In Russia, children with health limitations receive the necessary medicines according to a doctor’s prescription free of charge and at the expense of the state. They are also entitled to specialized medical nutritional products according to a separate list. Since last year, this list can be adjusted twice to take into account the emergence of new products. Since the beginning of 2024, eight items have been added to the list. “Now we will expand this list by three more,” Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers. “These are dry and liquid formulas that are necessary for children with rare diseases and metabolic disorders.”
Farmers in nine regions of the country that suffered from frosts in May this year will receive more than 900 million rubles. “If grain crops were replanted, orchards and berry fields suffered significantly, especially in central Russia, the Volga region and some other regions,” the head of the Cabinet recalled. Subsidies are provided to Belgorod, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Lipetsk, Penza, Rostov, Saratov and Tambov regions. In total, more than 160 farms will be able to receive assistance. “It is important that the funds reach the regions as soon as possible, this should help farmers plant new fruit trees and berry bushes now, during the autumn field work,” Mishustin stressed.
The government intends to immediately send four billion rubles to the Republic of Tuva for the implementation of a large investment project for the extraction and processing of non-ferrous metals. This should increase the attractiveness of this area for business, help the development of deposits and give an additional impetus to the development of the entire entity of the Federation. Federal funds will be used to build overhead power lines and other energy infrastructure facilities for the operation of an extraction and processing plant at the Ak-Sug porphyry copper deposit.
The natural resources of Tyva will help meet the needs of the growing Russian economy for strategic raw materials, including aluminum, nickel, copper, rare earths and other non-ferrous metals, the Prime Minister said. “They are now of great importance for the national industry, for strengthening technological sovereignty in a variety of sectors against the background of pressure from external sanctions, first of all in the aircraft industry, automotive industry, microelectronics, nuclear industry and chemical industry,” he said.
The Cabinet of Ministers will allocate more than 900 million rubles to farmers affected by frost
And for the Khabarovsk Territory, the government has allocated almost 700 million rubles to help improve at least 100 more courtyards. This is part of the large Far Eastern program “1000 homes”. “This helps local residents to choose for themselves where their local area will be developed and the main thing is to be active, take the initiative and strive to improve the surrounding space (courtyards, squares, parks),” recalled Mikhail Mishustin.
