1. On the execution of the federal budget for the first nine months of 2025, November 26, 2025. And also on support for the northern regions. The President has identified the development of the Arctic as one of our strategic priorities. It is important to improve the quality of life for citizens there, create comfortable conditions for work and study, and ensure access to high-quality and reliable communications.

To address this challenge, approximately 7,000 kilometers of fiber optic lines will be built in Yakutia. They will connect hard-to-reach and remote areas of the Arctic zone. High-speed internet will be available in 61 settlements in the republic, home to a total of approximately 50,000 people. Currently, only expensive satellite communications are available, with no backup channels. This leads to constant problems and service outages.

The government will allocate nearly 5.5 billion rubles from the federal budget to implement this large-scale project. And, according to our agreement, the region itself will contribute the same amount. All plans must be implemented within the next three years.

Maksut Igorevich (addressing M. Shadaev), please monitor this closely.

The new infrastructure will allow homes and public facilities to connect to networks with data transfer speeds of at least 100 Mbps, compared to the current 10 Mbps. This will lead to lower tariffs.

Citizens and businesses will be able to more actively use modern digital capabilities and electronic services. The adoption of technology across economic sectors will accelerate.

In addition, optical access is more resistant to external influences and is not affected by weather conditions, which is of great importance in the harsh conditions of the North.

Since the beginning of the year, nearly 550 km of regional and local roads named after heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War, as well as those leading to monuments and memorials, have been brought up to standard as part of the "Victory Street" project. The work was carried out under the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, as well as federally and regionally funded programs. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin announced this.

"The Victory Street project combines the preservation of the historical memory of the country's heroic past with the development of its road infrastructure, contributing to the future. In the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, in all 89 regions of Russia, including the reunified regions, we are bringing sections of roads leading to sites of military glory or named after heroes of the Great Patriotic War up to standard. To date, work has been completed on 176 sites—almost 550 km," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that a total of 218 such facilities, covering a total of 640 km, are planned to be renovated by 2025. He noted that an important goal of the project is to increase Russian citizens' awareness of the country's history and the heroism of the Soviet people.

"The project first launched in 2020. Then, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of Victory Day, several Russian regions proposed a nationwide patriotic campaign, "Victory Street." The initiative was supported and became one of the largest projects in the country: roadworks were completed at 400 sites in both small towns and large cities. Renovating these sites contributes to preserving the memory of the events of those years and the heroism of war heroes and home front workers," emphasized Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

It should be noted that during the war years, road workers also made an invaluable contribution to bringing Victory closer.

"During the difficult war years, every kilometer was crucial. Between 1941 and 1945, specialists restored more than 100,000 kilometers of transport arteries and maintained 359,000 kilometers of military roads. Today, we continue their legacy. Streets named in honor of the heroes and events of the Great Patriotic War don't just connect infrastructure; they connect generations," said Kairat Tursunbekov, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.

Thus, in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, approximately 49 km of roads leading to monuments and memorials dedicated to the events of those years were renovated in the Leningrad Region. Key sites include the access road to Krasnoye Selo, associated with the heroic deeds of machine gunner Alexander Tipanov, and the section of the Komsomolskoye-Priozersk road leading to the Antrea Memorial Park, the site of the bloody battles for the Karelian Isthmus.

In the Belgorod Region, over 50 kilometers of road network have been repaired as part of the "Victory Street" project. One of the projects is a section of the highway running along Gorovets Street, named after pilot Alexander Gorovets, who shot down nine German aircraft in a single battle.

In the Bryansk Region, special attention was paid to roads leading to memorials. For example, repairs were made to the road at the entrance to the village of Ivot, where a memorial consisting of the remains of a fighter jet with the names of the fallen pilots is located. Work was also carried out on Gorbatova Street, named after an army general, and on Moskovsky Prospekt, where the Tank Crew Monument is located.

In St. Petersburg, work was carried out on major thoroughfares linked to the city's military history. The renovated Moskovsky Prospekt leads to the Moscow Victory Park, Savushkina Street leads to the Military Pilots' Square, and the Morskaya Embankment leads to the Kirov cruiser monument. Energetikov Prospekt, leading to the memorial to the victims of the siege at Bolsheokhtinskoye Cemetery, was also renovated.

Between 2026 and 2028, more than 60 settlements in Yakutia will be equipped with fiber-optic communication lines for high-speed internet access. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order allocating 5.4 billion rubles for this purpose.

