The second package of measures against cyber fraudsters includes about 20 initiatives to protect citizens in the digital environment. The current version of the document has been published for public discussion. Work on preparing measures to combat cyber fraudsters is being carried out under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

"The government continues its systematic work in the fight against cyber fraudsters. The first package launched this comprehensive approach. We introduced self-prohibitions on online loans and registration of SIM cards for citizens, established a ban on the use of foreign messengers by government agencies, provided for the ability to refuse SMS mailings and mass calls. Citizens have new tools for protection. But this was only the first step. The time has come to introduce liability for cyber fraudsters, as well as additional requirements for mobile operators and banks. At the same time, we are not stopping with the second package. Technologies do not stand still, attackers are inventing new schemes. Regular updating of tools for protecting our citizens in the digital environment is becoming an integral part of an effective fight," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

The second package included measures of various categories – from self-prohibitions for citizens to new requirements for mobile operators. It also provides for criminal and administrative liability for offenders.

Among the new measures is the ability for citizens to set a self-prohibition on calls from abroad: fraudsters often use foreign numbers to deceive citizens. Moreover, mandatory marking of international calls is being established. Thus, even citizens who do not set a self-prohibition will be warned that the call is coming from another country.

Punishment is envisaged for the use of artificial intelligence by fraudsters to commit thefts or extort money and property from citizens. The minimum penalty that fraudsters may face for using AI to commit theft is a fine of 100,000 to 500,000 rubles, the maximum penalty is imprisonment for up to six years. In addition, administrative liability is introduced for actions in the sphere of illegal organization of digital currency circulation, for example, for illegal mining.

The second package establishes the obligation of telecom operators to transfer information about numbers from and to which fraudulent calls are made to the GIS "Antifraud" registry, as well as to suspend traffic to numbers included in the registry (except for calls to emergency services). The GIS "Antifraud" is a platform for the prompt interaction of government agencies, banks, telecom operators and other organizations to combat cyber fraud and allows for the exchange of information about fraud attempts in real time. A pilot has now been launched to test the solutions.

In addition, the right of telecom operators to use anti-fraud measures, including using artificial intelligence, to identify suspicious calls is being introduced. Information contained in the GIS "Anti-fraud" can be used for these purposes.

A mechanism for extrajudicial operational blocking of phishing sites (so-called mirror sites) aimed at deceiving users and stealing their data is being introduced.

Measures to combat droppers – intermediaries of fraudsters who transfer their cards or e-wallets to them – are being expanded. A limit on the number of bank cards is being introduced – no more than 10 issued cards per person. This measure will also make it easier for banks to monitor transactions and identify suspicious operations.

In total, under the program in Khabarovsk Krai, the state company financed the construction of 2,388 apartments within the framework of 11 projects.

"The Affordable Rental Housing in the Far East program, initiated by President Vladimir Putin, is a powerful tool for solving the personnel issue in the Far East. Thanks to the effective work of DOM.RF and the support of the federal center, we are creating a solid foundation for the development and retention of specialists and young families in the region. These are not just square meters, these are investments in the future of the region, in attracting and retaining talented people who want to live and work here for the benefit of our country," said Dmitry Demeshin, Governor of Khabarovsk Krai, during a visit to the apartments.

DOM.RF is the operator of the Affordable Rental Housing in the Far Eastern Federal District program.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko, as part of a working visit to the Republic of Belarus, spoke at a foresight session in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) on the topic “International Scientific Foresight of AI: the Future of Artificial Intelligence in Cooperation”.

The foresight session brought together more than 90 representatives of the scientific community from Russia and the Republic of Belarus. The organizers were the Strategic Agency for Support and Formation of AI Developments and the International Alliance in the Sphere of AI.

"We hold an annual conference called "Journey into the World of Artificial Intelligence" – AI Journey, which is traditionally attended by our President Vladimir Putin. He ordered this international foresight session to be held. This was dictated, among other things, by the fact that the International Alliance in the Sphere of Artificial Intelligence was organized, which included 14 countries, including the Republic of Belarus. And fulfilling its tasks, we, together with scientists and international experts, identified 10 key areas of fundamental scientific research in the field of AI, which, in our opinion, should predetermine the future. They formed the basis of this international foresight," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

This year, 12 foresight sessions have already taken place, seven of which were held outside the Russian Federation – in Morocco, the UAE, Serbia, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and two sessions in China, and another five – at the Sber technohub, MIPT, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, NTI Platform and Lomonosov Moscow State University. This year, Belarusian scientists from the United Institute of Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and the IT holding BelHard also participated in two foresight sessions – in St. Petersburg and Uzbekistan.

