Access to high-quality and timely medical care is directly linked to the creation of a modern healthcare infrastructure. In the reunified regions, the construction and renovation of medical facilities for both adults and children is progressing according to industry-specific programs established through 2030. For example, in Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, specialists are constructing a multidisciplinary pediatric center. Construction and installation work in the infectious diseases building has now been completed and is ready for subsequent equipment installation, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The Donbas and Novorossiya socioeconomic development program includes measures to establish a modern healthcare system. To this end, healthcare facilities are being built and renovated to create a comfortable environment for patient accommodation and treatment, as well as for medical staff. In Melitopol, two buildings of a multidisciplinary pediatric medical center are being constructed to simultaneously serve approximately 350 young residents of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. Construction of the five-story, 13,000-square-meter building for the future infectious diseases department has been completed and is ready for the installation of medical equipment. Work on the future seven-story pediatric building is also nearing completion—70% complete," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the work is being carried out under the supervision of the "Single Customer in Construction" public corporation. Over 600 doctors and specialists from 15 different specialties will provide inpatient emergency and scheduled medical care to children and treat them for infectious diseases at the future pediatric center.

"In the infectious diseases building, monolithic and masonry work, roofing and utility installation, and façade and interior finishing have been completed. The seven-story pediatric building, with an area of approximately 25,000 square meters, will house the admissions and inpatient departments, as well as intensive care and surgical units, day care, radiation diagnostics, hematology, and neurotraumatology departments," added Karen Oganesyan, CEO of Unified Customer.

The Presidium of the Government Commission on Regional Development, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, approved projects to modernize public utility infrastructure in the Novosibirsk Region and the Republic of Tatarstan. These projects are being implemented under a program that utilizes preferential loans from the National Welfare Fund.

"The program's goal is to ensure the reliable operation of housing and utilities facilities. Furthermore, it is an effective tool for attracting extra-budgetary funds to the sector. Overall, under this program, which launched in 2022, more than 1,300 kilometers of utility networks and 260 site facilities have been commissioned in the regions, improving the quality of utilities for millions of Russians. Two more projects have now been approved for modernizing utility infrastructure in the areas of heat and water supply in the Novosibirsk Region and the Republic of Tatarstan. Their implementation will improve the quality of services for 47,000 residents of both regions," noted Marat Khusnullin.

The operator of this program, implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction of Russia, is the Territorial Development Fund.

"According to the Novosibirsk Region project, a boiler plant with a capacity of 83.4 Gcal/hour will be built in Iskitim, along with a 1.5-kilometer section of the main heating network pipeline in the Yuzhny microdistrict. The project will ensure reliable heat supply to consumers in the city's Yuzhny and Podgorny microdistricts. The facilities are scheduled to be commissioned in 2027. The Republic of Tatarstan project calls for the construction of a water pumping station with a capacity of 13,950 cubic meters per day and 13.8-kilometer main water supply networks for the Military Town No. 32 and Eco-District areas in Kazan's Kirovsky District by the end of 2026," said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

A total of 2.59 billion rubles will be allocated from the National Welfare Fund for the implementation of these projects, including 1.2 billion rubles to the Novosibirsk Region and 1.39 billion rubles to the Republic of Tatarstan.

In total, to date, the Presidium of the Government Commission on Regional Development has approved 253 housing and utilities modernization projects using funds from the National Welfare Fund in 76 regions.

Since the beginning of 2025, thanks to the implementation of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project, more than 3 million Russian families have been able to improve their housing conditions. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"At a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, the President noted that the key areas of our joint efforts are related to increasing the birth rate and supporting families with children. High-quality housing is also the foundation for improving people's well-being and strengthening families. The national project 'Infrastructure for Life,' which launched in early 2025, aims to create a comfortable environment and a new quality of infrastructure, with modern housing at its core. We are working across the board: increasing construction volumes, relocating people from dilapidated housing, and implementing infrastructure development projects. This work is bearing fruit: since the beginning of 2025, more than 3 million families have improved their housing conditions. This is a significant achievement, but we still have much work ahead, and we cannot slow down the momentum we have achieved," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, despite the challenges, the construction industry is demonstrating strong momentum. The total volume of housing commissioned over the past 10 months amounts to 83.6 million square meters. This work makes a practical contribution to achieving the strategic goal of increasing the average housing supply to 33 square meters per person by 2030.

"The industry has built a foundation for future periods. Currently, the volume of housing under construction in the country stands at over 120 million square meters, with permits in place for 173.2 million square meters. Urban development potential, including current construction permits, exceeds 474 million square meters. Nonresidential real estate commissioning has increased by 12% compared to the same period last year, reaching 29.4 million square meters," said Deputy Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Nikita Stasishin.