Document

Order No. 3330-r of November 18, 2025

It is expected that fiber-optic communication lines will be installed in eight settlements by 2026, 25 in 2027, and 28 in 2028. Funding for this will come from the universal service reserve, which is formed through contributions from telecom operators.

The implementation of this co-financing initiative will increase the availability of communications services for local residents and make digital services faster and more convenient for businesses.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the Government meeting, November 27, 2025

Commenting on the decision takenGovernment meeting on November 27Mikhail Mishustin noted that approximately 7,000 kilometers of fiber optic lines will be built in Yakutia. They will connect hard-to-reach and remote areas of the Arctic zone.

"High-speed internet will be available in 61 settlements across the republic, home to a total of approximately 50,000 people," the Prime Minister clarified.

According to him, the new infrastructure will allow homes and public facilities to connect to networks with data transfer speeds of at least 100 Mbps, compared to the current 10 Mbps. Furthermore, the launch of new lines will reduce tariffs.

In June 2025, the government approved a list of settlements to be provided with high-speed internet using contributions from telecom operators. Most of the settlements on this list are located in Yakutia.

The possibility of creating fiber-optic communication lines using the universal planning reserve for a number of populated areas is provided for by amendments to the Federal Law "On Communications," which were adopted in December 2024.

The work is being carried out as part of the federal project "Development of digital and information projects in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation," which is part of the state program "Information Society."

Service infrastructure for motorists continues to develop on Russia's highways. Systematic work is underway to create a network of modern multifunctional zones (MFZs). A new, comfortable MFZ has opened at the 77th km of the outer edge of the Central Ring Road (TsKAD), as announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"We are consistently improving the country's road and transport infrastructure. This improves connections between cities and regions, opening up new logistics routes, which directly impacts the quality of life for Russians and the country's economy. We are also paying special attention to developing roadside services. Modern multifunctional zones are now appearing along highways, providing a place to recharge during short and long-distance journeys. One such zone has opened at the 77th kilometer of the outer edge of the Central Ring Road (TsKAD) between the Yaroslavl Highway and the M-12 Vostok Highway. The new facility is equipped with everything necessary for drivers and passengers, including families with children. The multifunctional zone includes a modern gas station covering over 31,000 square meters, as well as parking spaces and lots," said Marat Khusnullin.

According to Vyacheslav Petushenko, Chairman of the Board of the state-owned company Avtodor, the decision to create the multifunctional zone was made to provide a high level of service to motorists and improve road safety, as driver fatigue is a key factor in the risk of road accidents.

"The new multifunctional zone (MFZ) is fully equipped for drivers of trucks, cars, and passengers. It's also perfect for traveling with small children: the building has a baby-changing station. Additionally, there are outdoor playgrounds for children and sports activities. It's important to note that the traffic flow for trucks and cars is separated, and separate pedestrian routes are created. We plan to further develop the MFZ area. A single service building will be built, along with other popular facilities," explained Vyacheslav Petushenko.

In Samara, excavation of a connecting tunnel has been completed as part of the construction of the new Teatralnaya metro station. The work was completed ahead of schedule, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The metro is the most reliable and fastest form of urban public transport, and one of the most effective tools for combating traffic congestion. Thanks to the infrastructure budget loan mechanism, which has become an effective stimulus for regional development, we are building new lines and stations in Samara, Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Nizhny Novgorod. Metro construction is also underway in St. Petersburg and Kazan. Moscow remains the flagship. The capital's experience, its best practices, and metro construction technologies are being actively adopted by the regions. Thus, the rapid pace of work at the Teatralnaya station in Samara allowed for the completion of the connecting tunnel ahead of schedule. The initial schedule was set for completion by the end of the year. Teatralnaya will be the final station of the city's first metro line. Once opened, it will connect Samara's city center with outlying districts, and the travel time from the initial to the final metro station will be less than 30 minutes. The arrival of the metro in Samara is truly a historic event. It is now crucial to maintain the momentum to complete this important project on schedule," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister expressed gratitude to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin for their support of Russia's construction projects. The Deputy Prime Minister also thanked everyone involved in the Samara metro construction project.

"Today's event is the result of the colossal work of hundreds of people: engineers, designers, and metro builders. Colleagues, you have once again proven your professionalism and ability to perform high-quality work," emphasized Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister also noted the positive dynamics in the development of transport infrastructure and housing construction in the Samara Region. Over the first 10 months of this year, 51.7% of regional roads were in good condition. The number of road fatalities has decreased by 4.3% compared to the same period last year. Systematic efforts to develop the road network are also contributing to active housing construction: 1.3 million square meters of housing were commissioned in the first 10 months.

