Housing remains a key element of the comprehensive development of Russian settlements within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". Today, the country has permits for the construction of housing with an area of 171.9 million square meters, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.

"At the meeting held on the eve of Builder's Day with the President, the results of the construction industry's work to create a comfortable living environment were discussed. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin noted the high pace of housing construction: since 2019, about 630 million square meters of housing have been commissioned. Today, the urban development potential is about 500 million square meters. This is a serious basis for the further development of the industry, so it is important to try to maintain the pace of work in the future. In addition, to date, the volume of housing under valid construction permits has reached 171.9 million square meters, which is 4% more than a year earlier. Such results were made possible largely due to the systematic work and the groundwork of previous years," said Marat Khusnullin.

The volume of housing according to construction permits issued in the first half of 2025 amounted to 17.9 million square meters of housing. Currently, 118.5 million square meters of housing are under construction, which is 3% higher than in the same period last year.

The next meeting of the government commission on the liquidation of the consequences of the sinking of the tankers Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 in the Kerch Strait was held in Moscow under the chairmanship of the Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin.

Specialists from the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Morresluzhba" have completed the work on removing the protruding parts of the hulls of the sunken fragments of the tankers "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239". The work was carried out using a combined method of underwater exothermic cutting and underwater hydraulic tools. The total length of the removed parts was 287 m.

The dismantling reduced the height of the ship hull structures and minimized the number of protruding elements of ship systems and deck equipment for subsequent installation of cofferdams. Three fragments of tankers are in a stable condition, the dismantled parts are placed on the decks of the sunken fragments and securely fastened. No oil leakage is observed. During the preparatory activities, roadstead equipment and dead anchors were also installed to securely fasten the cofferdams.

The large-scale assembly of metal structures of three cofferdams, each weighing approximately 1.5 thousand tons, is being completed at the Novorossiysk seaport.

The work of the diving group on searching and lifting fuel oil in the coastal zone of Anapa and Temryuk continues. The cumulative total collected is 1860 tons of oil-contaminated soil. The total number of diving group is 167 people.

Since the beginning of the work, 922 km of the coastline has been cleaned, including repeatedly. More than 180 thousand tons of contaminated sand and soil have been collected. Work on the disposal of contaminated soil continues.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov spoke about key indicators of domestic tourism: in the first six months of 2025, tourists made 41.4 million trips across Russia.

"From January to June, tourists made 41.4 million trips across Russia, which is almost 7% more than in the same period last year. The development of domestic tourism is facilitated by the measures of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality". Regions are developing infrastructure and creating new tourism products. This contributes to achieving the goal set by President Vladimir Putin: by 2030, to ensure that tourism accounts for 5% of the country's GDP and 140 million tourist trips," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that, thanks to the Government, positive dynamics have been maintained for the fifth year.

After the decline caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the number of tourist trips is steadily growing: 2021 – 66.5 million (40% more than in 2020), 2022 – 73.1 million (almost 10% more than in 2021), 2023 – 83.6 million (14% more than in 2022), 2024 – 90 million (almost 8% more than in 2023).

Last year, 2024, became a record year for the number of tourist trips in Russia – then their number increased by 37% compared to 2021.

Traditionally, the leaders in the number of tourist trips were Moscow (6 million), Krasnodar Krai (4.4 million) and St. Petersburg (3.3 million). The top also included Moscow Oblast (2.7 million), the Republic of Tatarstan (1.4 million), the Republic of Crimea (1.1 million) and Sverdlovsk Oblast (1 million).

The regions that have shown the greatest growth are those that are actively developing tourism infrastructure and promoting their unique offers. The Republic of Kalmykia (81.7%) was the absolute leader in terms of growth rates, followed by the Republic of Adygea (79.1%) and the Karachay-Cherkess Republic (75.6%). Also among the regions with high rates are the Tver Region (58.8%), the Jewish Autonomous Region (48%) and the Ulyanovsk Region (44.8%).

