Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak made a working visit to the Republic of Tatarstan. He held a meeting with the head of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, spoke at the Oil Summit, visited the republic's infrastructure and educational facilities, and met with participants in regional industry competitions and school Olympiads.

Alexander Novak visited the Tatneft scientific and educational center, the Higher School of Oil, where he met with schoolchildren who won the Sustainable Development Goals competition, the environmental Olympiad, and the leaders of the School Biolaboratories program. "New industries require engineers and scientists of a new format, for whom imaginative thinking, research skills, and the ability to make effective decisions come to the fore. Therefore, in addition to the specialized knowledge that you receive here, it is important that you learn to communicate, be a leader, and work in a team. All the necessary conditions are in place for this – modern laboratories, comfortable classrooms, and experienced teachers," said Alexander Novak.

He visited the exhibition of oil and gas equipment as part of the Oil Summit, and also spoke at the panel session "Tatneft – 75 years of technological leadership and contribution to the development of the Russian fuel and energy complex: a look into a sustainable future." The Deputy Prime Minister spoke about the implementation of tasks to achieve technological sovereignty. "As part of the energy strategy until 2050, in order to achieve technological sovereignty and ensure technological leadership, it is proposed to form an ecosystem that will allow developing economic incentives for investment in technology and equipment while removing administrative barriers, and create a domestic pool of serial technologies for the fuel and energy complex. Also key elements are the digital transformation of the industry, attracting and retaining qualified personnel, ensuring professional development of personnel," said Alexander Novak.

Answering a question about the future of oil and gas production over the next 20-30 years, he said that global demand for oil is expected to grow at least until 2035 amid the growing number of cars in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and Africa. “The key factors in the dynamics of demand will be an increase in transportation and a change in the structure of the vehicle fleet towards electric transport and increased efficiency of internal combustion engines. A significant increase in demand will be observed in petrochemistry. At the same time, competition in the global oil market will increase. As a result, although the share of oil in the global energy balance will decrease from 37 to 33% by 2050, the volume of demand for oil in absolute figures will increase from 102 to 114 million barrels per day,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Alexander Novak awarded the representatives of the Tatneft team with the Order "For Valiant Labor" for their great contribution to the development of the oil and gas industry and their labor successes. The Deputy Prime Minister thanked the veterans and employees of the company for their effective work for the benefit of the country's fuel and energy complex.

The Deputy Prime Minister held a working meeting with the Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov. The parties discussed the socio-economic development of the republic, as well as updating the conditions for the modernization of the Naberezhnye Chelny TPP. The implementation of the project is an effective solution for covering the growing demand for electricity and ensuring reliable heat supply to a city with a population of over 500 thousand people.

The Deputy Prime Minister took part in the opening ceremony of the XI Republican Open Field Olympiad of Young Geologists, which is held for schoolchildren from Russian regions and friendly countries. "The children's geological movement, which has existed in Tatarstan for over 40 years, is an example of how to effectively contribute to the achievement of national goals at the regional level, to prepare personnel for the country's economy from the school bench. The movement covers about 1.5 thousand children. I am sure that similar projects should be implemented in other regions. Such initiatives are in line with the national goal of the President to realize the potential of each person, develop their talents, and educate a patriotic and socially responsible person," said Alexander Novak.

During the trip, the Deputy Prime Minister visited Tatneft's Taneko oil refining complex, familiarized himself with its operations, and launched the second hydrocracking unit.

"With the launch of the new unit, the Tatneft Taneko oil refining complex will become the only refinery in Russia that has two hydrocracking units in its configuration. This will further increase the depth of raw material processing and the volume of production of the most valuable oil products, including high-quality Euro-6 fuels. It is important that domestic equipment and Russian catalysts were used as much as possible during the project's implementation," emphasized Alexander Novak.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova Igor Dodon, the chairperson of the Heart of Moldova party Irina Vlah and the head of the Future of Moldova party Vasile Tarlev. They discussed cooperation between the two countries in the agro-industrial complex.