"Today marks a significant event in the life of Samara: the completion of the tunnel at the Teatralnaya metro station. This is an important and long-awaited project for our residents. Work continues. The station will be completed and opened on schedule. I am grateful to the Russian Government, Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Shakirzyanovich Khusnullin, and the Moscow City Hall for their support. Of course, a huge thank you to all the construction workers for their hard work," said Samara Region Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev.

Completion of construction of the Teatralnaya metro station is scheduled for 2027.

The Ministry of Construction is the curator of the infrastructure loan program, and the public-law company "Territorial Development Fund" is responsible for project implementation.

Dear Marines of the Pacific Fleet! Dear veterans!

320 years ago, by decree of Peter the Great, a "regiment of naval soldiers" was created, marking the beginning of the history of one of the most combat-ready branches of the Russian army.

This is an important holiday for the Far East. The lives of many Far Easterners are inextricably linked with the navy. Pacific Fleet sailors earned lasting military glory, heroically displaying their skills in the defense of the Petropavlovsk port in the Crimean War, the defense of Port Arthur during the war with Japan, the liberation of Manchuria and Korea, the Kuril landing operation, and the most important battles of the Great Patriotic War.

Today, the Pacific Fleet's marines honorably continue the work of their predecessors, protecting the country's eastern borders and defending Russia's interests in a special military operation. Servicemen from the 40th Separate Krasnodar-Harbin, Twice Red Banner, and 155th Separate Guards Kursk, Orders of Zhukov and Suvorov, Marine Brigades of the Pacific Fleet are crushing Ukrainian Armed Forces groups, effectively destroying enemy personnel and equipment, bringing us closer to our shared Victory.

They fight with courage and bravery, unquestioningly carrying out combat missions, discouraging the enemy, and inspiring their comrades by their personal example. Twenty of them have become Heroes of Russia, including one twice Hero of Russia – the brilliant general and former Deputy Commander of the Russian Navy, Mikhail Evgenievich Gudkov. Where you are, there is Victory!

I sincerely congratulate the marines of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet on their anniversary. I wish them good health, prosperity, good luck, new victories, and a speedy return of peace to Russia!

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova attended the opening ceremony of the 17th All-Russian Blood Service Forum at the Rossiya National Center. The forum is organized by the Federal Medical and Biological Agency.

Tatyana Golikova emphasized that the forum has been gathering specialists for 17 years now, for whom the development of blood donation and services has become a lifelong passion.

"Over this period, thanks in part to the forum's ideas, a completely different culture has emerged in our country, the geography of donation has expanded, millions of citizens' trust in the system and its safety has grown, and the blood service has undergone significant development. New regulations for the procurement, storage, transportation, and clinical use of blood and its components have been in effect since September 1, 2025. They significantly improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of blood donation. Today, it is possible to trace the path of blood and its components from donor to recipient. This helps avoid errors, minimize risks, and promptly respond to emerging issues. This has been made possible in large part thanks to the coordinated work of specialists at the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, who have truly elevated the development of this service to new heights," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

The government is gradually modernizing the blood service infrastructure, including developing digitalization. In 2023, the modernization of blood service facilities in Crimea and Sevastopol was completed. This work began in 2024 in the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts. This will allow Russia's historical regions to be integrated into the federal blood service system with uniform standards of quality, safety, and organizational discipline.

"Of course, none of this would be possible without the people who save lives by donating their blood. Over the past five years, the number of donors in our country has increased by more than 30%. In early November, we passed the 2 million donations mark since the beginning of the year. Today, 80% of donors return to donate blood two or more times a year. And most importantly, the share of unpaid donors remains at 99%. This underscores the high level of social responsibility and compassion of our citizens," said Tatyana Golikova.

She noted and thanked the regions leading in donor activity growth: Moscow, the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, and Sverdlovsk Region.

One of the strategic areas is the development of the Federal Registry of Bone Marrow Donors, which began operating in 2023.

"The Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry is filling up ahead of schedule, and it currently contains information on nearly 507,000 donors—up from the 500,000 planned for the year. The registry's development significantly reduces the time it takes to find a donor and increases the chances of a successful transplant. This is a true lifesaver for patients with severe hematological pathologies. This is evidenced by the 21% increase in the number of allogeneic unrelated transplants in 2024 compared to 2023," said Tatyana Golikova.

