During a working visit to Kemerovo Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the head of the region, Ilya Seredyuk, and visited a number of large industrial enterprises in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk. At the meeting, the parties discussed the socio-economic development of the region, the performance indicators of the agro-industrial complex, and the implementation of the activities of the national project "Environmental Well-Being".

Dmitry Patrushev noted that the Kemerovo Region is among the leaders of the Siberian Federal District in terms of gross regional product. The main contribution is made by the extractive industry. The region strives to create favorable conditions for economic development. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, an important mechanism for socio-economic development is the implementation of the relevant Strategies for the socio-economic development of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) until 2035, approved by the Russian Government, which in the long term will create more than 20 thousand jobs.

"Speaking about agriculture, I would like to note that Kuzbass is a major producer of grain and oilseed crops in Siberia. We expect that the unfavorable weather that accompanies field work will not seriously affect the final harvest. As for environmental activities, Kuzbass is participating in the relevant national project. The Government has allocated more than 3 billion rubles for this until 2030. The funds will be allocated, among other things, for reforestation, reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk, developing a waste management system and improving the health of water bodies. We expect high-quality implementation of all planned projects," said Dmitry Patrushev.

During his trip to Kemerovo, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the mineral fertilizer plant of KAO Azot. The company ranks fifth in Russia in terms of nitrogen fertilizer production. At the same time, much attention is paid to the implementation of environmental protection measures. Dmitry Patrushev inspected the liquid carbon dioxide production workshop, the selective cleaning construction site, and the engineering and design center.

"Russia is one of the world's largest producers of mineral fertilizers and is a leader in their export. Without fertilizers, it is impossible to talk about a systematic increase in crop yields. Therefore, the Government is taking measures that have allowed a significant increase in fertilizer supplies to the domestic market in recent years. Your plant is one of the country's leaders in the production of nitrogen fertilizers," he noted.

In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister familiarized himself with the history of the development of the coal industry in the Kemerovo Region in the historical and architectural museum-reserve "Krasnaya Gorka". The coal industry has historically played a key role in the economy of Kuzbass; in the Kemerovo Region, the industry provides jobs for about 100 thousand people. The museum was founded at the site of the discovery of the Kuznetsk coal basin and preserves evidence of the formation of the industrial center of Siberia.

Dmitry Patrushev also visited the largest industrial enterprises of Novokuznetsk and got acquainted with the progress of environmental projects aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment within the framework of the federal project "Clean Air". Thus, the Deputy Prime Minister got acquainted with the progress of construction of the sulfur gas purification unit of the Evraz metallurgical plant. The modern powerful unit will ensure a high degree of purification of flue gases from sulfur dioxide and reduce its emission into the atmosphere by 70%. The commissioning of the complex is expected in 2026.

In addition, Dmitry Patrushev inspected the dry gas cleaning facility under construction at the Kuznetsk Ferroalloys plant. The enterprise is the country's largest producer of ferrosilicon – an alloy of silicon and iron used in ferrous metallurgy, mechanical engineering and the chemical industry. The best available technology for environmentally friendly modernization of production is the installation of dry gas cleaning complexes for ferroalloy furnaces. Currently, emissions of pollutants into the city's atmosphere have been reduced by 30% from the 2017 level.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting of the headquarters on the situation on the domestic oil products market with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Energy, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Ministry of Agriculture, Russian Railways, heads of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange, oil companies, and State Duma deputies.

The parties discussed the current situation on the oil products market during the period of increased summer demand, the terms of their sales on the St. Petersburg Exchange, as well as the supply of fuel to agricultural producers.

According to the Ministry of Energy, prices for diesel fuel and gasoline remain stable, within the inflation rate. Deliveries to agricultural producers during the harvesting campaign are going according to plan, all requests from farmers are being satisfied. A representative of the Federal Antimonopoly Service noted the need to increase gasoline supplies to exchange trading to ensure market balance.

