First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov attended a ceremony handing over 125 units of equipment to military personnel. The Niva and UAZ SUVs, as well as KamAZ, Sobol, and UAZ (Bukhanka) trucks, and Chaborz buggies will be sent to the front, where they are currently in high demand.

In accordance with the Russian President's directive, the Government is allocating the necessary funds, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade is organizing the procurement and donation of equipment to meet the needs of the special military operation. These deliveries, supported by the People's Front, have been ongoing for three years now, and during this time, military personnel have received over 7,000 vehicles.

"We continue to implement the task set by the President and are delivering another batch of vehicles to the troops. Units in five military districts will receive these models, which are in high demand at the front, used for transporting troops, delivering ammunition, rotating assault teams, and evacuating the wounded. Clearly, this is only a small part of what the government and volunteers are doing for the front. But for those who heroically defend the interests of the country, no matter what, every support is crucial. Therefore, we will continue to find ways to further expand this support," said Denis Manturov.

The People's Front equipped the donated vehicles with additional individual kits for the soldiers. Each car and buggy was equipped with night vision goggles, Kevlar vests, Bulat drone detection devices, drone backpacks, nutrition bars, thermal mugs, and power banks.

"Once again, we are handing over equipment to our soldiers on the hospitable soil of Rostov. We have 125 all-terrain vehicles here, including Nivas and UAZs in various configurations. There are also ambulances, buggies, several KamAZ trucks, and the star of the UAZ constellation (the "Bukhanka"), all equipped with anti-fragmentation blankets. Vehicles with such protection are particularly effective in evacuating the wounded. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude for this ongoing support from the Government of the Russian Federation," said Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the People's Front Executive Committee.

The People's Regiments donated 10 camouflage kits for trucks, 58 garage-canopies for passenger vehicles, and four for heavy trucks to the troops. In addition, the troops received 74 sets of 3D-printed items, 199 retort bags, 36 sun protection sleeves for drone operators, 75 urban camouflage nets designed to look like garbage, and four Leshy (Leshy) suits in the same color scheme.

"The Rostov Region has remained a strong support base since the start of the special military operation. The regional government and residents have already delivered nearly 9,000 tons of aid and equipment to the front lines. These figures represent lives saved, missions accomplished, and support for our soldiers who are steadfastly fighting on the front lines," noted Rostov Region Governor Yuri Slyusar.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on preparedness to ensure the safety of the 2026 flood and fire season. The event was held at the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations' situation center. All relevant federal agencies participated—the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, Roshydromet, Rostekhnadzor, Rosprirodnadzor, Rosvodresursy, and Rosleskhoz—as well as the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Thanks to this format of cooperation, significant consequences of adverse natural events were avoided last year.

"Last year, the area burned by fire was reduced by almost half. The Russian government allocated approximately 20 billion rubles for forest fire prevention and control in 2025. This funding included the creation of a forest fire center in the Far East and the upgrading of the equipment of units in the regions most prone to fires. This year, funding for related activities has been increased by another 7 billion rubles. Specifically, there are plans to establish 11 new air units and strengthen 40 existing ones," said Dmitry Patrushev.

This year, the procurement of video cameras will continue, which will improve the speed of wildfire detection. Forest firefighting equipment will be updated, including for new regions. Additional funds for forest fire prevention and control will be provided to 19 regions. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized to the meeting participants that all measures must be carried out efficiently and before the onset of the fire season.

Roshydromet has been tasked with preparing a comprehensive wildfire forecast. Rosleskhoz is tasked with inspecting all regions for the season's preparedness, paying particular attention to the condition of equipment and the staffing levels of units, as well as forest fire prevention measures. Ground and air patrols must also be monitored regularly.

Ivan Sovetnikov, head of the Federal Forestry Agency, spoke about joint preparations with the regions for the fire season. He noted that increased federal funding will, among other things, allow for the hiring of over a thousand new employees.

Dmitry Patrushev recalled that, in accordance with the Presidential Decree, the goal is to halve the area of forest fires by 2030. Furthermore, this year, almost 85% of fires must be extinguished within 24 hours of detection. Last year, not all regions met this requirement.