"It is especially pleasing that in addition to traditional tourist centers, the popularity of less popular destinations is also growing. This indicates that our efforts to diversify the tourism market are yielding results. For example, the Siberian Federal District showed growth of 14.5%, the Northwestern Federal District by 9%, and the Far Eastern Federal District by 7.3%. This confirms that tourists are increasingly discovering new routes," commented Maxim Reshetnikov.

Forecasts for 2025 remain optimistic: if the dynamics continue, the number of tourist trips around the country may again become a record. The authorities will continue to support the development of infrastructure and the promotion of regions to make travel around Russia even more comfortable and interesting.

Speech by Mikhail Mishustin:

Dear Sadyr Nurgozhoevich!

Traditionally, Kyrgyzstan brilliantly organized all the events in connection with the holding of the meeting of the EAEU Intergovernmental Council today. Thank you also for organizing my official state visit.

I would like to convey to you and all participants of the meeting the best wishes from the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

Over the past 10 years, the Eurasian Economic Union has proven its importance and relevance. It is very important that each member of the union feels the benefit of integration.

Visit

You have given impressive figures on the growth of the Kyrgyz economy. I would like to wish Kyrgyzstan prosperity with all my heart.

Our trade cooperation is expanding. Of course, such results have been achieved, among other things, thanks to the implementation of the Strategic Directions for the Development of Eurasian Economic Integration.

My colleagues and I have already begun to develop a “road map” necessary for the implementation of the “Eurasian Economic Path” declaration, which all heads of our states have approved.

Once again, thank you very much. I hope that we will agree on all decisions today at the meeting of the intergovernmental council in an expanded format.

From the transcript:

M. Mishustin: Greetings, dear Mr. Aref!

First of all, I would like to ask you to convey the best wishes to the President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian from the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. And of course, from me personally.

Relations between Russia and Iran are based on the principles of friendship, good neighborliness, mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests. During the visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Moscow in January of this year, a new basic Treaty between Russia and Iran on a comprehensive strategic partnership was signed. The task of our governments is to ensure systematic work on the implementation of the agreements that were reached at the highest level.

Russian-Iranian trade and economic cooperation is developing successfully. In May, the Free Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Iran, which was signed on December 25, 2023, came into force. Its implementation will contribute to the growth of mutual trade turnover and the promotion of joint economic projects. We are talking about industry, energy, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and other areas.

Visit

In terms of developing transport logistics, we are actively working together to develop the international corridor "North – South". This strategic highway will ensure the connectivity of the entire Eurasian region.

We are, without a doubt, sincerely interested in developing cultural and humanitarian ties. Let me remind you that more than 9 thousand Iranian students study at Russian universities. In June, a Russian cultural festival was held in Tehran and Isfahan. The flow of tourists is increasing. Joint humanitarian and educational initiatives help our citizens to get to know the rich history of both countries better.

Dear Mr. Aref, the floor is yours.

The fifth season of the Summer University project has ended.

The fifth season of the Summer University project, a key platform for global academic and cultural exchange, has ended. This year, more than 1,200 people from 44 countries took part in the project. This was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He emphasized that the project is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Russia in the World” and the national project “Youth and Children”.

"The Summer University has been successfully implemented since 2021. During this time, it has proven its effectiveness as a tool for scientific and educational diplomacy. This year alone, more than 1.2 thousand people from 44 countries took part in the project, and over 5 thousand in total. The Summer University provides foreign students with the opportunity to get acquainted with the achievements of Russian science and the advantages of studying in our country. The initiative meets the strategic goal of increasing the number of foreign students in domestic universities, set by Russian President Vladimir Putin," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

As the head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, noted, the project is being implemented with the participation of major companies such as Rosatom, Rusal and Uralmashzavod.

"As part of the Summer University, specialists from leading companies conduct master classes for students and consult with them on how to build a professional development trajectory. Each project participant has the opportunity to personally evaluate the modern educational programs of our universities: this year, seminars and lectures in five areas were available to them – humanitarian, engineering, economics, IT and social sciences," the minister said.

