    BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — China on Monday urged Japan to learn from history and be prudent in its military and security words and actions as this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

    Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin made the statement in response to a reporter’s request to comment on Japanese government sources’ reports that Japan plans to export six Abukuma-class frigates to the Philippines.

    The official reiterated China’s position that cooperation between relevant countries in the areas of defense and security should not be directed against third parties or harm their interests.

    Jiang Bin recalled the grave historical responsibility of Japanese militarism for its actions during World War II, including the invasion and colonial rule of neighboring countries such as China and the Philippines, as well as the occupation of islands in the South China Sea.

    In recent years, Japan, going beyond the framework of its peace constitution and the principle of “exclusively defensive policy,” has been continuously increasing the export of weapons and military equipment abroad, the official representative stated.

    He said such actions looked like reckless attempts to create “inner circles,” sow chaos in the South China Sea and bring instability to the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.

    “We call on the Japanese side to deeply rethink its activities, learn from history, exercise caution in its statements and actions in the military and security spheres, and take more steps to help protect peace and stability in the region,” the official representative concluded. –0–

    Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, said Malta plays a unique and positive role in matters of world peace and stability.

    China hopes to work with Malta to maintain high-level political trust, mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual support, and firmly fulfill mutual commitments on issues affecting each other’s core interests and major concerns, the Chinese Foreign Minister noted.

    He indicated that China is willing to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with Malta in areas such as trade, investment, culture and tourism, science and education, and continue to maintain positive communication and cooperation in international affairs.

    Speaking about China-EU relations, Wang Yi noted that the most important experience and lesson learned from the 50 years of development of China-EU relations is that bilateral relations are positioned as partnerships, not competition, and their leitmotif is dialogue and cooperation.

    The Chinese Foreign Minister stressed that China and the EU, as two leading global powers, civilizations and markets, should understand, respect and value each other.

    Wang Yi called on both sides to view the mutually beneficial and win-win nature of bilateral relations from the perspective of development, jointly promote the process of human civilization, and maintain world peace and stability.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Study: This summer, Russians are more likely to travel around the country by car with their families

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) – Ministry of Economic Development (Russia) –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Two thirds (62%) of Russians plan to go on holiday this summer, half (49%) will go on holiday with their spouse, and another 40% will take their children with them.

    Most often, citizens plan tourist trips by car (38%), in second place among modes of transport is the train (29%), in third place is the plane (21%). The demand for various formats of recreation is growing: the most popular were trips along eco-trails (37%) and signature tours (33%). The main motive for summer travel is a reboot. These are the results of a study on the preferences of summer recreation of Russians, conducted by ANO “National Priorities” and the Ministry of Economic Development in June 2025.

    Family vacations are still at the top of our citizens’ preferences: 49% of respondents will vacation with their spouse, and another 40% will take their children with them. This format is most popular among respondents in two age groups: 35–44 years old (57%) and 45–54 years old (54%). Among the types of transport that people will travel by this summer, the most popular is the car: 38% of respondents choose it. 29% of respondents will travel to their vacation spots by train, and 21% by plane.

    “Studies of Russian tourists’ preferences regularly record the growth in popularity of car trips. We expect that this summer the share of car tourists will grow from 38% to 43% compared to last year. For this category, we have created more than 93 ready-made tourist routes together with the regions. Detailed information about them can be found on the National Tourism Portal “Puteshestvoem.rf”. We support the development of car routes, as well as their infrastructure, with measures that are in effect within the framework of the national project “Tourism and Hospitality”. In particular, this is a program for the creation of modular hotels, non-capital infrastructure facilities within the framework of a single subsidy. In these measures, projects related to the development of car tourism are highlighted as a priority. We are working separately with the Russian Ministry of Transport on repairing roads along routes, with the Ministry of Digital Development on developing communications on roads, and with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Natural Resources on equipping tourist attractions with the necessary infrastructure,” notes Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov.

    The main tourist motive this summer is a reboot: 58% of Russians go on vacation to clear their heads and relax. In second place is the search for new experiences (52%), in third place is the restoration and strengthening of health, as well as providing an interesting vacation for their children (29% each).

    48% of respondents plan to spend less than 50 thousand rubles on a summer vacation, 32% – from 50 to 100 thousand rubles. The majority of respondents planning a summer vacation this year are young people aged 18-24 (71%) and 25-34 (73%). Half of the respondents (52%) plan to vacation for one to two weeks, while younger people (18-34) are more likely than others to plan shorter trips.