Alexander Novak instructed the Ministry of Energy and the Federal Antimonopoly Service to assess the marginality of gas stations taking into account the mandatory costs of gas stations, and Russian Railways to solve the problem of empty wagons standing idle after unloading goods. This will help ensure timely loading and removal of petroleum products by oil companies to consumers. Oil companies have been instructed to promptly remove refineries from repairs and meet planned fuel production targets.

"We cannot allow a sharp increase in gasoline prices. I ask the Ministry of Energy, together with oil companies, to keep their finger on the pulse and manually balance the supply of fuel to the market in order to meet the increased demand of consumers in the summer and early autumn months. To do this, it is necessary to ensure its uniform sale on the exchange, and also not allow oil companies to purchase goods from each other on the exchange. They must purchase petroleum products under direct contracts," said Alexander Novak.

From the transcript:

Congratulations from Tatyana Golikova to the participants of the student medical teams on the opening of the work semester

10 hours ago

Dear friends!

I congratulate you on the start of the new work semester of student medical teams.

This year, there are 15,000 schoolchildren and students in your ranks. You will work in clinics and hospitals, sanatoriums and children's camps, first aid stations and pharmacies – providing assistance to those who need it. Thanks to you, over 1 million people will receive various types of medical care.

You are the future of Russian medicine, its most energetic and responsive reserve. Ahead of you are difficult but invaluable tasks: the first independent manipulations under the sensitive guidance of mentors, communication with patients, teamwork, decision-making in non-standard situations.

Over the entire period of its existence, 47 thousand medical students have already passed through the school of medical teams. The geography of the work of student medical teams has expanded from Arkhangelsk to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

Since 2022, members of medical teams have been helping in Donbass as part of humanitarian missions.

In student medical teams, friendship with young people from foreign countries develops and strengthens. Every year, 30 participants of student medical teams from Kyrgyzstan and Belarus participate in all-Russian labor projects of the RSO in Tatarstan and the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass.

A separate chapter in the history of medical teams was the formation of student medical teams, which include students from India. This experience is being successfully implemented in the Altai Territory.

Dear friends, may the summer work semester become a step towards your future career, a time of bright achievements, professional victories and unforgettable impressions!

Bon voyage!

Meeting of Mikhail Mishustin with the General Director of the State Corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Bakanov

You head the State Corporation for Space Activities, which is responsible for space research. And here there is a very large influence on related industries. The corporation is also actively involved in science and technology.

The President emphasized that when implementing national projects, “we must not simplify our tasks, but, on the contrary, set ambitious but adequate goals and accumulate all possible means and resources to confidently achieve them.”

It should be said that the active work over the past few months under the leadership of the President has made it possible to complete the development of a new national project on space activities. About 4 trillion rubles are allocated for its financing until 2036. First of all, we will direct these funds to maintaining the competitiveness of the Russian space industry.

Tell us what is already being done in the direction of implementing the national project, which has begun its countdown, and in the corporation as a whole.

D. Bakanov: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich!

General Director of the State Corporation Roscosmos Dmitry Bakanov

A new national project in the field of space was approved, which includes eight federal projects, a number of which are aimed at absolute competitive advantages in the field of space – this is nuclear energy in space and scientific space.

The main challenge today is that if just five to ten years ago only two or three countries had the necessary space technologies, now this number has grown to 10–12 – they are also competing on pricing.

In order to be a leader, we have two main directions.

First. This is competition in launch vehicles. Several countries already have the technology of a returnable first stage. And we have also gone in this direction. And, as you know, the Amur launch vehicle, which will be on methane, on liquefied natural gas, will have a returnable first stage.

By the end of the year, we are implementing the Baiterek project at the Baikonur Cosmodrome together with our Kazakh partners. The Kazakh side has undertaken obligations to build the launch pad, and Roscosmos has undertaken obligations to launch the new Soyuz-5 rocket, and this launch is planned for December of this year.

