    Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova and Kaluga Region Governor Vladislav Shapsha opened a children’s and adult polyclinic in Kaluga. The new facility is designed for 650 visits per shift, its area is 17.5 thousand square meters.

    “I sincerely congratulate you with all my heart, because this is a truly significant event: here, in the Pravoberezhny microdistrict of Kaluga, a large children’s and adult clinic is opening. This is another result of the national project “Healthcare”, which was announced by our President in 2018, completed in 2024, but we continue this work, because we understand perfectly well that the availability and quality of medical care is an absolute priority of our state, because there is nothing more precious than the health of citizens. And today’s clinic, both adult and children’s, and the clinic that provides assistance to pregnant women, is a very important contribution to the development of the Kaluga region. Because a healthy person is a capable person who creates the wealth of the Kaluga land,” said Tatyana Golikova.

    The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the national goal of preserving the population, strengthening health, improving well-being and supporting families is key. In total, 11 thousand healthcare facilities were created within the framework of the national project “Healthcare”. In the Kaluga Region, 236 primary care facilities were created and renovated. Since January 1, 2025, the development of the healthcare system continues within the framework of the new national projects “Long and Active Life” and “Family”.

    “Today, primary healthcare is the first contact with the population, with the patient. Every year, more than 1 billion citizen requests are registered at the primary level. But the task of the polyclinic is not just to cure existing diseases. Its main goal is prevention, aimed at early detection of diseases or risks of their development, timely treatment and monitoring of patients’ health,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

    The children’s and adult polyclinic was built in the Pravoberezh’ye microdistrict in Kaluga. According to the region’s governor Vladislav Shapsha, more than 70 thousand people live in this part of the city today.

    The new facility houses three outpatient clinics with modern diagnostic facilities: adult and children’s outpatient clinics, as well as a women’s consultation center. The total cost of construction was 1.9 billion rubles. More than 8 thousand units of medical equipment and medical products were purchased. Including heavy equipment: magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray machine, fluorograph, mammograph. Subsidies from the federal and regional budgets were allocated for these purposes – 1.08 billion rubles and 0.5 billion rubles, respectively.

    The Deputy Prime Minister inspected the computed tomography rooms, blood collection rooms, specialist doctors’ rooms, gastroscopy rooms, children’s physiotherapy and rehabilitation departments, women’s consultation rooms, a pharmacy – a branch of the Kalugafarmatsiya State Enterprise and a number of other premises.

    The Deputy Prime Minister assessed the work of the modern electronic registry, which has been in operation at Kaluga City Hospital No. 5 since December last year as part of the pilot project “New Registry”. Some of the duties of the medical staff were taken over by the employees of the multifunctional center. This allows optimizing the work of the medical institution, creating more comfortable conditions for patients, and minimizing queues.

    The clinic also has conditions for students of the medical faculty of the Kaluga State University named after K.E. Tsiolkovsky – an office of the Department of Internal Medicine, where future doctors will master practical skills and work with mentors.

    As part of her working visit, Tatyana Golikova also held an all-Russian conference entitled “Personnel for Modern Healthcare. Strategy for Reducing the Personnel Shortage.”

    “Today, there are 558 thousand doctors and 1.2 million mid-level medical workers working in the healthcare system. For a very long time, we have been observing a steady trend towards a decrease in the number of personnel in the healthcare system, but over the last two years, the industry has nevertheless begun to grow, and we have seen positive changes over the last two years by more than 16 thousand doctors,” noted Tatyana Golikova.

    Thanks to the activities of the national project “Healthcare”, by the end of 2024, the staffing of paramedic stations and outpatient organizations approached 95%. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that, on the instructions of the head of state, the federal project “Medical Personnel” was launched this year as part of the national project “Long and Active Life”. Based on its results, by 2030 it is necessary to increase the provision of the population with doctors from 42.0 to 43.5 per 10 thousand people, and with mid-level medical personnel – from 83.3 to 85.1 per 10 thousand people.

    The federal project includes measures to improve the qualifications and accelerate professional retraining of medical workers, increase the number of students in universities and colleges, create regional personnel centers and develop regional personnel programs. Regions need to develop social support measures in the form of providing housing for medical workers, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

    The conference was attended by Governor Vladislav Shapsha, Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly on Budget and Financial Markets Anatoly Artamonov, heads of medical organizations of Kaluga and a number of other regions, and representatives of all Russian regions via videoconference.

    The heads of relevant departments from the Kaluga, Irkutsk and Tyumen regions shared their successful experience in strengthening the human resources potential of healthcare. They also discussed improving the system of university training of qualified specialists using the example of the Ryazan State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlov.