The leaders of the most fire-prone regions of the Russian Federation briefed the Deputy Prime Minister on their efforts to protect populated areas from wildfires, organize firefighting efforts in hard-to-reach areas, and prevent agricultural fires. Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the importance of regions informing local governments about fire safety requirements in populated areas prone to wildfires. Furthermore, it is necessary to inspect social infrastructure, energy, transportation, and agricultural land bordering forested areas to ensure preventative measures are in place.

The Russian Ministry of Natural Resources has been instructed to pay special attention to ensuring fire safety in specially protected natural areas.

At the end of the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev emphasized the importance of high-quality interagency cooperation. This can be organized through exercises and unscheduled inspections conducted by the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. Furthermore, headquarters have been established at the federal level and in each region to prevent and respond to potential emergencies. The experience of the district headquarters in the central part of the country has proven its effectiveness and will continue to function. The Deputy Prime Minister also recommended establishing similar headquarters in each federal district.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on preparedness to ensure the safety of the 2026 flood and fire season. The event was held at the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations' situation center. All relevant federal agencies participated—the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, Roshydromet, Rostekhnadzor, Rosprirodnadzor, Rosvodresursy, and Rosleskhoz—as well as the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This format of cooperation helped prevent significant consequences from adverse natural events last year.

According to preliminary estimates from Roshydromet, precipitation has already exceeded normal levels across most of the country. Moreover, sharp temperature fluctuations are possible in the European part of Russia in late February and March, which could lead to dangerously high water levels. Furthermore, challenging conditions are expected in the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts.

"In 2025, 34 hydraulic engineering and protective structures were built and repaired. This year, the Russian government has allocated approximately 9 billion rubles for this area of work, as well as for the cleanup of water bodies, which is a billion rubles more than last year's funding," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The Deputy Prime Minister announced that work on a number of major projects is expected to be completed by 2026. These include dams in Khabarovsk Krai and the Jewish Autonomous Region. Furthermore, starting this year, reservoir operating modes will be regulated through a new module in the Rosvodresursy information system.

Dmitry Kirillov, Head of the Federal Water Resources Agency, spoke about joint work with the regions to prepare reservoirs for the safe passage of floods and implement planned preventative measures. This work takes into account the climatic and geographical characteristics of the regions. Thus, reservoirs in southern Russia, including new territories, have completed their flood control tasks and are now filling. Reservoirs in central Russia will be ready by early April, and those in the Arctic, Siberia, and the Far East will be ready by May.

Dmitry Patrushev noted that Rostekhnadzor, together with regional and federal agencies, must continue monitoring the condition of hydraulic structures. Particular attention will be paid to abandoned structures.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that all preventative measures must be implemented in a timely manner to ensure effective work during the season. Roshydromet, in turn, must regularly provide agencies and regions with high-quality and comprehensive forecasts, particularly regarding flood development. Furthermore, Dmitry Patrushev instructed that the opening of additional hydrological observation posts be considered to increase monitoring coverage.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has been tasked with overseeing the implementation of planned and preventive measures by the Federal Agency for Water Resources. This includes, in particular, reservoir management, transboundary cooperation, and flood control measures in particularly hazardous areas.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that each responsible agency and all Russian regions must develop an action plan for various flood scenarios.

Following a meeting of the Government Commission on Improving the Efficiency of Federal Property Use and Territorial Development, DOM.RF received management of an additional 37 hectares of land and over 47,000 square meters of buildings and structures in 14 regions of Russia. This was announced by Marat Khusnullin, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of DOM.RF.

"The transfer of inefficiently used federal assets to DOM.RF is a consistent step toward integrating them into economic circulation. Our goal is to create the conditions for the implementation of specific, in-demand projects, whether housing, social facilities, production, or other initiatives important to the regions. This work is carried out transparently, through public tenders, which ensures fair competition. Thus, by decision of the Government Commission for Improving the Efficiency of Federal Property Use and Territorial Development, DOM.RF received an additional 37 hectares of land and over 47,000 square meters of real estate for management. It is important that every decision of the commission contributes to the development of the regions within the framework of the national project 'Infrastructure for Life,'" said Marat Khusnullin.

Following completion of the necessary preparatory procedures, these assets will be offered to investors for the placement and construction of various facilities. The transferred territories include land plots for residential construction with a total area of 4.3 hectares in the Tyva Republic, Stavropol Krai, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and Moscow Oblast. These plots have the potential to accommodate 36,000 square meters of housing. The largest housing project is planned for Stavropol Krai, where 14,800 square meters of housing are planned for construction on a 1.28-hectare plot.

