Vladimir Putin held the final meeting with the current Government

As per Article 116 of the Russian Constitution, the cabinet of ministers disclaims duties in front of the President-elect.

Vladimir Putin thanked Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and the ministers for their efficient work that led the country through the Covid-19 pandemic and helped it withstand the foreign economic aggression launched against Russia in 2022.

The numerous sanctions had one primary goal <…> of destroying Russia from within, politically and especially economically. The sanctions were to create problems in work teams, cause mass unemployment in the country, and shut down companies and entire industries. Our opponents failed completely. In fact, they achieved the opposite outcome. Last year, the Russian economy grew faster than the global economy.

A new cabinet will be formed soon. The President expressed hope that the executive bodies would continue uninterrupted during this period, and the new team would keep working towards the national development goals, including the launch of new national projects and federal programmes.

The President of Russia laid out an extensive list of items related to various aspects of life in Russia:

🔹Equipment and combat readiness of the Russian Armed Forces

The combat capabilities of the Armed Forces have expanded their combat capabilities many-fold. Our units have seized the initiative and will not surrender it. They are confidently advancing in a number of operational directions, and liberating more territories.

🔹Support measures for special military operation veterans and participants and their families

🔹International cooperation

The United States and its satellites have, in fact, discarded the European security system, which has created risks for everyone. Clearly, a new equal and indivisible security framework must be created in Eurasia in the foreseeable future. We are ready for a substantive discussion on this subject with all countries and associations that may be interested in it.

🔹Events held as part of the Year of the Family in Russia

🔹Increasing the life expectancy of Russians, including by developing healthcare and sports infrastructure

🔹Youth support programmes

🔹The economy and investment

Russia is Europe's largest economy in terms of gross domestic product and purchasing power parity, and the world’s fifth largest economy.

🔹Development of professional and vocational education

🔹Personnel training and increasing labour productivity

🔹Science and technology

Today, no country has a range of mega-science class scientific installations like Russia. This means unique capabilities both for our scientists and our partners, researchers from other countries, whom we invite to cooperate.

🔹Industrial development and support for businesses

Last year, 1.2 million new small and medium-sized businesses were registered in Russia. Please note: this is the highest number over the last five years. People are striving to start their own businesses, believe in themselves, in their country and in their success.

🔹Finance system and tax treatment

🔹Digitalisation

The total capacity of domestic supercomputers should be increased by at least ten times by 2030.

🔹Development of regions, towns, and villages

🔹Preservation of Russia’s cultural heritage

🔹Energy distribution in all regions

🔹Programmes to improve the environmental situation and protect nature

🔹Development of the tourism infrastructure and all means of transport

A special effort is being made on the further development of the Northern Sea Route. We would like to invite foreign transport companies and states to use the capabilities of this global transport corridor.