    In addition, as part of a working trip to the Kaluga Region, a meeting with Governor Vladislav Shapsha took place, as well as a visit to the K.E. Tsiolkovsky State Museum of the History of Cosmonautics.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Grigorenko: Digital public administration is a new standard for regions.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Republic of Buryatia has joined the federal digital system of public administration. As a result, today 100% of the region’s federal orders are controlled using the “governor’s dashboard”. The implementation of this system was checked by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko during a working visit to Ulan-Ude.

    In online mode, the “governor’s dashboard” allows you to monitor budget execution, implementation of national projects, including the construction of new roads, schools, hospitals and other socially significant facilities. The system provides up-to-date data on all key areas of the region’s work and its interaction with the federal center. This allows you to quickly respond to emerging difficulties and, if necessary, prevent possible risks of non-implementation of state projects.

    As of today, 43 regions are connected to the “governor’s dashboard”. It is planned that by the end of this year all subjects of the Russian Federation will join the system.

    The dashboard is based on the state automated information system “Management”, which is used to monitor the activities of the Government, the implementation of national projects, state programs and the achievement of national development goals. At the same time, each governor can set up a system for monitoring specific projects or tasks that the region most urgently needs to implement.

    “We are gradually moving towards data-based public administration. At the federal level, this approach has already proven its effectiveness – the executive discipline of government bodies in fulfilling key government tasks has increased many times over. Now, with the help of the “governor’s dashboard”, we are implementing this system in the regions. Buryatia was one of the first to join this project, and today the system is already being used here on a permanent basis,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.

    “The data and reports recorded on the dashboard influence the adoption of further decisions: to adjust something somewhere, to strengthen something somewhere, and so on. Therefore, internal discipline immediately increased not only in the implementation of tasks, but also in the correct execution of decisions,” noted the head of Buryatia, Alexey Tsydenov.

    During the visit, the Deputy Prime Minister also assessed the digital services being implemented in Buryatia to improve the efficiency of public administration and the quality of life of citizens. Among them is the voice assistant “Ulana”. In online mode, the virtual assistant based on artificial intelligence helps residents of the region make an appointment at the MFC or, conversely, cancel an appointment, find out about the procedure for obtaining a driver’s license, SNILS, TIN and other government services. The voice assistant has doubled the speed of processing citizens’ requests.

    An intelligent transport system has also been created and successfully implemented in Buryatia. It allows traffic management on the roads: it regulates traffic lights, monitors traffic jams and improves road safety. In particular, the intelligent transport system has reduced traffic jams in Ulan-Ude by 15%. To date, the city has also modernized the operation of 86 traffic lights, installed 143 video surveillance cameras that allow monitoring the traffic situation in real time. And information boards have appeared at bus stops to help passengers navigate public transport.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Russian Ministry of Economic Development and Avito Travel: Glamping popularity has doubled in a year

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    In the summer of 2025, travelers are most actively booking daily glampings in the Moscow region, Tatarstan, Karelia and Krasnodar Krai.

    According to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development and Avito Travel, the number of bookings in glamping sites has doubled year-on-year. Most often, such sites are rented this summer in the Moscow Region (14% of all bookings), Tatarstan (10%), Karelia (6%), Krasnodar Region (5%) and Nizhny Novgorod Region (4%).

    Among the most popular regions, the demand for glamping sites has grown the most in Samara (6.4 times), Voronezh (3.6 times) and Leningrad regions (2.7 times), Tatarstan (2.6 times), Bashkortostan, Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod regions (2.4 times in each region). In Moscow region, 80% more such sites were booked than in the summer of last year.

    The largest selection of glamping sites in the summer of 2025 is presented in the Moscow Region: every fourth such facility is located here. The share of the Sverdlovsk Region is 7%, Tatarstan – 6%, Krasnodar Krai, Bashkortostan and Leningrad Region – 4% each. The most noticeable increase in the supply of glamping sites year-on-year was noted in the Saratov (2.7 times) and Samara Regions (2.4 times), Adygea, Voronezh and Chelyabinsk Regions (2.3 times), as well as Bashkortostan and Ryazan Region (2.2 times).

    “Interest in modular hotels in Russia continues to grow, and the state actively supports their creation. Such hotels can be located in popular tourist locations – nature reserves, national parks, near national tourist routes, as well as in special economic zones, which helps to attract investment. The popularity of the program among businesses and regions is due to the growing demand of tourists for outdoor recreation, where the bulk of modular hotels are concentrated. Over the past three years, about 60 regions have reported the implementation of more than 800 projects, putting into operation more than 13 thousand rooms. This confirms the demand for the program and its contribution to the development of the country’s tourism infrastructure,” said Alimbek Khidzev, Director of the Tourism Development Department of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

    On average, Russians rent glampings for two days — this figure has not changed over the year. For longer periods, travelers stay in such facilities in Krasnodar Krai (three days), Karelia, Adygea, Tver, Saratov and Yaroslavl regions (three days each).