The new asset portfolio places particular emphasis on cultural heritage sites. Among the lots up for auction are two historic buildings: a house in Irkutsk built in 1890, associated with Anton Chekhov, who stayed there on his way to Sakhalin, and the Benkovskys' house (last quarter of the 19th century) in Kursk. Investors who commit to restoring these buildings will be able to take advantage of preferential financing for restoration and modernization under a program operated by DOM.RF. This will help preserve these unique architectural monuments while adapting them for modern use.

"Working together with the Russian Government allows us to renew entire cities and territories. This results not only in an improved urban environment and the emergence of new neighborhoods, but also in expanded opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses, especially in smaller towns and other populated areas," noted Denis Filippov, Deputy General Director of DOM.RF.

Residential complex in the Chuvash Republic.

In the Volga Federal District, which comprises 14 regions, infrastructure development continues with the use of infrastructure budget loans (IBK), special treasury loans (STL), and treasury infrastructure loans (TIL). These financial support mechanisms help create and upgrade utilities, social infrastructure, road infrastructure, transport infrastructure, and tourism infrastructure, which drives overall regional development.

"Over the years, the infrastructure loan program has become extremely popular in our country's regions. The allocated funds support the construction and renovation of facilities vital to residents, as well as the development of territories. For example, projects implemented in the Volga Federal District since 2021 have contributed to the commissioning of 8.8 million square meters of housing, the attraction of approximately 534 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investment, and the creation of 32,200 jobs. The largest volume of housing commissioned thanks to infrastructure loans was in the Republic of Tatarstan (4.6 million square meters), the Penza Region (1.15 million square meters), and the Perm Krai (816,000 square meters)," said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

According to First Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Alexander Lomakin, a total of 447 projects and events are planned to be completed in the Volga Federal District using funds from the IBC, SKK, and KIK.

"Since 2021, 154 projects and activities have been completed. These include the Tolyatti bypass with a bridge crossing over the Volga River as part of the Europe-Western China international transport route, the Alekseyevskoye-Almetyevsk road in the Republic of Tatarstan, and the first phase of construction of the Stolypin Industrial Park in the Saratov Region, including the creation of the necessary engineering infrastructure and the construction of the road with sidewalks. Furthermore, the delivery of new public transport has been fully completed—the regions have received 1,469 buses thanks to the SCC," noted Alexander Lomakin.

Implementation of projects financed by infrastructure loans continues – approximately 300 projects and activities are underway in the Volga Federal District, including the construction of the main sewage pumping station in Neftekamsk in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Vasily Kupyzin, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund, noted that the Volga Federal District's government commission on regional development also approved treasury infrastructure loans totaling 63.09 billion rubles in 2025.

"Under the housing and utilities caps, 45.03 billion rubles have been distributed among the constituent entities of the Volga Federal District for 214 projects and activities. Moreover, six utility infrastructure projects have already been commissioned in the Penza Region. Another 21.7 billion rubles have been approved for 31 projects through the KIK tender. In accordance with the instructions of the President of Russia, 1.4 billion rubles have been approved for the purchase of public transport," said Vasily Kupyzin.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order approving the Far East Demographic Policy Strategy for the period up to 2030 and for the period up to 2036.

Document

Order No. 170-r of February 2, 2026

The new strategy, developed as a follow-up to a similar document in effect until 2025, defines the key mechanisms of state demographic policy in the Far Eastern regions. It was developed taking into account the geostrategic significance of the macroregion, its spatial, natural, climatic, and socioeconomic characteristics, as well as the current demographic situation.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, February 9, 2026

The strategy aims to achieve demographic stability in the Far East by improving the standard and quality of life, ensuring the accelerated socio-demographic development of the macro-region, increasing the birth rate, improving the system of support for families with children, facilitating the successful reconciliation of professional and family life, fostering a healthy lifestyle culture, and creating conditions for attracting students and qualified specialists.

The document contains a number of specific measures aimed at achieving the set objectives.

