Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on providing farmers with agricultural machinery. The meeting was attended by Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut, senior officials from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Rosagroleasing, and representatives of industry companies, unions, and associations.

The Deputy Prime Minister reported that spring field work has begun in 14 Russian regions and will rapidly gain momentum in the coming weeks. Currently, the pace is ahead of last year.

"One of the most important components of an effective sowing campaign is ensuring farmers have access to the necessary agricultural machinery at affordable prices. Overall, we continue to systematically build processes aimed at fulfilling the Presidential Decree's target of increasing agricultural production. This is inextricably linked to increasing the industry's energy supply and enhancing its technological sophistication. This work is being conducted within the framework of the national project 'Technological Support for Food Security.' Among other things, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, with the participation of the Ministry of Agriculture and industry companies, is developing modern Russian-made machinery essential for farmers. This primarily concerns items with a traditionally high share of imported products," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the first domestically produced breeding combine was developed last year, and work is currently underway to create a sugar beet harvester.

Furthermore, various projects are being implemented to ensure the mass production of equipment with automated controls, which increases labor productivity in the agricultural sector. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has been tasked with developing a production plan for such equipment.

The Russian government is also proposing state support measures to increase the availability of domestically produced equipment. These include preferential leasing and preferential lending. Furthermore, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and Rosagroleasing are creating a network of machinery and technology companies that offer equipment rental services for specific needs. This ensures full utilization while simultaneously saving farmers money. The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and Rosagroleasing to develop a plan for the long-term development of such organizations in the regions.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev set the task of forming a working group to jointly discuss plans for the development of domestic agricultural machinery, identify opportunities to reduce production costs, and implement advanced designs based on industry needs. The group will include representatives from several federal agencies, scientific organizations, and industry associations.

Last year, the new national project "Infrastructure for Life" began implementation in Russia's historical regions. It also includes a program for relocating residents from dilapidated housing. In the Luhansk People's Republic, for example, the first 64 residents received keys to apartments in a new building in Sverdlovsk. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The Krasnoyarsky residential complex built in Sverdlovsk is the first such building in the city in 30 years and the first relocation from dilapidated housing in the reunified regions. This is a very important event both for the 64 residents who, along with the keys to 31 new apartments, have received a qualitatively new standard of living, and for the republic as a whole. In Donbas and Novorossiya, 58 of the 69 dilapidated apartment buildings in the first phase of resettlement are located in key communities. Their development is a priority for achieving the goal set by the President—to provide residents with housing with a total area of at least 33 square meters per person by 2030," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that funding for the implementation of resettlement programs is provided by the Territorial Development Fund.

"Since 2022, the Fund has been involved in the restoration and development of infrastructure and the economy of the reunited regions. Regarding the resettlement of dilapidated housing, the Fund reviews and approves regional applications for program implementation and then allocates funding. Over 1,000 residents of Donbas and Novorossiya will be resettled as part of the approved applications for the first phase in 2025–2026. A new residential complex in Sverdlovsk was built by an investor participating in the free economic zone, whose management company is also the Fund. The courtyard of the ten-story building features public spaces, parking spaces, and sports grounds," added Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Fund.

"The launch of the five-year program to resettle citizens from dilapidated housing is a very important event for the republic. We have never had such a program before. With its launch, we have begun a systematic solution to the problem of dilapidated housing, which we inherited from the previous Ukrainian leadership. We are only at the beginning of our extensive work to improve the housing conditions of residents of the Luhansk region. Importantly, the resettlement program will also be implemented in our other municipalities. I would like to thank the Territorial Development Fund, the regional team, and our esteemed developer for their assistance in implementing this important initiative. A special word of gratitude goes to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin for his ongoing support of the republic's development," noted LPR Head Leonid Pasechnik.

Russia's construction industry continues to implement the roadmap for the Concept for Training Personnel for the Construction and Housing and Utilities Sectors through 2035. One of the key areas of this work is the early professionalization of future specialists. The DOM.RF Technologies Academy has completed the first cohort of a federal educational module on digital competencies for students in secondary vocational education, announced Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the DOM.RF Supervisory Board.