    “Glamping in Russia has ceased to be a niche format, which we can see from the multiple growth of bookings this summer. And the average number of guests, which is four people, allows us to say that this format is not only for couples and solo travelers who are looking for an option to get closer to nature and live in a photogenic interior with comfort, but also for a family audience. For entrepreneurs, the glamping format is good because such objects can be located in unique natural locations – on the coast, in a mountain valley or near a beautiful reservoir. So not only the object itself, but also the natural environment begins to work on the impressions of travelers. As a result, glamping is turning into a full-fledged alternative to hotels – but with an atmosphere of privacy and closeness to nature,” commented Artem Kromochkin, Director of Avito Travel.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: China strongly opposes Canada’s tightening restrictions on steel imports: China’s Ministry of Commerce

    BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhua) — China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to the Canadian government’s recent decision to tighten restrictions on steel imports, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Commerce said Friday.

    The official representative made a corresponding statement in response to a media inquiry on this issue.

    Finance Canada recently announced that, effective August 1, in response to U.S. steel tariffs and given the global steel glut, it will expand steel import quotas, tighten existing quota restrictions, and impose additional duties on above-quota imports. In addition, Canada will impose an additional 25 percent duty on imports of steel products smelted and cast in China from all countries except the United States.

    Commenting on the measures, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Commerce said they violate World Trade Organization rules, destabilize the international trade order and harm China’s interests, representing a typical manifestation of unilateralism and protectionism.

    The official noted that the real reason for the difficulties in Canada’s steel industry is the unilateral tariff measures of the United States. However, Canadian authorities ignore the main contradiction and try to shift the damage to the industry to other trading partners, including China, he added.

    According to the official representative, the Canadian side’s actions are logically unfounded, legally illegal and practically useless. They will seriously damage normal trade and economic cooperation between China and Canada, he warned.

    The Chinese side calls on Canada, in the spirit of safeguarding the multilateral trading system and maintaining the overall context of China-Canada economic and trade relations, to promptly correct its wrong actions and lift the restrictive measures. China will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises, the spokesperson added. –0–

    BEIJING, July 18 (Xinhua) — China on Friday strongly opposed a U.S. report that hypes the so-called “China threat” and called on relevant U.S. politicians to stop smearing and suppressing China.

    Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian made the remarks during a regular briefing for reporters when asked about a report by Democratic members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in which they called on Congress to take steps to restore the United States’ global reputation and influence to prevent China from overtaking the United States as the world’s leading power.

    Lin Jian noted that the relevant report is permeated with Cold War thinking, incites confrontation between major powers and inflates the so-called “Chinese threat.” In fact, it is aimed at containing and suppressing China, which the Chinese side is firmly against, the diplomat added.

    The official representative stressed that China adheres to an independent and self-sufficient peaceful foreign policy, always strives to be a positive, stabilizing and creative force, and does not want and will not compete with any country for influence, Lin Jian added.

    China adheres to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation when handling its relations with the United States, Lin Jian said. The diplomat called on relevant American figures to form a correct perception of China, view China and China-US relations objectively and rationally, stop attacking, slandering, containing and suppressing, and take more actions conducive to the stable, healthy and sustainable development of China-US relations. –0–

    Moscow, July 18 /Xinhua/ — Russia considers the unilateral sanctions imposed by the European Union to be illegal, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, commenting on the 18th package of EU sanctions.

    “We have repeatedly said that we consider such unilateral restrictions to be illegal, and we oppose them,” TASS quotes him as saying.

    As the Kremlin spokesman noted, the Russian leadership will analyze the new package of European sanctions in order to minimize its consequences. “So far, we see a fairly consistent anti-Russian line from Europe,” he added.

    D. Peskov also emphasized that sanctions are a double-edged weapon that will also hit the initiators of the restrictions.

    “Each new package adds a negative effect for the very countries that join it,” concluded the press secretary of the Russian president.

