"The Russian Abilympics movement is rapidly developing, uniting all regions of the country. Over the past 10 years, the championship has become one of the most significant events in the field of inclusive vocational education, expanding its mission. As President Vladimir Putin noted, people who have chosen to serve the Fatherland, according to their preparation and desire, should take certain positions in various areas and directions. Abilympics provides such an opportunity to the participants of the SVO: 79 people from 37 regions have become winners and will take part in the final of the national championship in Moscow this fall," emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

I would like to thank the head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Nurgalievich Minnikhanov. Once again, we have become convinced that all of us, no matter what region we are from, what nationality we are, what faith we profess, are part of the great Russian victorious people."

And events such as the Abilympics championship motivate the heroes of the special operation.

"The competitions that have just finished set the bar very high. It is important that our veterans were able to demonstrate their skills here and get an overview of the professions in which they will be able to realize themselves in the future. For us, this is doubly pleasant, we understand that we are going in the right direction – we are doing what our veterans demand," said Anna Tsivileva.

Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov stated that the region tried to create the most comfortable conditions for holding such a large-scale event, and expressed confidence that the championship has a great future and the number of participants will grow every year.

The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation signed the Resolution prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on changing the requirements for the list of minimum necessary services provided at road service facilities. From March 1, 2026, at filling stations (AZS) in the right-of-way of highways, it must be possible to use DC charging stations with a capacity of at least 44 kW for electric vehicles.

The changes will affect petrol stations located on public roads of federal, regional, inter-municipal and local significance. The resolution supplements the list of minimum necessary services provided at road service facilities, and also regulates the minimum necessary requirements for the capacity of electric vehicle chargers.

"Over the past three years, there has been a threefold increase in the number of electric vehicles in the country. At the moment, more than 67 thousand "electric trains" have already been registered. Their operation is largely limited to city streets, where the density of electric charging stations is significantly higher than on highways. One of our implemented initiatives was the adjustment of requirements for filling stations in the right-of-way of public roads. Fast charging stations with a capacity of at least 44 kW will appear at new filling stations. This will generally increase the mobility of electric vehicles, the speed of their movement over long distances, and reduce the time required to charge an electric vehicle," commented Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Mikhail Kaminsky.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the implementation of the activities of the federal project “Production of Innovative Transport”, which is part of the new national project “Industrial Support of Transport Mobility”.

Financial news: Complaints against insurers have decreased, against banks – have increased: results of the first half of 2025

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

For six months of 2025 complaints The number of complaints to the Bank of Russia from consumers of financial services and investors increased by 18.6% compared to the same period last year. A total of 182.4 thousand complaints were received.

At the same time, quarterly dynamics show a decrease in the number of complaints: in April-June of this year, it decreased by almost 7% compared to January-March.

Complaints about banks increased by 28.6%. Claims are most often related to blocking transactions, accounts and bank cards, as well as suspension of remote banking services. Banks are taking such measures to combat financial fraud.

At the same time, consumers complained almost twice as rarely about the imposition of additional services when taking out a loan.

The number of complaints against insurers has decreased by 47%. Thanks to the fact that citizens can independently clarify the value of the bonus-malus coefficient and challenge it through the website of the National Insurance Information System, template complaints have practically ceased to arrive: 80 against 10.4 thousand for the first half of 2024.

The number of complaints about microfinance organizations has increased slightly. The 3.6% increase is due to difficulties in returning funds for additional services and in obtaining credit holidays. There are fewer complaints related to new cases of imposition of additional services and credit histories.

The situation with claims against professional participants in the securities market developed in a similar way – they decreased by 19%. The smallest number of complaints related to sanctions restrictions were received against brokers (a 3.2-fold decrease) and depositories (a 2.5-fold decrease).

Complaints about non-state pension funds (NPF) increased by 17.7%. The reason is the growth of claims regarding the execution of long-term savings agreements. However, in absolute figures, there are few such complaints: 193 for more than 5.6 million concluded agreements. Complaints about disagreement with the transition from the Social Fund of Russia to NPF, as well as between NPFs, decreased by 40.3%.

What innovations are available to VTB Online users?

tracking of any receipts and expenses, including transfers and cash withdrawals; control of balance dynamics; analysis of expenses by individual brands; the ability to group transactions into your own categories.

“The key innovation is the creation of personal categories that allow you to group expenses and immediately see what amounts were spent, including by transferring funds,” VTB Bank noted.

To create your own spending group, you need to select any operation and specify the category name, as well as set the color for a visual display of expenses. The function will be useful for people who want to competently analyze and effectively plan their budget.

How do customers of other banks track transactions?

The advanced functionality for tracking receipts and expenses is a unique solution in the industry. Competitors offer budget analytics using standard tools:

Sber allows you to track transactions by category, it is possible to move transactions to other groups without the ability to create your own subgroups;
T-bank also allows you to change the category of expenses, but only within the framework of a ready-made set;
Alfa-Bank allows you to change the expense category and add a transaction if the payment was made in cash.

VTB Bank offers its clients a wide range of tools for filtering and grouping transactions. Another useful feature is the availability of tips that will help increase cashback depending on the user's payment behavior.

NEW YORK, July 29 (Xinhua) — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday raised its forecast for global economic growth in 2025 to 3 percent, up 0.2 percentage points from its April forecast, according to an updated version of the IMF's World Economic Outlook report.

According to the updated report, emerging market and developing economies are expected to grow by 4.1 percent in 2025, up 0.4 percentage points from the April forecast.

For countries with developed economies, the forecast has been revised upward from 1.4 percent to 1.5 percent.

In particular, expected economic growth figures have been raised for the US, the Eurozone, Japan, the UK, Canada, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.

As noted in the document, the large-scale upward revision of the annual forecast is due to “a more active than expected advance increase in imports in anticipation of higher customs duties; lower average tariff rates in the United States than were announced in April; improved financial conditions, including due to the weakening of the US dollar; and the expansion of fiscal stimulus measures in a number of major countries.” –0–