Three leading Russian universities – Kazan Federal University, Siberian Federal University and Ural Federal University – were responsible for the admission of foreign students. In addition, 13 partner universities from different regions of Russia joined the project, helping to implement various educational programs.

In the project work, multinational teams of students developed solutions for the real sector of the economy. A total of 152 projects were developed and defended.

The fifth season also included a rich cultural and educational program – visits to exhibitions and theaters, sports events, industrial tours and familiarization with the infrastructure of Russian universities.

In a number of regions, road works under the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network" of the national project "Infrastructure for Life" have reached the equator. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"In recent years, roads in Russia have been renovated at an accelerated pace. International corridors, expressways, regional and municipal roads are being built, connecting people and accelerating the country's development. The national project "Infrastructure for Life" is responsible for the comprehensive renovation of the road network. Since the beginning of the current road season, the laying of the upper layers of road surfaces in 50 regions of the country under the national project has been completed by more than 50%. The largest volume of work – more than 80% – has been completed in six subjects of the Russian Federation: Sevastopol, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Penza, Voronezh regions and the Republic of Mari El," said Marat Khusnullin.

In 2025, in accordance with all road activity programs, in order to achieve the indicators of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, it is planned to repair, reconstruct and build more than 21.1 thousand km of regional and local roads.

"High-quality modern road surfaces are essential for traffic safety and increased comfort for drivers and pedestrians. In 2025, it is planned to renew 152.5 million square meters of asphalt concrete pavement on regional and local roads. To date, about 66 million square meters of top layers of pavement have been installed," said Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin.

Achieving these results was made possible by significant federal support.

"Financing of road activities is an important tool for ensuring sustainable development of transport infrastructure, improving the quality of life of the population and stimulating economic growth in the regions. Thus, this year, over 601 billion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of the activities of the federal project "Regional and Local Road Network", of which about 337 billion rubles are federal budget funds," emphasized Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency Igor Kostyuchenko.

Thus, in the Penza region, as of the beginning of August 2025, the activities for the installation of asphalt concrete pavement at the national project sites have been completed by 94% of the planned volume. This is 216.2 km of the road network, of which 58.6 km have already been put into operation. In particular, the reconstruction of the bridge over the Shuksha River has been completed, a 6-kilometer section of the Shemysheika – Naskaftym – Novy Machim highway has been repaired, and a section of the Poim – Bashmakovo – Zemetchino highway (7.1 km) has been put into operation. The road is part of the backbone network of the Penza region and connects the Belinsky, Bashmakovsky and Zemetchinsky districts.

The volume of work completed on laying the upper layers of road surfaces in the Mari El Republic has reached 87.4%, which is 533.7 thousand square meters out of the planned 610 thousand square meters. Road works have been completed on one of the longest sites in the region, the Vizim'yary-Yuksary highway. The road leads to socially significant facilities, including the Vizim'yary and Yuksary schools, the district hospital and FAP, as well as kindergartens. In addition, the highway provides access to the federal highway R-177 "Povetluzh'ye". The entire volume of work has been completed on three sites of the street and road network of Yoshkar-Ola: two sections along Leninsky Prospekt and a section on Druzhby Street have been repaired.

In the Kemerovo Region – Kuzbass, 70 km of roads are planned to be repaired under the national project this year. Work has been completed at six sites, with three sections on the regional highways Tomsk – Mariinsk, Altai – Kuzbass, Anzhero-Sudzhensk – Yaya already commissioned. A section of the Tomsk – Mariinsk highway located in the village of Tyumenevo has also been overhauled. In the village of Verkh-Taymenka, on a 10-kilometer section of the regional highway Novosibirsk – Leninsk-Kuznetsky – Kemerovo – Yurga, specialists have updated the road surface, arranged sidewalks and installed 8 bus stops.