    Recall that the European Union (EU) approved a new package of sanctions against Russia on Friday. It includes a reduction in the price ceiling for Russian oil sold to third countries by 15 percent of the market price. The package also includes measures to ensure that the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea cannot resume operation. –0–

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Enterprises operating in single-industry towns and special economic zones will receive financial support for the implementation of investment projects. The order to allocate about 4 billion rubles for these purposes was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

    The issue concerns the launch of a program of preferential lending to businesses in single-industry towns and special economic zones, as well as a program of providing enterprises with bank guarantees under contracts, which will allow entrepreneurs to obtain a guaranteed sales market. The operators of such programs will be JSC “SME Corporation” and JSC “SME Bank”.

    Financial support will be provided to small and medium-sized companies that are not affiliated with city-forming enterprises. In addition, such companies should not be participants in the program of preferential lending to small and medium-sized businesses in priority sectors, which is already being implemented by the Ministry of Economic Development.

    The priority recipients of such support will be enterprises from 19 single-industry towns. These include, in particular, the towns of Berezovsky and Polysaevo in the Kemerovo Region, as well as the town of Chernogorsk in the Republic of Khakassia.

    For the comprehensive development of such single-industry towns, “road maps” are being developed together with regional authorities, providing for the consolidation of government support measures.

    The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Development of the subjects of the Russian Federation and individual territories”.

    The decision was approved onGovernment meeting on July 17.

    The document will be published.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    According to preliminary data, the population’s mortgage debt increased by 0.6% over the month after 0.5% in May. The bulk of loans issued are still accounted for by state programs.

    The consumer loan portfolio decreased by 0.4% after near-zero dynamics in May, including due to a halt in the growth of debt on credit cards.

    Taking into account investments in bonds, banks’ claims on companies grew by 0.9% in June (0.4% a month earlier). Ruble loans increased mainly (0.7%), with a significant portion of the increase coming from housing developers.

    Household funds in banks increased by a noticeable 1.5% after the seasonally weak dynamics of May (0.2%). Corporate funds, on the contrary, decreased slightly (-0.2% after 0.4% in May).

    The sector’s profit (excluding dividends from Russian subsidiary banks) for the month amounted to 392 billion rubles, which is one third higher than the May result. However, the growth is mainly due to a one-time release of reserves and is not indicative. Since the beginning of the year, banks have earned 1.7 trillion rubles, as in the same period last year.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: More than 3 thousand km of access roads to small settlements are planned to be updated under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” this year

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, sections of regional and local roads are being brought into compliance with the regulations – approaches to villages, settlements, hamlets, etc. In 2025, it is planned to renew 520 approaches to small settlements with a total length of over 3 thousand km. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “Convenient road access to small settlements directly affects the quality of life. Such roads improve the availability of medical care, education, jobs and shops, stimulate the development of local business and agriculture, and improve social ties. High-quality routes contribute to the influx of tourists, investment and new opportunities, which ultimately helps maintain the population and stop the outflow of young people to large cities. In 2025, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, we plan to put in order 520 access roads to villages, settlements, hamlets and small towns – this is over 3 thousand km of the regional and local road network,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin noted that the development of roads in rural areas is one of the key areas of work for road workers. According to data as of the end of 2024, the length of public roads of local importance passing through rural areas is 776.1 thousand km, of which 406.7 thousand km are paved. “To ensure sustainable growth of the country’s agricultural sector and improve the quality of life of people in rural areas, the state program “Integrated Development of Rural Areas” is being implemented in Russia. Thanks to it, in 2025 about 338 km of roads providing access to settlements and agricultural enterprises will be brought up to standard,” said Andrey Nikitin.

    Thus, in the Tula region, a section of the Tula-Belev highway – access to the settlement of Dubna has been repaired. The road provides access to the Mosolov estate with a park, the Church of Peter and Paul, as well as to the site of the annual festival “Orthodox Dubna”, which attracts many guests.

    On a 3 km long section, the asphalt concrete surface has already been completely replaced, the shoulders have been reinforced with crushed stone, and the exits, stops and landing areas have been restored. In parallel, road works are being carried out in the village itself under the national project. The length of the sections being repaired is over 2 km.

    In the Republic of Mari El, an access road to the village of Markelovo was put into operation after repairs. The length of the facility is 2.5 km. The road leads to socially significant facilities located in the administrative center of the Novotoryalsky District. In total, 14 such facilities with a total length of 97.5 km will be renovated in the region under the national project.

    In the Samara Region this year, about 160 km of roads will be put into operation, connecting small settlements with regional centers and key highways. In total, 15 sections leading to 25 villages and hamlets will be updated.

    For example, in Krasnoarmeysky District, 5.4 km of the Samara-Volgograd-Pestravka-Leninsky-Kochetkovsky-Butkovsky highway are undergoing major repairs. This is the only route connecting the settlements of Butkovsky and Sofinsky with the regional road network. In addition, this is the route to the main social facilities of the rural settlement of Leninsky, to which these settlements belong. It is also part of the school route.

