A meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev. The event was attended by Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin, Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov, representatives of the Ministry of Education and Science, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as manufacturers of unmanned aircraft systems.

The Deputy Prime Minister presented the results of the commission's work in terms of developing a regulatory framework for the further development of the use of unmanned aircraft systems. In order to simplify the use of UAS for monitoring extended objects, forest protection activities and agriculture:

— the period for obtaining a flight permit has been reduced from 3–5 days to 24 hours;

— administrative barriers to access to the operation of individual UAS units upon receipt of an airworthiness certificate based on an assessment report have been eliminated;

— rules for performing UAS flights have been established that were previously absent. In particular, a separate procedure for preparing and performing UAS flights has been established for various operating conditions: visual flights, flights beyond the horizon, flights outside populated areas, flights over populated areas.

In order to develop the use of UAS in agriculture:

— the procedure for using UAS in agriculture during flights at an altitude of up to 30 m has been simplified;

— the possibility of using the declarative certification method for agrodrones weighing up to 495 kg is provided.

The Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin reported on the development of a "road map" for the creation of a remote identification system for unmanned vehicles in the Russian Federation, which provides for the creation of a unified UAS identification system based on the ERA-GLONASS State Automated Information System. Since this year, UAS manufactured by the Transport of the Future company and equipped with an ERA-GLONASS transponder have been used within the framework of an experimental legal regime in the Samara Region.

The meeting participants also discussed the status of preparations for the upcoming international forum on the development of unmanned systems "Unmanned Systems: Technologies of the Future", during which the project and educational intensive course "Archipelago-2025" will be held. The work is being carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Trade together with the Ministry of Transport of Russia, the Moscow government, the NTI Platform, and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. The business program will be held at the Skolkovo Innovation Center on August 14-17 and will bring together participants from more than 25 countries. The main issues to be discussed include UAS identification, regulation of air legislation, including industry legislation, and many other topics on the development of unmanned aviation. It is also planned to approve the methodology for rating the "droneification" of regions as part of the business program. The forum will start with the intensive course "Archipelago" on August 7. The participants, including representatives of the UAS industry, universities and government agencies, will develop a unified concept of the digital space for unmanned devices.

The forum will also feature a large-scale exhibition that will bring together about 750 exhibits from more than 200 developers.

The construction of non-residential real estate plays an important role in the comprehensive formation of a comfortable urban environment. The construction of commercial, industrial, administrative and social buildings contributes to the creation of a balanced infrastructure and sustainable economic growth, and also provides employment for the population. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The construction of non-residential infrastructure is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of settlements and improving the quality of life of people. Schools, clinics, enterprises and shopping centers create an environment in which residential areas become truly comfortable for living. In the first six months of this year, 14.2 million square meters of non-residential premises were commissioned in the country, which is 11% more than last year. This generally indicates the development of business activity and the improvement of infrastructure provision in the country. If we talk about the distribution by region, then about 63% of the total volume of non-residential construction in Russia falls on three federal districts – Central, Volga and Northwestern," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest increase is observed in the sphere of retail space – its commissioning increased by 25.3%, reaching 4.9 million sq. m. The volume of commissioned administrative buildings also increased significantly – by 21.9% (to 543.8 thousand sq. m). The industrial sector also shows positive dynamics: in the first half of the year, 2.8 million sq. m of facilities were commissioned, which is 6.2% more than a year earlier.

Among the federal districts, the leaders in terms of growth in the commissioning of non-residential real estate were the Urals (44% compared to the same period last year, about 1.3 million sq. m were commissioned in the first half of 2025), Far Eastern (30%, 664 thousand sq. m were commissioned) and Northwestern (25%, almost 1.6 million sq. m were commissioned) districts.

"Statistics of non-residential building commissioning by federal districts are quite diverse, since for certain types of buildings, there is an obvious multiple increase in the volume of commissioning. For example, the Volga, Ural and Far Eastern Federal Districts have the main growth in commercial real estate, the Central and Northwestern Federal Districts – in the administrative real estate sector, the Southern Federal District is the best in commissioning industrial space, and the North Caucasian Federal District is the leader in commissioning agricultural buildings. At the same time, in terms of federal districts, the commissioning structure is stable," noted Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Faizullin.

Among the subjects of the Russian Federation in the first half of 2025, the leaders in terms of total commissioning of non-residential buildings were Moscow Region, where about 1.9 million square meters were commissioned, Moscow (more than 1 million square meters), Sverdlovsk Region (656.4 thousand square meters), St. Petersburg (557.2 thousand square meters), Krasnodar Region (501.3 thousand square meters) and the Republic of Tatarstan (493.8 thousand square meters).

"According to available data, 11,964 permits for the construction of non-residential buildings for a total area of 27.7 million square meters were issued in January-June 2025. Moreover, industrial and commercial facilities are in the lead. This is 9.4 million square meters and 4.7 million square meters, respectively," said Dina Safiullina, head of the Project Directorate of the Ministry of Construction.

Traditionally, at the forum we will sum up what we have managed to do, discuss what other mechanisms for economic development and improving the quality of life of Far Easterners need to be developed, and outline long-term plans. The key to the accelerated socio-economic development of the Far East is the support of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, his vision of the priority of the tasks facing the macro-region. The development of the Far East has been declared a national priority for the entire 21st century by the head of state. And we will do everything possible to fulfill the tasks that the head of state sets for us. The EEF helps us in this, having become a world-class platform for discussing various aspects of the economy, attracting investment, the social sphere with leading investors, business representatives and government bodies. “We traditionally look forward to seeing our foreign partners at the forum and are ready to strengthen cooperation with them,” said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.

"The shift of business, economic and cultural activity centres to the East is one of the central trends of modern history, which inevitably leads the world to multipolarity based on equality. In accordance with the demands of the times, Russia is consistently moving in this direction. Over the past years, the Eastern Economic Forum has secured its status as the most important platform aimed at forming partnerships with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the dynamic development of the Far East. The programme of the anniversary forum will include thematic sessions on the most pressing issues – from the development of human capital and the urban environment to issues of technological breakthrough and international cooperation. Particular attention will be paid to creating conditions for a comfortable life in the region, as well as creative industries as a driver of a new type of economy. I am convinced that the forum will allow us to develop practical solutions for forming specific vectors of Russia's development in accordance with the current geopolitical situation and will strengthen its role in the economy of the future," said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organising Committee.

The track "The Far East – a Territory for Life and Development" will be devoted to issues of demographic policy, modernization of social infrastructure, education and healthcare, as well as measures to support the population.