"The development of qualified personnel is strategically important for achieving the country's national development goals, and today we are placing particular emphasis on the digital transformation of the industry. It's important that future construction workers master modern domestic technologies and software while already in college. The first wave of digital skills training at construction colleges has been completed today, covering five regions: Krasnodar Krai, Kaliningrad and Ulyanovsk Oblasts, and the Republics of Mari El and Sakha (Yakutia). Given that the secondary vocational education system currently accounts for a significant portion of the influx of young specialists into the construction industry, such projects are intended to play a significant role in renewing the workforce and improving the quality of graduate training," said Marat Khusnullin.

The project began in September 2025 and was held at the Krasnodar Polytechnic College, the College of Construction and Professional Technologies in the Kaliningrad Region, the Yoshkar-Ola Construction College, the Yakutsk Municipal Construction College, and the Ulyanovsk College of Urban Planning and Law.

The educational module was integrated into the existing curricula and built around practical tasks. Over the course of six months, students studied digitalization tools for the construction industry, information modeling technologies, and the application of artificial intelligence. They worked with domestic software—the DOM.RF Technologies solution (Digital Construction Control) and ASCON products (Renga, Pilot-BIM)—and participated in project sessions and meetings with industry experts.

A key feature of the program was its adaptability: for each college, the module was adjusted to suit the students' specific training profile and current academic workload, which allowed for a more practical focus on the curriculum without placing additional burden on the teaching staff.

"Today, the construction industry is rapidly transforming, adopting new technological and management standards, requiring updated approaches to training even at the college level. In this context, early profiling and project-based work with modern digital tools are crucial. DOM.RF implements and supports digital educational projects aimed at developing the industry. Our priority is to train specialists who will be ready to tackle complex technological challenges, introduce innovations in housing construction, and shape a new urban environment," noted Alexey Nidens, First Deputy General Director of DOM.RF.

The project will help strengthen colleges' interactions with regional employers. Incorporating industry-specific objectives into the educational process allows for the development of a sustainable "college-business" model, whereby student training is directly tailored to the needs of construction companies.

The program is implemented for educational institutions entirely on a non-profit basis. Its geographic expansion is planned for 2026.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov visited the Krasnogorsk Knitwear Manufactory.

The company produces hosiery and knitwear for adults and children under the Lukomorye brand. The production facility covers 4,500 square meters and is equipped with modern machinery, enabling it to produce products that meet international standards.

The company's team is predominantly female—75 employees work on the creation of high-quality Russian products.

After the start of the special military operation, the factory actively participated in the production of balaclavas and socks for our military personnel.

Denis Manturov met with the company's female employees and congratulated them on International Women's Day. The meeting focused on support for light industry enterprises, the implementation of corporate demographic programs, and competition on marketplaces.

The First Deputy Prime Minister stated that corporate programs to increase the birth rate are becoming increasingly popular and deserve support. Specifically, this includes starting maternity benefits from the moment a pregnant woman registers with a medical facility, as well as opening crèches at companies to allow mothers to return to work more quickly.

Speaking about competition with foreign sellers on marketplaces, Denis Manturov noted that supporting Russian manufacturers should remain a priority.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated Russian women on International Women's Day.

"On the eve of International Women's Day, President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin noted that our women always have a special approach to their work. Indeed, you not only care for your loved ones and create an atmosphere of trust and mutual understanding, but also shape the country's future, making a significant contribution to the development of sports, tourism, education, science, and youth policy. I congratulate all Russian women on this holiday and thank you for your work! I wish you good health and great personal happiness," Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.

Traditionally, the proportion of women researchers is highest in the humanities, medical, social, and agricultural sciences—over 56%.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted the contribution of Russian women to the popularization of domestic sports.

"In Russia, 33.5 million women regularly participate in sports. Many of them achieve greatness and become professional athletes. Their contribution to the industry's development is also significant—more than 190,000 women work in sports," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He also spoke about women's participation in the development of tourism and hospitality. 1.5 million women work in hotels and catering establishments. On average, approximately 70% of college and university tourism graduates are women. And among those pursuing additional professional training as tour guides, travel agents, or in hotel management, they account for 84%.

The first meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the International Forum for Collective Security and other events within the framework of the Russian Federation's chairmanship of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in 2026 was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk.

The meeting participants discussed key organizational and substantive issues related to the forum's preparation, as well as coordination with other events on the calendar for Russia's 2026 CSTO chairmanship. The dates for the event were determined.