The second direction is the conveyor assembly of satellites. Now orbital groups are growing massively. Russia also has the corresponding technologies. One of the operators is deploying a group of more than 300 devices. And at the end of this year there will be the first serial launch. This is a technology when we will work out and adapter their distribution in orbit. And in principle, the Russian Federation has not yet created a group of more than 300 spacecraft.

M. Mishustin: I ask you to strengthen your work in two more areas.

First of all, it is necessary to increase the economic efficiency and financial stability of enterprises in the industry. Provide for the possibility of involving private business in production chains. This is very important. And this, of course, must be done jointly with the Ministry of Finance, which will strengthen the competitive potential as a whole and attract extra-budgetary financing. And this is the second task, since private business has a huge interest in space technologies. And capitalizing on this interest should also be a target task for Roscosmos.

And one more thing. Special conditions are imposed on the activities of Roscosmos. The technologies used in the state corporation must be domestic and meet the highest safety requirements.

You have been involved in digital technologies for many years, responsible for digital transformation. How do you assess the level of digitalization in Roscosmos? And what technologies are you going to continue to work with, taking into account the need to use mainly domestic software?

D. Bakanov: Yes, production efficiency can no longer be increased without the use of digital tools. Here we plan to move in three directions.

First, this is the so-called heavy software. Two most striking examples.

Firstly, this is mathematical modelling when testing engines on a stand. Thanks to this mathematical modelling, the Keldysh Centre was able to reduce the number of burns from eight to four, i.e. the efficiency increased twofold. Due to the modelling of a number of processes, we do not go to the stand with the engine, but do it on the computer. This directly affects the cost of the product.

Secondly, this is the so-called PLM. This is a full development cycle. Here, in addition to import substitution, we must also increase the efficiency of production processes by introducing such technologies. And we are developing the Russian orbital station, which will replace the international space station, using a similar Russian software product.

Moreover, as we reported to you at CIPR, in addition to one organization – RSC Energia, the lead agency for the development of our new orbital station, we are also connecting the entire list of cooperation partners. This includes the Khrunichev Center, which will make the Angara launch vehicle for it, and TsENKI – the Center for Operation of Ground-Based Space Infrastructure Facilities, which is preparing the cosmodrome. Thus, we will have a comprehensive view of the entire chain of product creation.

The second, no less important area is work with personnel. Here, too, there is a domestic development, when we do not just conduct personnel administration, but involve employees in the so-called social network of Roscosmos. When, in addition to the fact that we evaluate them, we also receive feedback from them: how they evaluate the employer.

And if we talk about digital development, we cannot fail to mention artificial intelligence. Here, together with one of the market leaders, we are preparing two products. The first is an astronaut assistant on board the ISS, so that the research and testing that are carried out there are most effective. And the second area is the use of a neural network to improve the accuracy of Earth remote sensing (ERS) images. When mentioning this market, you asked about attracting private investors. The ERS market is precisely one of these areas.

What do you mean? That it is expensive for the state to constantly maintain an orbital group of 30-40 optical imaging devices in orbit. And here, by attracting private capital, we could unload the cost part of Roscosmos. For this purpose, together with the Ministry of Finance, on your instructions, we have provided the appropriate funds for the purchase of these services from qualified customers – government agencies. Thus, government customers buy highly detailed resolution, pay for it at a market rate, the same as on the world market, and at the expense of this money, private individuals return their CAPEX.

M. Mishustin: In the course of updating the Roscosmos development strategy, it is necessary, of course, to analyze the competitors' solutions. You yourself said that several countries are currently working in the field of space research, producing return stages. Therefore, it is necessary to look very carefully at where what solutions are used, and to prioritize the use of Russian products, software, in particular heavy software, automated design systems, life cycle systems as much as possible. It would be very good if this were implemented on Russian systems.

In terms of personnel, this is undoubtedly the most important issue. You mentioned personnel training. For the space industry, this takes a lot of time. Here, the artificial intelligence system will not replace the professionals who traditionally work in this field in Russia. These are people respected in society – astronauts, technicians, engineers, scientists.

I would like to wish you good luck and the realization of all your plans.

D. Bakanov: Thank you.
