Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting to discuss the progress of the federal project "Forest Conservation" within the national project "Environmental Well-Being." The event was attended by senior officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Federal Forestry Agency, and other relevant agencies.

Dmitry Patrushev reported that more than 71 billion rubles have been allocated for the current federal project by 2030, which is more than 70% more than the funding for this area in the previous national project.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that reforestation has shown a steady positive trend since 2021: more forests are being added than are being lost. In addition to maintaining this positive balance, the new federal project places emphasis on improving the quality of reforestation. These measures include the reconstruction of existing and the creation of new state-owned forest shelterbelts around certain major industrial centers. Work is currently underway to expand the list of areas where reforestation is most needed.

Fundamentally new areas have also emerged. For example, research is being conducted to create a database of genetic and breeding data for forest-forming tree species. This will increase the resilience of forest stands, including to diseases and pests.

A reserve seed stock is being created to support reforestation. For the first time, the federal project includes the restoration of existing forest nurseries and the creation of new ones.

One of the project's key goals is to ensure effective forest fire prevention. Significant funds are allocated annually from the federal budget for this purpose. As part of the federal project, a forest fire center was established in the Zabaikalsky Krai this year. By 2030, more than 1,700 units of specialized equipment for forest fire suppression will be purchased.

The federal project "Forest Conservation" aims to achieve the national goal of "Environmental Well-being." The federal project aims to preserve and enhance the country's forests to create comfortable and safe living conditions, as well as to maintain and develop the economic potential of the forestry sector.

Marat Khusnullin launched construction of the Northern Bypass of Omsk via videoconference. With Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin

Construction of the northern bypass around Omsk has begun in the Omsk region. A ceremony was held at the site of the future bridge across the Irtysh River, where the symbolic first pile was driven.

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin launched the construction via videoconference. Also participating in the event were Minister of Transport Andrei Nikitin, Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Siberian Federal District Anatoly Seryshev, and Omsk Region Governor Vitaly Khotsenko.

"Following the President's instructions, we continue to build city bypasses. These sections provide opportunities for suburban development, relieve populated areas of transit traffic, and contribute to improved environmental conditions within cities. In Omsk, construction has begun on a northern bypass, approximately 66 km long, with two bridges across the Irtysh and Om rivers. This new transport artery will forever change the logistics map of the entire Siberian Federal District, open up new opportunities for the region, and accelerate the integration of our territories into global transport corridors. Moreover, the bypass will continue the extensive work to create the "Russia" route with connections to China, Mongolia, and North Korea and will provide additional impetus to economic growth eastward. Our country has vast resources, and the implementation of such major projects allows us to unlock this full potential and strengthen the national economy," noted Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the bypass's construction will reduce transit traffic along the Tyumen-Novosibirsk route by more than 20 km, spur investment and construction activity, and increase industrial and residential construction in the northern and eastern parts of the city's agglomeration.

The bypass will become a priority transport route for residents of the special economic zone and planned transport and logistics zones, as well as residents of prospective high-rise and low-rise residential developments in Omsk.

"The construction of the northern bypass around Omsk is a significant project for Russia's transportation system. Nearly 66 kilometers of road will directly connect federal highways to Tyumen and Novosibirsk. This will reduce transit traffic by more than 20 kilometers, reducing congestion in Omsk. The federal budget has allocated over 27 billion rubles for this project from 2026 to 2030," noted Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin.

The Minister of Transport also added that the phased construction will allow traffic to open on the first section, including the bridge across the Irtysh River, as early as 2028, and the entire project to be fully completed by 2030. "I am confident that the coordinated efforts of the Omsk Region government, the concessionaire, and the general contractor will ensure that all work is completed on schedule and to a high standard," Andrey Nikitin emphasized.

Omsk Region Governor Vitaly Khotsenko announced that the new bypass will connect two federal highways and provide modern road infrastructure that meets high safety and comfort standards.

"The Northern Bypass is the largest project in recent decades in the Omsk Region. It's nearly 66 kilometers of modern highway with five interchanges and two bridges, including a new bridge across the Irtysh River. The bypass will relieve congestion on the city's highways, make the air in Omsk cleaner, and make life more comfortable and safe for Omsk residents. Importantly, it's not just a road project, but also a catalyst for the development of the entire northern part of the agglomeration, new industries, housing construction, and investment," said Vitaly Khotsenko.

The road will have four lanes and a design speed of 120 km/h. The project will include bridges over the Irtysh and Om rivers, 1,277 and 176 meters long, 19 overpasses, five interchanges, and rest areas. Funding will come from the federal budget, extra-budgetary sources, and bank investments.

The Northern Bypass of Omsk is part of the strategic plan for the development of Russia's transport system until 2030 and will be part of an international transport corridor connecting Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

In Russia, the development of the Migom biometric boarding service is nearing completion. Its testing with a limited group of users is planned for 2026. Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko assessed the technical solution during a working visit to the Leningrad Region.

"Russians have already used biometric services over 150 million times. Using biometrics, citizens quickly and conveniently pay for purchases and metro fares, and receive services online and at multifunctional centers. We see demand for this technology, and our goal is to create all the conditions for its secure and widespread use. We are currently finalizing the development of a biometric boarding service. This will greatly simplify all pre-flight procedures. Passengers will not need to present documents when checking in for domestic flights, entering the "clean zone," or at the boarding gate," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Migom boarding service is implemented using the state-owned unified biometric system. To use it, you must register your information in advance and authorize the use of biometrics during boarding.

Pulkovo Airport will serve as a pilot site for testing the biometric boarding service. A demonstration of the barrier-free user experience took place on October 3, attended by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko, VEB.RF Chairman Igor Shuvalov, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov, and Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko.

The biometric access system for business lounges is now operational, and biometric payment is available. The necessary equipment for testing the service's full functionality has also been installed and configured.

It was noted that a number of legislative amendments are planned to implement the project. Biometrics will be used as an alternative to passports during pre-flight procedures. Passengers will always be able to choose how to board—using biometrics or an ID card.

Pulkovo Airport's infrastructure was previously modernized with the support of the state-owned corporation VEB.RF.

More than 8,000 borrowers who failed to complete their homes within the 12-month deadline have returned to preferential mortgage rates. This was made possible by a government decision extending the deadline for completing private home construction without a contractor from 12 to 24 months, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"For families building a home on their own using a preferential mortgage, a long-awaited support measure has been adopted, making the program terms more convenient and flexible. The key change is the extension of the construction and title deed period from 12 to 24 months. This has led to an extension of the preferential rate, which is one of the most popular measures among citizens. We see that people are increasingly attracted to living in their own home, and our goal is to support them in this choice. Borrowers now have not one, but two years to complete their home, significantly facilitating their desire to own a home. Thanks to this government decision, more than 8,000 families who have already completed construction have been able to return to preferential terms on their loans," said Marat Khusnullin.

Before the changes came into effect, if a house wasn't built and registered within 12 months, the preferential mortgage rate was replaced with the market rate. The decision to extend the term to 24 months was made in response to numerous citizen requests.

This innovation isn't the only one this year. For example, as of March 1, the reform of the individual housing construction (IHC) market for private homes began using the protective mechanism of escrow accounts when applying for mortgages under government-supported programs.