She added that achieving these high figures is the result of targeted and systematic work with donors, conducted by the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia in conjunction with the regions.

In 2025, the all-Russian campaign "Donor Code. Defenders of the Fatherland" will be held to commemorate the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

A key part of the donor movement in 2025 was the "Flame of Life" charity relay, which spanned the entire country. The "Flame of Life" torch was carried through all regions, from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean. During the relay, 88,000 blood donations were made, and 7,500 new potential donors were added to the Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry.

"Dear friends, everything I've said is the result of the joint efforts of the government, the medical community, scientific institutions, and, most importantly, millions of concerned citizens. Our shared goal is to maintain the momentum," Tatyana Golikova concluded.

The Deputy Prime Minister also presented awards to the winners of the "Pulse of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia" competition in the categories of "Best Medical Team" and "Best Paramedic Team" – the team from the Volga District Medical Center of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia (Nizhny Novgorod) and the team from Clinical Hospital No. 172 of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia (Dimitrovgrad).

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko chaired the plenary session "The Energy of Science: From the Potential of Knowledge to Creating the Future" as part of the 5th Congress of Young Scientists. Scientists from across Russia presented key findings of their work.

Presidential Aide Andrei Fursenko read out a message of greeting from Russian President Vladimir Putin. "It is important to enhance the role of the scientific community in addressing Russia's strategic development challenges and strengthening national technological and industrial sovereignty. To achieve this, we must stimulate investment in the most promising research, enhance international dialogue and cooperation in this area, and, of course, facilitate the professional growth of talented young specialists as much as possible, expanding opportunities for their participation in long-term projects and programs," the head of state noted in his address.

"You can see that the Congress of Young Scientists was truly a success. Over the past five years, the number of participants has tripled, reaching 9,000. The Congress of Young Scientists is the largest event in our country after the SPIEF. Importantly, more than 40% of the delegates hold academic degrees. The most talented and ambitious minds in our country have gathered here," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He recalled that in the 20th century, the country's technological superiority was secured by two projects – nuclear and space. "This year marks the 80th anniversary of the nuclear industry. We see that a strong, sovereign scientific and technical base continues to be the key to our country's sustainable development. Today, we are focusing significant efforts on achieving technological leadership – a national goal set for us by the President of Russia," added Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, according to the Ministry of Economic Development, Russia's nominal GDP will reach 315 trillion rubles by 2030. Expenditure growth is expected to reach 2% of GDP, or more than 6 trillion rubles.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that, according to a survey of the corporate sector, the current ability of scientific organizations and universities to fulfill R&D orders while taking customer requirements into account is rated at 4.6 out of 10. Following a strategic session on the science development model, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin ordered the development of an action plan to build a comprehensive science management model.

The national technological leadership projects, launched in 2025, have become key instruments for achieving technological leadership. Each of them includes federal projects aimed at developing technologies and advancing personnel training. Two more national projects, "Space" and "Bioeconomics," will be launched in the new year.

"Young scientists are our main driver. We're banking on it. Friends, you're not only bursting with new ideas, but you also inspire everyone, including your mentors, who are amazed and delighted by your results. Many young researchers are already leading their own teams—for example, running youth laboratories," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

He noted that a network of eight unique megascience-class facilities is being created in Russia. Construction of one of them, the SKIF Center for Collective Use, is already nearing completion. "The Siberian Ring Photon Source in Novosibirsk will become the world's most powerful synchrotron radiation source," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the development of scientific cooperation is also facilitated by the mega-grant program transferred this year to the Russian Science Foundation, whose activities are actively expanding, including in applied research and development. In this area, the RSF is gradually conducting a preliminary selection of technology proposals from business customers. Due to the effectiveness of this approach, the RSF has been included in several national technological leadership projects.

The idea of involving businesses in developing scientific research topics was put forward several years ago by participants in the first cohort of the presidential management personnel reserve. This initiative was spearheaded by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Academy of Sciences.

Under the new "State Assignment 2.0" model, the Ministry of Education and Science compiles the needs of enterprises and, together with the Russian Academy of Sciences, formulates tasks for R&D contractors. Companies themselves act as qualified clients and participate in the selection of potential contractors to conduct research based on their requests.