Thus, to ensure accelerated socio-demographic development, it is proposed to maintain the competitive advantages of preferential regimes for attracting investment and entrepreneurship, continue housing construction support programs, including those tailored to the needs of families with children, improve transport connectivity, and implement urban master plans, rural development programs, and improvement projects that create a new look for communities and a comfortable living environment. It is also proposed to expand programs for environmental and fire safety, as well as monitoring and forecasting natural hazards.

To increase the birth rate, additional support measures for large families are planned, as well as a targeted approach to providing additional support to families with special needs, including single-parent families, adoptive families, and families with disabilities of a parent or child. Subsidized mortgage programs and the Far Eastern demographic package, which includes a one-time payment for the birth of a first child and additional regional maternity capital for the birth of a second child, will also continue to be implemented.

To ensure young parents can successfully combine family and professional fulfillment, efforts to develop preschool education will continue, including major renovations and the construction of new kindergartens. Social support measures for families with children will be expanded, including through the development of social services for daycare for children up to three years old and extended-day groups in elementary schools. Support mechanisms for student families and the families of young academics will be developed.

As part of the program dedicated to improving public health and fostering a healthy lifestyle, it is proposed to increase access to medical care for residents of remote and hard-to-reach areas, modernize health centers, women's clinics, perinatal centers, children's clinics, and hospitals, ensure greater access to medications and medical products on preferential terms for people with cardiovascular and endocrine diseases and neoplasms, and increase staffing levels in medical organizations.

To create conditions conducive to attracting students and qualified specialists to the Far East, we plan to facilitate the opening of branches of leading Russian and international universities in the federal district, create the necessary infrastructure for the study and recreation of students and young scientists, and, in conjunction with employers, launch mechanisms to encourage the employment of young specialists at Far Eastern enterprises, including through relocation and settlement allowances and the provision of rental housing. We also plan to develop programs that allow students to visit the Far East and gain work experience there.

In addition, the strategy proposes to improve the effectiveness of the "Zemsky Doctor," "Zemsky Paramedic," "Zemsky Teacher," and "Zemsky Cultural Worker" programs and extend their terms to other categories of specialists in demand in the macro-region.

The primary mechanism for implementing the strategy will be a comprehensive action plan, which the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East will develop and submit to the Government within the next three months.

Commenting on the decision takenmeeting with deputy prime ministers on February 9Mikhail Mishustin noted that, as a result of extensive work in the Far Eastern Federal District, it has been possible to ensure accelerated growth rates in key economic and social sectors. The birth rate there has exceeded the Russian average.

"Certainly, we need to achieve sustainable momentum in this area. The main goal is to have at least 7.86 million people living in the Far East regions within the next 10 years," the Prime Minister emphasized.

Small and medium-sized businesses in the North Caucasus Federal District increased their financing volume in 2025 to 42.6 billion rubles using the National Guarantee System (NGS), operated by the SME Corporation. This represents a 7% increase compared to the previous year.

Support and development of SMEs in the North Caucasus Federal District is being implemented within the framework of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy," which is overseen by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

"The North Caucasus is a priority area for government support. Small and medium-sized businesses in the region remain a key focus, as they provide a significant share of jobs and contribute to the development of a wide range of economic sectors. Government support instruments enable local entrepreneurs to increase their funding, including for investment projects to develop production, launch new facilities, and increase output. In 2025, small and medium-sized businesses in the North Caucasus Federal District received 16.3 billion rubles for these purposes under the National Guarantee System, an 80% increase from the previous year," stated Alexander Novak.

Among the sectors in which businesses in the North Caucasus Federal District attracted funding under the NGS in 2025, the largest increases over the year were in scientific and technical activities (4.8 times), education (2.4 times), culture and sports (2.1 times), and infrastructure construction (1.8 times). In business services, the volume of attracted funding increased by 60%, in transportation and storage by 27%, and in consumer services by 26%.

The leaders in terms of the volume of funding attracted through state support among the regions of the North Caucasus were Stavropol Krai (16.8 billion rubles), the Republic of Dagestan (6.89 billion rubles), the Chechen Republic (5.33 billion rubles), the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (4.41 billion rubles), and the Republic of Ingushetia (3.61 billion rubles).

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko summarized the results of government department digitalization for 2025. A total of 61 IT programs were implemented, one for each ministry and agency. Thanks to digital transformation programs, even more services in Russia are being provided digitally, and the quality of data-driven management decisions is improving. Last year, emphasis was also placed on the implementation of artificial intelligence technology in government departments and on enhancing the security of information systems. Overall, approximately 90% of the stated digitalization benefits were achieved in 2025. All of these programs were included in the new IT expenditure register.