Mortgages remain the primary means of improving housing conditions. Currently, over 80% of loans are issued under state-supported programs, such as family, Far Eastern and Arctic, rural, IT, and subsidized mortgages in the reunified regions. Since their inception, more than 3.8 million families have been able to purchase new housing. This year, approximately 430,000 citizens have improved their housing conditions with the help of such loans. Support is also available for families with many children. Since 2019, more than 830,000 such families have received payments of 450,000 rubles toward mortgage repayments.

The government has decided to extend pilot projects to transition to digital utility bills and electronic document management for gas equipment maintenance until the end of 2026. The corresponding decrees have been signed. These projects have been implemented in the Moscow region since last year and have already proven their effectiveness.

The "Single Payment Document" project has enabled residents of the Moscow Region to eliminate the need for paper utility bills. Citizens can receive single payment documents through their personal accounts on the regional government services portal. To date, over 53,000 residents of the Moscow Region have used this option, and the extension of the project will gradually increase the proportion of citizens using digital payment documents.

Residents who prefer to receive documents in a traditional format can continue to use paper receipts. The transition to digital services is voluntary, preserving the ability to choose the most convenient method of interacting with government and commercial organizations.

The region is also implementing a project to introduce electronic document management between citizens and the gas distribution company. Specifically, the regional portal already offers six services through which people can sign contracts for gas equipment maintenance, order meter verification, equipment repair or replacement, and other services. Furthermore, citizens no longer need to provide any documents to sign such contracts (previously, at least seven were required), and the time required to complete them has been reduced by an average of 20 minutes. Currently, approximately 50% of all service requests are processed electronically. At the request of residents, two more services are planned to be added to the pilot program: gas equipment disconnection and gas meter installation or replacement, as well as the ability to sign completion certificates with a simple electronic signature.

"The Moscow Region's pilot projects have proven their effectiveness. First and foremost, they eliminate duplication of data and paper documents, and also make services more flexible and user-friendly. With further development, these approaches can be scaled up nationwide. In fact, this is why the decision was made to extend them until 2026," said Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

By the end of 2025, 2 billion rubles will be allocated for the construction of the world-class "Arctic Star" student cluster in Arkhangelsk. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order.

The funds will be allocated to the Arkhangelsk Region budget in the form of an interbudget transfer on a co-financing basis.

According to the project, the total area of the campus buildings will be over 125,000 square meters. The campus will consist of several multi-story research and educational blocks, including classrooms, laboratories, and other spaces for applied research. It will be able to accommodate approximately 300 students at a time.

The campus will also include a conference center, a fitness and wellness complex, two hotel buildings, a clinic, a coworking area, and other public spaces. Completion is scheduled for 2028.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at a meeting with deputy prime ministers, December 8, 2025

Commenting on the decision at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on December 8, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the Arctic Star campus will focus on key areas of life and activity in the Russian Arctic zone, including shipbuilding, the development of shipping along the Northern Sea Route, and the development of natural resources.

"It's important to note that the activities of such sites are closely linked to the industry focus of the region where they are located, based on the needs of its businesses. This issue was discussed in detail during the presentation of the inter-university campus in the Omsk Region, which we visited," the Prime Minister emphasized.

According to Mikhail Mishustin, the program to create a world-class campus network in Russia was launched four years ago at the President's initiative. To date, 29 campuses have been commissioned, and four more will be launched by the end of the year.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Creating a Network of Modern Campuses," which is part of the national project "Youth and Children."

Order No. 3568-r of December 2, 2025

By the end of 2025, 382.3 million rubles will be allocated for the comprehensive development of the Novorossiysk transport hub. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the corresponding order.

Budgetary investments allocated from the Government's reserve fund will, in particular, allow for the accelerated construction of the B receiving and dispatching railway yard at Novorossiysk station, the continuation of the reconstruction of the section between the Kirillovsky checkpoint and Park B, and the completion of the reconstruction of the Gaiduk traction substation.

In addition, using the allocated funds, the reconstruction of the first main track will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In September 2025, the Novorossiysk Transport Hub development project was included in the comprehensive state program "Construction," which made it possible to attract federal budget funds for its implementation.

In total, approximately 50 km of new railway track is planned for construction. This will eliminate bottlenecks in the approaches to seaports in southern Russia, which in turn will improve the speed of cargo delivery.

As Mikhail Mishustin reported at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on December 8, nearly 70 billion rubles have been allocated for such purposes by 2030.

"We will continue to develop new logistics routes and increase highway capacity to ensure reliable product deliveries and enable people to travel quickly and easily across the country," the Prime Minister emphasized.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project "Development of the core railway network", which is part of the new national project "Efficient transport system".

