Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko congratulated the All-Russian public movement "Victory Volunteers" on its 10th anniversary.

He emphasized the close connection between the organization's history and the anniversaries of the Great Victory. The initiative to create the movement was supported by President Vladimir Putin in 2015 based on the work of the All-Russian Volunteer Corps for the 70th Anniversary of Victory. Now, in the Year of Defender of the Fatherland, declared by the head of state, it is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The movement already unites more than 1.2 million volunteers from 89 Russian regions and 60 countries.

"Our President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of the work of the Victory Volunteers. The movement's volunteers not only help preserve historical memory and uphold the traditions and spiritual values of our people, but also contribute to helping the heroes—those fighting today in the Northern Military District. During the special military operation, the Victory Volunteers helped more than 17,000 mobilized personnel and their families, and answered more than 65,000 calls with requests. I wish the Victory Volunteers movement continued success in its work for the benefit of our country and its citizens, creating new ideas and bringing them to life, and I wish each volunteer the support of like-minded people and the gratitude of those around them," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

Currently, the movement is the largest volunteer organization dedicated to civic and patriotic education and the preservation of historical memory. "Victory Volunteers" operates in six main areas: "My Victory," "My History," "Great Victory," "Connecting Generations," "Media Victory," and "Our Victories."

Volunteers help organize and support significant national and international events, such as the "Victory Letter," "St. George's Ribbon," and the International Cleanup Day. Every year, volunteers improve over 30,000 memorial sites.

Furthermore, representatives of the Victory Volunteers movement across the country conduct educational events involving special operation participants, collaborate with concerned citizens in writing letters to the front lines, collecting humanitarian aid, and participating in humanitarian missions to border regions. Volunteers from the movement regularly visit special military operation soldiers in hospitals.

The Victory Volunteers movement also acted as the operator of the International Volunteer Corps of the 80th Anniversary of Victory, supporting events commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War and World War II. For this purpose, volunteer training centers were established in Russia and abroad. In addition to volunteer training, these centers host themed events such as days of united action, educational activities, and motivational events.

The National Center "Russia" hosted a thematic session, "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects. Construction," during which Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin presented key projects under the national goal of "A Comfortable and Safe Living Environment."

"The Spatial Development Strategy of Russia to 2030, with a forecast to 2036, defines the foundations of the country's growth and the principles of territorial development. Its main goal is to create a unified, balanced system linking all regions and communities. To ensure a comprehensive approach to this work, the national project "Infrastructure for Life" was approved. It covers all infrastructure necessary for a comfortable life for citizens. Significant work has already been accomplished, but much remains to be done. 2,160 support points have been identified. These include not only urban agglomerations and administrative centers, but also small towns and rural communities. Priority areas have been identified, which will be used to evaluate improvements in the quality of life. This era of change has demonstrated our ability to quickly adapt to change, so we will continue to confidently move toward our goals as a well-coordinated team," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

According to Marat Khusnullin, a key element of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project is the development of housing construction. By 2030, the plan is to renew the housing stock by a third, constructing 663 million square meters of new housing and achieving a national average of 0.82 square meters per person. By 2025, the plan is to commission over 100 million square meters of housing.

Development of the core road network—the busiest and most socially significant routes—continues. Key transport corridors are being developed, including the "Russia" route, the Europe-Western China route, and the "North-South" route, which includes the Azov Ring Road.

Implementing the socioeconomic development program for the reunited regions is also a priority. Since 2022, construction and reconstruction of nearly 24,000 facilities has been completed. Two to three dozen new social, utility, and infrastructure facilities are being commissioned weekly.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted the extensive work being done to implement projects in education and culture. The country's largest world-class cultural clusters are being created in four cities—Vladivostok, Kemerovo, Kaliningrad, and Sevastopol. A number of projects have already been completed. For example, a new building for the Museum of the World Ocean, "Planet Ocean," has opened in Kaliningrad; the restoration of the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory building in St. Petersburg has been completed; and last year, the new building of the Tretyakov Gallery on Kadashevskaya Embankment opened in Moscow.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev took part in an extended joint meeting of three relevant State Duma committees. The event was held in preparation for a government hour on the topic of "Development of modern production and advanced processing technologies in the agro-industrial complex as the basis for Russia's food security and food accessibility for the population."

The meeting was attended by the chairs of the State Duma Committees on Agriculture, Vladimir Kashin; Control, Oleg Morozov; Industry and Trade, Vladimir Gutenev; the heads of the Ministry of Agriculture, Oksana Lut; and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov; the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Maxim Shaskolsky; and representatives of Rosselkhoznadzor, the Federal Agency for Fisheries, and the Accounts Chamber.

Participants discussed issues of supplying the domestic market with products, implementing the national project "Technological Support for Food Security," improving the regulatory framework for the industry, and developing rural areas.

The event also reviewed the current situation in the agricultural sector, including the progress of the harvest campaign. To date, Russian farmers have harvested 137 million tons of grain in bunker weight, nearly 10 million tons higher than last year. Other crops are also expected to see relatively strong results, with some expected to reach record levels.

The situation remains normal in the livestock farming, finished goods production and fisheries sectors.

Dmitry Patrushev thanked the parliament for their special attention to the priority areas of work in the agro-industrial complex. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the draft federal budget for a three-year period is currently under discussion. Following the first reading, over 540 billion rubles have been allocated for the agro-industrial complex for 2026. This will ensure the preservation of support instruments and the continued stable development of the industry.