The final report analyzing the results obtained from such foresights is expected to be ready in October.

“The results of the foresight should be published so that each scientist can make their own contribution and see the results of their activities,” the Russian Deputy Prime Minister noted.

Foresight participants from Russia and the Republic of Belarus focused on four key areas of AI development: "Architectures, Machine Learning Algorithms, Optimization, and Mathematics", "Fundamental and Generative Models", "Control, Decision Making, and Agent/Multi-Agent Systems", and "AI for Narrow Tasks". They proposed developing large visual-linguistic and multimodal AI models, as well as developing multimodal and multidimensional transformers.

According to Dmitry Chernyshenko, one of the key formats could be the joint work of leading research teams in the field of AI from the Republic of Belarus, as well as business representatives with 13 Russian research centers in the field of AI. Russian centers received grants as part of the second and third selection waves and conduct research in the areas of strong, multi-agent, trusted, applied artificial intelligence.

The Deputy Prime Minister invited the participants of the foresight session to visit research centers in the field of artificial intelligence in Russia and study their experience.

"This is in line with the Main Directions for the Implementation of the Provisions of the Treaty on the Creation of the Union State for 2024-2026. And I think it will be a significant milestone for the creation of joint sites and research projects between Russia and Belarus," concluded Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Vladimir Karanik emphasized: “Today, specialists have gathered who will determine how artificial intelligence will develop in Belarus and Russia, what developments we can offer each other, how to ensure that this development is safe and aimed at the development of humanity and the economies of our countries.”

During his working visit to the Republic of Belarus, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko discussed with Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Turchin issues of bilateral cooperation between the countries in the fields of science, education, youth policy, tourism and the cultural and humanitarian sphere.

The event took place in the Government House of the Republic of Belarus. It was also attended by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Belarus Boris Gryzlov and First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Nikolai Snopkov.

Aleksandr Turchin conveyed words of gratitude to the Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin and noted that the governments of Belarus and Russia are working intensively on many issues. He placed special emphasis on tourism.

"We are setting tourism as one of our country's development priorities for the next five years. Considering the large number of tourists from our countries who visit both Belarus and Russia every year, we can synchronize our efforts somewhere, exchange experience on tourism support products and development programs," said Alexander Turchin.

Dmitry Chernyshenko called the Republic of Belarus the closest ally and strategic partner of Russia.

"Our countries are connected by close, fraternal relations, a common centuries-old history, and cultural kinship. We share the same traditional values and principles of justice. I would like to convey words of gratitude to the President of Belarus, Alexander Grigoryevich Lukashenko. He recently said a phrase that resonated in the hearts of all Russians: "There is and cannot be anything closer to Belarus than Russia and the Russian people," the Russian Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

He added that the Union State is built on the basis of sovereign equality and consideration of common interests.

According to Dmitry Chernyshenko, the XII Forum of Regions of Russia and Belarus was a highlight. More than 150 young leaders of the two countries discussed youth projects, the development of the volunteer movement, and exchanged best practices.

The Russian Deputy Prime Minister noted the development of the tourism sector: "The mutual tourist flow is growing steadily. According to official statistics, last year there were about 670 thousand trips. In the first quarter of 2025 – more than 130 thousand. Growth – 6%."

He added that the tourist flow in Russia has been steadily growing since 2021. This is in line with the goal set by President Vladimir Putin and enshrined in the national project "Tourism and Hospitality" – to almost double the tourist flow.

“Of course, the governments of our countries must make every effort to realize the enormous tourism potential of the Union State,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He noted that every year the integration of the Union youth into the agenda of events in Russia and Belarus is increasing. Only through Rosmolodezh the number of their participants from the republic has increased several times over the past two years – up to 1250 people.

Cooperation between Russia and Belarus is actively developing within the framework of the formation of a single scientific and technological space of the Union State.

Since 2020, the government quota for the education of Belarusian citizens in Russia has been increased more than 5 times. Today, about 15 thousand students from Belarus study at Russian universities. Citizens of the Republic of Belarus have the right to enroll in budget places in Russian colleges on a general basis. In order to develop professional education, the Association of Colleges of Russia and Belarus was created.

Russian and Belarusian universities interact with each other within the framework of the Eurasian Network University and the CIS Network University.

Since 2021, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, Russia has been holding the International Financial Security Olympiad. In the 2025 final, Belarus will be represented by 10 winners of the national selection from leading universities.