Marat Khusnullin made a working visit to the Luhansk People's Republic.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin conducted a working visit to the Luhansk People's Republic. In Severodonetsk, he inspected facilities, including a restored dental clinic, and at meetings in the regional capital, he summarized the LPR's socioeconomic development over the past year.

"The main goal of my visit to Severodonetsk is to expedite the resolution of the complex heat supply issue. Not all networks are ready to supply heat. Measures have been taken, and specialists will be working around the clock. As the operational task is completed, more homes with heating radiators should be added. We have two weeks for this. Otherwise, road repairs and home restoration are progressing well in Severodonetsk, and we have approved plans for 2026 to continue this work. Some social and cultural facilities have also been restored, and others are planned for 2026-2027," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

During his inspection of the restored facilities, the Deputy Prime Minister visited a dental clinic, which will begin accepting visitors from across the Severodonetsk agglomeration by the end of the year.

"The clinic is designed to accommodate approximately 250 patients per day—importantly, including children. We need to increase the medical staff to handle this volume and all areas of care. Everything has been fully restored and renovated under the supervision of the Single Customer; all that remains is the installation of the equipment," said Marat Khusnullin.

At meetings in Luhansk, he summarized the year's results for the republic's socio-economic development and discussed issues of industry and agriculture with those gathered.

"The Luhansk People's Republic has become a consistent leader in cash flow and program implementation. I thank the head of the region, Leonid Ivanovich Pasechnik, and his team for this work. However, there is still room for improvement. The main issue we discussed today was economic planning, which is how we can achieve growth. Without this, it will be difficult to reach the Russian average. We agreed with representatives of the federal Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Chairman of the LPR Government, Yegor Viktorovich Kovalchuk, to develop a unified economic development plan. It is important to focus on attracting investment, creating jobs, and increasing the tax base. I believe all the prerequisites are in place: a developed industrial base, free economic zone incentives, and support measures," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

He added that 188 industrial enterprises have been launched in the LPR to date, providing jobs for over 16,000 people. Thirty-one large food and processing enterprises are developing in the region's agricultural sector.

"We listened to the investors. I noted that they are participants in the SEZ, benefit from preferential loans under the Fund for Development Programs, produce import-substituting products, have expanded their sales geography, and are ready to further expand their capacity and markets. We will support them!" the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov held a regular meeting on assistance to the Kursk Region. The event was attended by the heads of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov; the Ministry of Economic Development, Maxim Reshetnikov; the Ministry of Labor, Anton Kotyakov; Kursk Region Governor, Alexander Khinshtein; and representatives of the Ministry of Construction and other ministries.

Over the past two years, federal budget funds allocated to Kursk Oblast for assistance have totaled over 220 billion rubles. Of this, approximately 190 billion rubles have been allocated for targeted support measures for residents of the affected areas: one-time financial assistance, compensation for property loss and health damage, and housing certificates.

According to the First Deputy Prime Minister, work to restore the Kursk region's economy is now on schedule, allowing for the reallocation of resources from temporary solutions to systemic mechanisms.

"First and foremost, this concerns monthly financial assistance payments of 65,000 rubles to the region's residents. This was in place until the liberation of the Kursk Region and was extended in May at the governor's request. Since the beginning of the year, over 82 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget for these purposes. The government has decided to make the December payment and then use the funds for other regional life support measures," said Denis Manturov.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the need to continue issuing housing certificates, taking into account citizens' rights to use them in other districts of the region or regions of Russia, and also issued a number of instructions for additional support for residents of the Kursk region:

Develop funding for the repair of housing that was not directly damaged by the Ukrainian Armed Forces but was abandoned for security reasons and became unusable due to weather conditions. This support measure will be promptly reviewed by the Russian Ministry of Finance and launched next year;

to legally regulate the issue of issuing housing certificates to owners of shared property;

Consider allocating funds from the federal budget to compensate residents of the region for the loss of vehicles as a result of the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"I would like to emphasize that all the instructions given by the President have been fulfilled or are in the process of being implemented. Everyone has a roof over their heads, even those who are currently unable to physically return to their permanent place of residence for safety reasons. They are either able to rent housing, or we are placing them in temporary accommodation centers, while, of course, increasing the issuance of certificates," the Kursk Region Governor emphasized.

Special attention was given to the restoration of affected businesses. Aid totaling 2.2 billion rubles has already been provided to 19 agricultural companies. Denis Manturov noted that agricultural support is being closely monitored by the relevant ministries.