    “The study shows that Russians have begun to split the classic two-week vacation more often. Modern tourists prefer to vacation several times in the summer, choosing short trips – the so-called weekend trips. This is confirmed by the statistics of the National Tourism Portal “Puteshestvoem.rf”: the corresponding section on it is one of the most popular along with car routes. Today, the portal offers more than 200 options for short trips to almost all regions of the country, and most of them will be of interest to families with children. Family vacations are an ongoing trend, and their popularity will only grow, which is reflected in the demand for a variety of formats. We also see a growing interest in event and cultural and educational tourism,” notes Sofia Malyavina, General Director of ANO “National Priorities”.

    Perhaps the most interesting and unexpected conclusion from the study is the diversity of popular recreation formats. Thus, the leaders are eco-trail travel and signature tours: they are chosen by 37% and 33% of respondents, respectively. These formats are most in demand among young people (25-34 years old). Also popular with this age group are retreats – a quiet holiday that involves removing yourself from society, various spiritual and health practices. Creative tourism is also gaining popularity – active recreation, where you can gain new knowledge and learn new skills: it was noted by 26% of respondents.

    This year, 17% of Russians will go to the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar Krai, 12% plan to vacation in Crimea or take short trips close to home. Almost half (46%) of respondents assess seaside vacations in Krasnodar Krai as safe, 38% of respondents are ready to consider trips to the Black Sea coast if prices drop.

    8% are planning to travel abroad, while 57% of respondents expressed a desire to visit other countries if restrictions are lifted.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: The number of private homes being built using escrow accounts has exceeded 16 thousand

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Since March 1, 2025, a law has been in force in Russia regulating the use of escrow accounts in the sphere of individual housing construction (IHC). This mechanism ensures the protection of citizens’ funds from unscrupulous contractors and increases the reliability of transactions in the construction of private houses. Thus, to date, the number of private houses in the construction of which this mechanism was used has exceeded 16 thousand. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “We see a significant increase in citizens’ interest in individual housing construction. Our task is to create conditions for people to realize their desire to live in their own home. An important component in this matter is to guarantee the security of transactions. On March 1, 2025, a law came into force providing for the use of an escrow account mechanism for individual housing construction, which has already proven itself in the construction of apartment buildings. If in the spring, about 5 thousand individual residential buildings were built using escrow, today more than 16 thousand private houses in the country are being built using this secure financial mechanism,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that escrow accounts guarantee the protection of equity holders’ funds at all stages of construction. Buyers are assured that their money will be transferred to the contractor only after construction is completed. This means that in the event of a missed deadline or other violations, citizens will be able to return their investments.

    The number of construction companies ready to work with escrow in the construction of private homes is also growing. According to the state company DOM.RF, the number of such contractors has grown more than 2.5 times – from 1.8 thousand on March 1 to 4.7 thousand companies at the current moment.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    At the Ministry of Transport, Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev introduced Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin to the staff of the Ministry of Transport and the country’s transport complex. Andrey Nikitin appointed Minister of Transport By Decree of the President of Russia dated July 8, 2025 No. 460.

    The presentation was attended by deputy ministers and heads of organizations subordinate to the Ministry of Transport, representatives of the Federation Council, the State Duma and the professional transport community, and heads of major transport companies.

    Vitaly Savelyev emphasized that the new head of the department has extensive professional experience: he headed the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and was the governor of the Novgorod Region.

    “This experience will certainly be useful in the Ministry of Transport, will help to seriously strengthen the Ministry’s position and effectively solve the problems that the industry faces today. One of the key tasks is the implementation of the national project “Efficient Transport System”, which includes nine federal projects, including the construction of a high-speed highway approved by the President of Russia. Other large-scale tasks include the development of the Great Northern Sea Route, the construction of the third stage of the Eastern Polygon of Railways, the creation of modern and high-quality airfield and airport infrastructure,” said Vitaly Savelyev.

    The Deputy Prime Minister noted such qualities of the Ministry of Transport team as cohesion and readiness to solve assigned tasks at the highest level.

    Andrey Nikitin spoke about the priority areas of development of the industry. “I am ready to work in a single team to achieve together the high results set by the President and the Prime Minister,” he said.