"Last year, we changed the rules for managing funds allocated for digitalization. We don't allocate funds unless the impact of digitalization is explained and proven. As a result, we linked all digital funds not simply to IT solutions and activities, but to specific impacts. Using the IT registry, we can see not only expenses but also results," Dmitry Grigorenko commented on the new approach to government digitalization.

The results and effects of departmental digital transformation programs include the following.

Rosobrnadzor, together with the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Education, launched an online university admissions service on the Gosuslugi website. During the 2025 admissions campaign, over 2 million applicants used the service (submitting over 5.6 million applications). 1,172 universities and research organizations, as well as 566 of their branches and 819 organizations implementing secondary vocational education programs at universities, are connected to the service. A number of updates have been planned for 2026 (for example, universities will be able to distribute admissions targets based on their target talent needs (automated verification)).

Rosvodresursy has launched an online monitoring service for the operating modes of 355 reservoirs. Over 200 parameters (reservoir inflow, reservoir discharge, and others) are already being automatically analyzed. Data is received daily electronically from regional authorities. Previously, monitoring was carried out manually: indicators were calculated using formulas, deviations were identified, and the data were sent to the central office. The service allows for quick identification of reservoirs at high risk (those with significant deviations) and allows for timely management decisions.

In 2025, Rosreestr launched six new map-based services and began implementing AI technologies that will automatically identify unregistered real estate and speed up cadastral valuation. Important work was carried out to modernize Rosreestr's information security system. Software components for information security using artificial intelligence were implemented, reducing the response time to cyber incidents from 30 minutes to 1 minute.

The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media continued to develop the government services portal. In 2025, nearly a thousand new services were added, bringing the total to over 2,600 federal and regional services. 120 million people are registered with Gosuslugi, with a daily audience of 14 million. Online services can be obtained on the portal within a minute to 72 hours. Many services have become proactive. For example, the maternity capital certificate is delivered this way: it appears in the mother's personal account as soon as the child's birth is registered. Gosuslugi's digital assistant, "Robot Max," also helps save time when accessing services; over 30 services already work in dialogue mode with it.

The Ministry of Natural Resources has implemented an AI-based analysis module for waste accumulation sites, which is expected to result in savings of at least a quarter of a billion rubles.

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak made a working visit to the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

The Deputy Prime Minister held a bilateral meeting with the head of the region, Sergei Menyailo, to discuss the region's socio-economic development.

As part of his working visit, Alexander Novak visited the Republican Water Utility, where he inspected the facility's grounds, updated production facilities, and its fleet of specialized equipment, which numbers over 160 units. He also spoke with employees and learned in detail about the work of its divisions.

The Deputy Prime Minister also assessed the work of the Mamison ski resort and held a meeting there dedicated to increasing labor productivity in the country's tourism industry.

A pilot program to improve labor productivity in the Russian tourism sector was presented at a meeting attended by the heads of the North Caucasus regions, representatives of the Ministry of Economic Development, industry agencies, and the management of Kavkaz.RF. The program will be implemented by the industry competence center (ICC) for tourism established within Kavkaz.RF.

"The President has set an ambitious goal of increasing the country's labor productivity growth rate. Given the labor shortage, this is a key factor in improving efficiency and reallocating labor to high-productivity sectors. Tourism has significant potential for such a leap," emphasized Alexander Novak.

He noted that the proposed draft program for increasing labor productivity will become a practical tool for achieving this goal once approved. "The draft prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development will soon be reviewed by the Government. Our shared goal for the next six years is to implement modern technologies and best practices in companies to guarantee improved service quality for Russian and foreign tourists," added Alexander Novak.

One mechanism for improving operational efficiency is packaged solutions—developed algorithms for changing the most routine and critical processes in the industry. Another mechanism is targeted support for lagging industries. Here, experts will primarily focus on sanatoriums and amusement parks, where, according to research, labor productivity is lowest and ready-made solutions are lacking due to the specific characteristics of each facility. Implementation of the entire program's set of measures will increase labor productivity by 28.6% by 2030 compared to 2023 levels.
