of resources from temporary solutions to systemic mechanisms.

"First and foremost, this concerns monthly financial assistance payments of 65,000 rubles to the region's residents. This was in place until the liberation of the Kursk Region and was extended in May at the governor's request. Since the beginning of the year, over 82 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for these purposes. The government has decided to make the December payment and then use the funds for other regional life support measures," said Denis Manturov.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the need to continue issuing housing certificates, taking into account citizens' rights to use them in other districts of the region or regions of Russia, and also issued a number of instructions for additional support for residents of the Kursk region:

Develop funding for the repair of housing that was not directly damaged by the Ukrainian Armed Forces but was abandoned for security reasons and became unusable due to weather conditions. This support measure will be promptly reviewed by the Russian Ministry of Finance and launched next year;

to legally regulate the issue of issuing housing certificates to owners of shared property;

Consider allocating funds from the federal budget to compensate residents of the region for the loss of vehicles as a result of the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"I would like to emphasize that all the instructions given by the President have been fulfilled or are in the process of being implemented. Everyone has a roof over their heads, even those who are currently unable to physically return to their permanent place of residence for safety reasons. They are either able to rent housing, or we are placing them in temporary accommodation centers, while, of course, increasing the issuance of certificates," the Kursk Region Governor emphasized.

Special attention was given to the restoration of affected businesses. Aid totaling 2.2 billion rubles has already been provided to 19 agricultural companies. Denis Manturov noted that agricultural support is being closely monitored by the relevant ministries.

"As for industrial facilities, the primary mechanism here is loans and grants from the regional Development Fund. 2.4 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget to its capital. And payments to Kursk Region enterprises are already being made. It's important to deliver all planned tranches to recipients by the end of the year," the First Deputy Prime Minister stated. He added that an additional 2 billion rubles have been allocated by the end of the year from the Ministry of Economic Development to support more than 150 small and medium-sized businesses.

Denis Manturov supported the Ministry of Finance's initiative to extend the deferral of tax and insurance premium payments for businesses in the Kursk region's border region for another 12 months, which will free up some of their working capital to support their ongoing operations.

Work to restore the socio-economic potential of the Kursk region is being carried out within the framework of the program for the restoration and development of border regions approved by order of the President.

"Under the first stage, through 2027, the federal budget has allocated 38.2 billion rubles for the region. These funds are already being allocated, allowing us to focus on three key objectives: ensuring security, restoring social and infrastructure facilities, and supporting the Kursk Region's economy. Work in all areas is proceeding according to the approved schedule," noted Denis Manturov.