"The Russian Federation and the Republic of Moldova have centuries-old relations that have survived a number of historical eras. Our bilateral ties have been strengthened thanks to a common culture. This applies to similar moral and ethical values, and belonging to the Orthodox world. Today, the relations between our countries are going through a difficult period. However, despite this, we have managed to build direct channels of interaction. Russia aims to maintain and develop dialogue with all constructive forces in Moldova that advocate for strengthening Moldovan statehood, the country's sovereignty and preserving its neutral status. Russia is ready for dialogue, including the resumption of work through the intergovernmental commission," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that last year in the agro-industrial complex, which is traditionally one of the key areas of cooperation between the two countries, the volume of mutual trade fell by another 20%. And deliveries to Russia also decreased by almost a third.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that Russia is ready to develop mutual cooperation, including in terms of trade in agricultural products and supplies of mineral fertilizers.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting of the Government Commission on Agro-Industrial, Fishing Complexes and Sustainable Development of Rural Territories. The meeting was attended by the management of relevant departments and companies. The main topic was measures aimed at increasing the efficiency of agricultural production.

Dmitry Patrushev noted that in the first months of this year, agricultural production grew by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2024. To support the agro-industrial and fisheries complexes, as well as the development of rural areas, the Government has already allocated more than 560 billion rubles in 2025.

"Right now, one of the most important stages of the year for the industry is the harvesting campaign. Work has started in 22 regions. The Russian Ministry of Agriculture maintains its forecast expectations for the main crops, including plans to harvest about 135 million tons of grain," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the development of agricultural production relies largely on the rational use of land resources. For this purpose, the relevant mechanisms are systematically improved.

"A separate state program of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia is aimed at involving agricultural lands into circulation and increasing their fertility. Thanks to its activities, more than 2 million hectares have been brought into use in three years. Together with the Federal Assembly, we are developing the regulatory framework. Since 2022, six federal laws have been adopted for this purpose. This year, the so-called law on two keys was approved, which assumes that the opinion of the Ministry of Agriculture is taken into account when making decisions on transferring agricultural lands to other categories. The inclusion of agricultural lands in the boundaries of populated areas must also be agreed upon with the Ministry of Agriculture. Thus, the most valuable lands will be protected from unjustified disposal," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The law will come into force in March 2026. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to promptly complete the preparation of legal acts for its implementation.

In crop production, an important tool for increasing efficiency is the use of modern agricultural machinery. The meeting discussed the implementation of the preferential leasing program. Dmitry Patrushev noted that this is one of the most popular support measures, allowing the fleet to be updated.

In 2024, Rosagroleasing delivered almost 19 thousand units of agricultural machinery and equipment to farmers – this is a record since the launch of the instrument in 2019. This year, the volume of subsidies for preferential leasing has increased by more than 40%.

In the regions of the country, the modernization of public utility infrastructure continues under programs involving preferential loans from the National Welfare Fund and subsidies from the federal budget. The Ministry of Construction is the curator of these programs, and the Territorial Development Fund is the operator.

"In total, 2,225 housing and communal services facilities have been commissioned in the regions under these programs since 2022. This is 3.4 thousand km of utility networks and 273 area facilities – treatment facilities, boiler houses, central heating stations, etc. This year, the federal project "Modernization of Utilities Infrastructure" was launched as part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". It is important for the regions to increase the pace of implementation of all planned measures to modernize the housing and communal services. According to the President's instructions, 4.5 billion rubles are planned to be allocated for these purposes by 2030. And here the task is to increase extra-budgetary financing – this is clearly stated in the memorandums signed by the regions with the Ministry of Construction. All these measures are aimed at solving existing problems in the industry and providing Russians with high-quality utilities," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

According to the FRT programs, the largest number of works were carried out in the heat supply sector – 1.4 thousand km of heat networks and 230 area facilities were commissioned. In second place are works on modernization of the water supply sector. In total, 1.7 thousand km of water supply networks were updated in the regions and 15 area facilities were commissioned. In addition, work was carried out to modernize 351 km of water drainage networks and 28 facilities in this sector.

"In the first half of 2025, 10 industrial facilities were commissioned in the regions. For example, treatment facilities were commissioned in the Sverdlovsk Region, four boiler houses were built in the Perm Region, and one each in Yakutia and the Kamchatka Region. Heat supply sources were also reconstructed in the Nizhny Novgorod and Volgograd Regions. In addition, 38.5 km of utility networks were updated. As a result, the quality of services has improved for thousands of Russians. Work on housing and communal services facilities continues," said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.
