Vladimir Putin made a speech at the 13th Congress of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia. Key statements by the President:

🔹Every quarter, unemployment in Russia sets a new record low: the current 2.4 percent rate is maintained for the third consecutive month and is the lowest in comparison to other major economies of the world.

🔹Russia's economy is undergoing a structural transformation, becoming more complex and developing sectors with high added value and skilled jobs.

🔹The Russian economy must become a high wage economy, since this is the key to increasing production efficiency, modernizing companies, ensuring a deep renewal of industries by providing a modern technological foundation, and creating high quality jobs.

🔹It is crucial to increase productivity, ensure automation, and provide new equipment and technologies for the domestic manufacturing, agriculture, and service sectors, while also developing infrastructure and logistics. To do that, Russia already possesses policies for supporting business and developing its territories, and these policies will be fine-tuned on a regular basis.

🔹One of the most important tasks is to train qualified personnel who will work in new, modern production facilities. As part of the Professionalitet federal projects, about a million workers will be trained for Russia's light industries, pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding, aircraft industry, production of machine tools and electronic components, and many other sectors.

🔹By 2030, the country's existing engineering schools will be supplemented with at least fifty newly-created advanced educational institutions provided with state-of-the-art learning and laboratory equipment.

Vladimir Putin launched a training exercise of Russia's Strategic Deterrence Forces

I would like to emphasise that Russia reaffirms its principled stance that the use of nuclear weapons constitutes an extreme, exceptional measure for ensuring state security. That said, we fully recognise that the nuclear triad remains a solid pillar of our country's sovereignty and security. It enables us to achieve strategic deterrence objectives and uphold nuclear parity and the balance of power globally, which are key factors underpinning global stability.

The President addressed the plenary session of the 3rd National Healthcare Congress. Key points:

🔸Over the past five years, over 1.7 trillion rubles were spent on implementing healthcare-focused federal projects. Thanks to this, Russia is both solving current issues and achieving breakthroughs.

🔸The share of domestically produced pharmaceuticals and medical equipment is on the rise, with the industry's technological sovereignty strengthened. Russia intends to continue increasing the sustainability and independence of its healthcare system.

🔸One of Russia's main goals for the coming years is increasing life expectancy and reducing the disparity in this regard between various regions. The average life expectancy in the country is to reach 78 years.

🔸Over the next six years, more than a trillion rubles will be spent on building, renovating, and equipping healthcare facilities. Particular attention will be paid to improving primary care, which is the busiest component of the healthcare system.

🔸The primary care modernisation has already affected one in three medical facilities in the country. Over 140,000 medical equipment units have been acquired for rural medical centres, clinics, and district- and city-level hospitals.

🔸Supporting medical science and technology will unconditionally be among Russia's top priorities. A new, much-needed field will be explored for the first time: Russia will expand the infrastructure for nuclear medicine, which offers opportunities for ensuring more accurate diagnostics.

🔸In 2025, a new, more equitable remuneration policy for public sector employees, including medical workers, will be put to the test in a number of pilot regions. In early 2027, this policy is to be extended to all public sector employees across the Russian Federation.