"The forum continues the traditions established by the decisions of the CSTO summit in Bishkek in 2025, which established a vector of cooperation aimed at strengthening the collective interests and initiatives of CSTO member countries on the global stage. Russia's CSTO Presidency in 2026 is held under the motto 'Collective Security in a Multipolar World: Common Goal, Shared Responsibility' and is aimed at developing cooperation to ensure the CSTO's technological leadership in the military sphere. I am confident that the decisions made during the events of the Russian watch will contribute to the realization of the strategic interests of the organization's member states and strengthen the CSTO's role in Eurasia," emphasized Alexey Overchuk, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Chairman of the Organizing Committee.

The event is directly linked to the central event of Russia's CSTO Presidency—the session of the organization's Collective Security Council on November 11, 2026. A joint meeting of the CSTO Council of Foreign Ministers, the Council of Defense Ministers, and the Committee of Secretaries of the CSTO Security Councils will also be held on the eve of the summit.

"The forum will take place on November 10-11 in Moscow. Its seamless integration into the program of key events during Russia's CSTO Presidency will bring together the highest-level participants to discuss global issues of unified and indivisible Eurasian security in a multipolar world. It will also foster stronger cooperation at the business level through the development of joint projects and business contacts. Furthermore, this new platform will facilitate the practical exchange of advanced technologies and expertise in key areas to achieve the goals of Russia's 2026 Presidency," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee.

The forum will be attended by official delegations from the CSTO member states (the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Tajikistan), as well as foreign experts from friendly states and territories. Over 1,000 participants are expected, including heads of delegations, heads of defense agencies, business leaders, leading experts, and academics. The event will be held at the World Trade Center.

The event's business program will include a meeting of the Business Council under the CSTO Interstate Commission on Military-Economic Cooperation, as well as a meeting of the Coordinating Council of Authorized Bodies of CSTO Member States on advertising and exhibition activities. A key component will be an exhibition of national exhibits from the organization's member states. The exhibit will be complemented by booths of companies and organizations presenting products, advanced technologies, and expertise in key areas of CSTO activity: from air defense systems and cybersecurity to logistics and industrial innovation.

The Russian Federation assumed the chairmanship of the Collective Security Treaty Organization from the Kyrgyz Republic on January 1, 2026. The proposal to hold an International Forum for Collective Security was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the CSTO summit in Bishkek in 2025 and approved by the CSTO Collective Security Council.

The domestic forestry sector's need for forest plant seeds by 2026 will be fully met by products harvested within the Russian Federation.

"In line with the instructions of the President of Russia, systematic work is underway to preserve our forest resources. In 2025, forest restoration once again exceeded forest loss. This is a very important indicator. The procurement of high-quality seeds is crucial here. In 2025, planned targets for this area were exceeded by more than 20%. The required volumes for 2026 will also be prepared in a timely manner and will fully meet the needs of our forestry sector. I would like to point out that this concerns only Russian seeds. They will be used, among other things, to create green belts around major cities and industrial centers," noted Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev.

The largest volume of forest seed is planned for harvesting this year in the Khabarovsk, Primorsky, and Krasnoyarsk Krais, the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Voronezh and Volgograd Oblasts. The main species to be harvested include pine, spruce, larch, oak, and cedar.

It's important to note that new regulations regarding forest seed production came into effect on September 1 of last year. For example, they define the concepts and categories of seeds, seedlings, and saplings of forest plants, and establish rules for their use in forest restoration. These changes will enable more efficient reforestation and afforestation.

The Deputy Prime Minister also added that, as part of the federal project "Forest Conservation" of the national project "Environmental Well-Being," there are plans to create, modernize, and equip more than 240 nurseries with the necessary equipment.

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and the People's Front presented equipment and certificates for the purchase of various materials needed to manufacture products useful on the front lines to female military medics and volunteer associations.

On the eve of International Women's Day, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and the People's Front donated ATVs, motorcycles, and shrapnel suits to female military medics saving the lives of Special Military Forces soldiers. The equipment was purchased using funds raised by the People's Front's "Defenders of the Fatherland" fundraiser.

Tatyana Golikova presented representatives of volunteer associations (people's regiments) with certificates for the purchase of various materials needed to manufacture items to aid the military. The government certificates will be used to purchase fabrics and heat presses, sewing machines, medical supplies, plastic filaments for 3D printing, synthetic fabrics, and mesh.

