❗️ “Logistics and warehouse capacities damaged in attacks need to be restored, including with state assistance.”

Vladimir Putin spoke today at a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects.

The main points from the first half of the president’s speech, as summarised by RIA Novosti:

✔️ There have been no critical consequences from terrorist attacks on Russia’s infrastructure, there are none, and there cannot be any, although they do cause damage.

✔️ Logistics and warehouse capacities damaged in attacks need to be restored, including with state assistance.

✔️ Economic momentum in Russia is generally modest but positive.

✔️ Every minister and deputy prime minister must cooperate with the regions, as some areas there are lagging behind.

✔️ He asked the government to determine a list of regions whose financial position needs to be balanced.

✔️ He demanded that the Cabinet ensure the balance and stability of Russia’s entire budget system.

✔️ The deadline for regions to repay budget loans has been extended beyond 2030, which will save the regions around 100 billion roubles.

✔️ He demanded that civil servants take a more active role in the “Personnel for the Economy of the Future” programme: “This is not a game; it has a purpose.”

✔️ He called on all regions to launch an electronic service for evaluating social institutions more quickly, so that people can do this from their mobile devices.