    In the Susaninsky District of the Kostroma Region, a 3.2 km long access road to the village of Medvedki is being brought up to standard. The road connects the settlement with the regional highway Kostroma – Susanino – Buy and allows residents to get to the district and regional centers. The school bus route also passes through here. In addition, the access road provides transport accessibility to the tourist site located in Medvedki – the oldest stud farm, which was founded in 1891 by the merchant Skalozubov.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Grigorenko: Buryatia is mastering federal standards for the provision of public services.

    The Republic of Buryatia is mastering federal standards for the provision of public services. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko during a working visit to Ulan-Ude.

    In particular, Buryatia launched the “life situation” service for caring for a family member on the public services portal. This service is implemented within the framework of the federal project “State for People”. It is intended for citizens who want to arrange care for loved ones who need constant care: disabled people or elderly people. The service helps to issue a conclusion on the need for care, eliminating the unnecessary need for a personal visit to social services and collecting paper documents. Through the public services portal, residents of Buryatia can also call a doctor to their home or make an appointment with a local therapist.

    In addition, the “life situation” service offers users to undergo training in general care skills for elderly citizens and disabled people. Today, the “Care School” operates in Ulan-Ude. Social workers, junior medical personnel or relatives of people in need of care can undergo free training. In the future, the functionality of the service may be expanded.

    “Life situations are a new standard for providing government services, when a person can quickly and comprehensively resolve their issue without unnecessary bureaucratic barriers. Since last year, we have been implementing this approach in the regions. Now it is in effect in Buryatia. Our goal is to make such high standards the norm throughout the country, so that citizens receive government services at the same high level regardless of their place of residence,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.

    “Our developments, with the support of the Russian Government, are being implemented directly on the public services portal at the federal level and are becoming available to a wider range of people. Now the Deputy Prime Minister has given us guidelines on what else to work on, what to pay attention to. As a result of the meeting, we have a whole list of instructions that we will continue to work on. Thank you Dmitry Yuryevich for the visit and joint work,” said the head of Buryatia, Alexey Tsydenov.

    The unification of government services based on the principle of “life situations” has significantly simplified their receipt. In particular, within the framework of one regional service “life situation” it was possible to reduce the time for receiving government services by an average of 43% (from 44 to 25 days), the number of necessary documents was reduced by 50% (from 8 to 4 units), the number of visits that a person needs to make to departments was reduced by 75% (from 4 to 1).

    PYONGYANG, July 18 (Xinhua) — North Korea on Thursday criticized Japan’s 2025 defense white paper as “a military scenario to realize its re-invasion ambitions from A to Z,” the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported Friday.

    “It is common knowledge” that Japan has revised its national security strategy to include “preemptive strike capabilities” and accelerated both the development of domestically produced long-range missiles and the purchase of foreign-made missiles in recent years, KCNA reported, citing the head of the political department of the Institute of Japanese Affairs at the DPRK Foreign Ministry.

    Japan has increased its defense budget to a record high in 2025, ramping up its military capabilities to the fullest extent, KCNA reported, adding that as part of the effort, Tokyo is purchasing medium-range air-to-air missiles, long-range air-to-ground missiles and related equipment from Washington worth US$3.7 billion.

    Japan is also considering deploying 400 US-made Tomahawk long-range cruise missiles and Type-12 surface-to-ship missiles that increase their range to more than 1,000 km, KCNA reported.

    Japan, which has long positioned itself as a “peaceful nation” adhering to the principle of “exclusive defense,” is currently working to develop capabilities for offensive operations, including long-range strikes and cross-domain operations, KCNA said.

    Japan’s defense white paper is “a military scenario for realizing its re-invasion ambitions from A to Z. Its actions to turn Japan into a military giant that seriously threatens regional peace and security cannot be tolerated,” the report said. -0-

    BRUSSELS, July 18 (Xinhua) — The European Union (EU) on Friday approved a new package of sanctions against Russia, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said.

    “The EU has just approved one of the toughest sanctions packages against Russia to date,” wrote K. Kallas on the social network X.

In 2022, the Group of Seven (G7) set the price ceiling at $60 per barrel, now the price will be $47.6, with the possibility of adjustment in accordance with future changes in oil prices.

    The package also includes measures to ensure that the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea cannot be restarted.

    The EU will impose sanctions on a Russian-owned oil refinery in India and blacklist more than 100 additional vessels from Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” that are believed to be skirting EU sanctions by carrying mostly Russian oil, Kallas said. –0–