"As for industrial facilities, the primary mechanism here is loans and grants from the regional Development Fund. 2.4 billion rubles have been allocated from the federal budget to its capital. And payments to Kursk Region enterprises are already being made. It's important to deliver all planned tranches to recipients by the end of the year," the First Deputy Prime Minister stated. He added that an additional 2 billion rubles have been allocated by the end of the year from the Ministry of Economic Development to support more than 150 small and medium-sized businesses.

Denis Manturov supported the Ministry of Finance's initiative to extend the deferral of tax and insurance premium payments for businesses in the Kursk region's border region for another 12 months, which will free up some of their working capital to support their ongoing operations.

Work to restore the socio-economic potential of the Kursk region is being carried out within the framework of the program for the restoration and development of border regions approved by order of the President.

"Under the first stage, through 2027, the federal budget has allocated 38.2 billion rubles for the region. These funds are already being allocated, allowing us to focus on three key objectives: ensuring security, restoring social and infrastructure facilities, and supporting the Kursk Region's economy. Work in all areas is proceeding according to the approved schedule," noted Denis Manturov.

Order No. 3621-r of December 5, 2025

By the end of 2025, over 1.5 billion rubles will be allocated to implement sustainable development programs for energy and housing and utilities companies in Dagestan, Ingushetia, and North Ossetia. A corresponding order has been signed.

Funds from the Government's reserve fund are being allocated on a co-financing basis. These funds will enable the three regions to continue implementing programmatic measures, including the consolidation of regional housing and utilities assets. This work is being carried out by unified operators established in each region.

Furthermore, the programs include measures to attract qualified specialists to the industry. Work is also underway to establish economically justified tariffs. These tariffs typically differ from those previously in effect, so during the transition period, the federal government helps the regions compensate consumers for the price difference.

The implementation of pilot programs for the sustainable development of energy and housing and utilities companies in Dagestan, Ingushetia, and North Ossetia began in 2022. The need to continue this work is reflected in the instructions given by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin following a meeting of the Government Commission for the Development of the North Caucasus Federal District, which took place on May 27, 2025, in Mineralnye Vody.

The issue was considered atGovernment meeting on December 4.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko met with Omar bin Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for AI, Digital Economy, and Remote Working Applications of the United Arab Emirates. The meeting, held in Dubai, focused on developing the Russia-UAE partnership in artificial intelligence. The parties exchanged experiences in developing and implementing AI solutions and discussed approaches to technology development and common challenges.

Dmitry Grigorenko presented a report on AI implementation priorities in Russia. He noted that Russia and the UAE have largely aligned approaches in this area. For example, Russia, like the UAE, emphasizes the development and scaling of its own sovereign AI technologies. To this end, a Center of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence was opened in Dubai in November. It is developing large-scale Arabic language models, decision-making systems, and an AI cyberdefense tool. Russia is also pursuing the replication of the best domestic AI solutions. This function is performed by the Center for Artificial Intelligence Development under the Government of the Russian Federation, which has become a key unified coordination and analytical hub. In less than six months, the center's experts have collected and analyzed more than 300 AI solutions being implemented across the country. Following the evaluation, more than 180 AI solutions proved their effectiveness and were posted on the open portal "Digital Region," which serves as a showcase for Russian AI solutions and facilitates their replication.

As noted during the meeting, both Russia and the UAE are focusing primarily on economic efficiency and the analysis of specific metrics when implementing AI. In this regard, their approaches also overlap: both countries have moved from experimental testing of the technology to rational implementation based on an assessment of its practical and economic benefits.

Dmitry Grigorenko and Omar bin Sultan Al-Olama exchanged views on best practices for AI implementation. Urban environment monitoring systems, dubbed "Smart City" in Russia, have demonstrated the greatest success in implementation. In both countries, the technology is used to improve quality of life, for example, by assessing road quality and street cleanliness, identifying faults, monitoring safety, and helping to identify troublemakers. Among the AI solutions demonstrating the greatest effectiveness, the parties also noted AI-based systems for the oil and gas industry. These are used to accelerate geological exploration, help optimize drilling, and reduce economic costs.

Another topic of discussion was common challenges in the development and implementation of artificial intelligence. The parties agreed that the most pressing issues remain the need to create infrastructure and sufficient capacity, develop high-quality datasets for AI training, and train highly qualified personnel. Russia and the UAE expressed their readiness to actively exchange experiences.

"Russia and the United Arab Emirates have many areas for strengthening our partnership, and exchanging experience in AI implementation is one such area. Russia, like the UAE, is focusing on developing its own 'homegrown' AI solutions. This is important for strengthening each country's technological sovereignty. And an active exchange of experience and best practices will accelerate both sides' efforts to address AI development challenges," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov also participated in the meeting as part of the Russian delegation. He shared his experience implementing AI solutions in regional governance and outlined the key impacts.