"We always see the soldiers and interact with them, but the women remain behind the scenes – and this is the incredible work of real women with big hearts, who leave their civilian lives and jobs to help: sewing, making chevrons, cooking – behind the lines for the front. There are also those who save lives on the front lines: civilian paramedics, medical orderlies, doctors, whose stories touch the heart. Visiting them, shaking their hands, presenting certificates, making their work a little less dangerous – that's the main thing we wanted to do today. This work isn't always visible, but the warmth of women's hands – mothers, grandmothers, daughters – reaches the front and gives the soldiers confidence in victory," said Tatyana Golikova.

"Today we congratulate the wonderful women – volunteers from the people's regiments and military medics who are helping the front. We presented certificates for the purchase of essential equipment to women from volunteer organizations – from sewing machines to catamarans for rehabilitation. This was made possible thanks to the support of the Russian Government and Tatyana Alekseyevna. Konstantin Simonov's poem 'Wait for Me' speaks of how war isn't just about combat and heroism; it's about love for the Motherland, for one's mother, wife, and children. Speaking with the soldiers, I see that everything they do is for their families. We will continue to support the labor exploits of the home front, bringing warmth to the front. Happy upcoming March 8th to our wonderful women!" remarked Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the People's Front Executive Committee.

"ATVs have become essential for military medics on the front lines: they enable the agile and rapid evacuation of the wounded from the front lines on stretchers, and the delivery of ammunition and personnel across difficult terrain. In today's changing warfare conditions, this equipment increases mobility, makes it easier to hide in rubble, and minimizes the risks of drones, significantly improving first aid," said a military doctor and medical platoon commander from Volgograd, call sign "Tersa."

The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia spoke with female military personnel, including a paramedic with the call sign "Solntse" (Sun). During the defense of the village of Urozhainoye, she pulled 240 men from the battlefield at night, after which she held the line for a long time, firing a machine gun, while waiting for evacuation with one of the wounded.

"Our unit provides first aid, and ATVs are indispensable for quickly evacuating the wounded in any terrain. My two dogs, Fifi and Detka, have been serving with me in the SVO for two years now. They're always nearby, helping with the work, and the soldiers treat them with reverence and affection," said a military pharmacist with the call sign "Witch" from Ulyanovsk.

Tatyana Golikova also spoke with representatives of the people's regiments. Olga Bardanova, a member of the "Volzhsky ZOV" movement, told the Deputy Prime Minister that her unit sews camouflage nets for the military. Elena Limonova, a representative of the all-Russian "Sew for Ours" movement, and Liliya Abuzyarova, a member of the "Golden Hands of an Angel" BANO, also shared their experiences.

"Our volunteer organization sews items for the front and hospitals that help soldiers not only on the front lines but also during rehabilitation. Our muffs for drone operators, first aid kits, pouches, adaptive cushions, and clothing are created in close consultation with medical personnel and the wounded themselves to provide maximum relief from pain and everyday discomfort. Every item we sew is not only practical assistance but also a genuine human touch. We include chocolates and notes with kind wishes in every package. We believe that the warmth of our hearts helps soldiers endure even the most difficult times," noted Elena Limonova, head of the volunteer organization "Sew Victory St. Petersburg."

The People's Regiments and volunteers of "Made by Women for Victory" presented the Deputy Prime Minister with tactical gear, hospital and field clothing, long-life food products, and 3D-printed items such as tourniquets and equipment parts.

"To all our defenders, of course, I wish you the successful completion of all your assigned tasks and your return home safe and sound. To all those who, like us, are forging victory together in the rear – I wish you strength, patience, and health. I wish us all a speedy victory and, finally, a peaceful sky and a sweet home nearby. Thank you very much! We also congratulate you on the upcoming holiday," said Daria Fedko, a representative of the People's Regiments and founder of the Valentin and Tamara Kudinov Geography of the Heart Rehabilitation Center.

In February, the People's Front and the Faculty of Psychology at Lomonosov Moscow State University launched a free online course, "Adaptation of Special Military Operations Veterans." This educational project aims to provide psychological support to special military operation participants returning to civilian life and to develop a system of peer-to-peer psychological support.

"Psychological support is crucial. The need for it is only growing; soldiers need to adapt when returning to civilian life, family, and social activities. Without it, this transition will be very difficult and will impact their quality of life," said a military doctor and medical platoon commander from Volgograd, call sign "Tersa."