    According to the Minister, solving these problems is impossible without the support of colleagues from the State Duma and the Federation Council – in terms of legislative solutions and the creation of a legal framework for new technologies, high-speed systems, unmanned transport and many other innovations.

    The emphasis will be on the digitalization of the industry. “We are doing this to ensure multimodality, maximum comfort and convenience for our passengers. The Ministry of Transport will be one of the leaders in this process,” the minister said.

    Other important areas requiring increased attention are increasing the capacity of border crossings, transport security, and the development of scientific and human resources potential.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The government will support the construction of modular hotels in the regions.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Russian government has approved a regulation on the distribution of funds between regions to support the construction of modular hotels. It is planned to allocate 15 billion rubles in the next three years.

    The modular hotel support program is in high demand among businesses and regions. 13 thousand rooms have already been introduced under this program. Given the demand for the program, the Government decided to extend the term of the program, and a selection of projects was conducted for the next three years. 77 regions took part in the competition, submitting 1.8 thousand projects for the creation of more than 40 thousand rooms. This is one and a half times higher than the figures for a similar competition two years ago.

    Based on the results of the selection, 380 projects from 55 regions will receive support; they are aimed at creating almost 11 thousand rooms. State support funds will be used to provide financial support or reimburse the costs of purchasing and installing modular non-capital accommodation facilities for tourists. The largest amount of funding was allocated to regions with projects in tourist SEZs (North Caucasus Federal District, Irkutsk Region, Kemerovo) and entities through which popular tourist routes pass (Vladimir and Yaroslavl Regions).

    For the first time, the Republic of Mordovia, Vologda Oblast and Kamchatka Krai will receive subsidies under the program, which became possible thanks to the high-quality development of their projects.

    “It is important that such projects are implemented within the specified timeframes, that they meet the highest safety requirements and provide comfortable conditions,” emphasized the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.

    At the same time, investors in the Far East, the Arctic and the Far North are allowed to use subsidies for the construction of non-capital facilities for the placement of non-factory production. This is due to the remoteness of such territories from the centers of production of modular structures and the high cost of their delivery.

    Among the priority areas are the implementation of investment projects in new regions and in the territories of special economic zones of the tourist and recreational type, the construction of facilities near automobile tourist routes passing through sections of the federal roads M-4 “Don”, M-8 “Kholmogory”, M-11 “Neva”, M-12 “Vostok”.

    “The modular hotel support program has proven its relevance: businesses and regions have actively joined the work, proposing large-scale initiatives. We paid special attention to the transparency of the selection, stimulating responsible use of funds and compliance with implementation deadlines. Within two weeks, we plan to conclude agreements with the regions and provide funding so that within a month the funds will be received by investors and practical work will begin,” said Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of Russia.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Chernyshenko: Volunteers of “Dobro.RF” have already fulfilled more than 650 thousand requests for assistance to participants of the SVO and their families

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    On July 14, the “Dobro” shift of the 11th All-Russian Youth Educational Forum “Territory of Meanings” of the “Rosmolodezh.Forums” platform opened, which this year became part of the national project “Youth and Children”.

    Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko greeted the participants and presented them with the “For Good Deeds” badge and the “Volunteer of Russia” badge.

    “As our President Vladimir Putin said, compassion and volunteerism have always been inherent in our country. One of the milestones that we need to remember is the preparation of the volunteer corps for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi. This event was held at the highest level largely due to the fact that our country demonstrated the face of a new, modern, young, energetic, friendly Russia precisely through volunteers, through their work,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

    At that time, 25 thousand volunteers were trained, the competition was higher than in the most prestigious universities – more than 10 people per place. Dmitry Chernyshenko recalled that Vladimir Putin personally presented diplomas to the winners of the volunteer competition.

    The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that in Russia one can realize one’s potential and talents in a wide variety of areas.

    “The President has instructed us to provide all possible, necessary support within the framework of the national project “Youth and Children” so that you can implement this in the most effective way. But of course, you yourselves are the most powerful driving force of volunteerism in our country,” he added.

    Key measures in this area are collected in the federal project “We are together”. Among them are 12 events, including support for the association “Dobro.rf” and the project

    Dmitry Chernyshenko reported that there are already 88 regional centers for the development of volunteerism, more than 1,000 “Dobro.Centers” and 3,500 headquarters in Russia.

    “We understand that this is in fact only the beginning of a long journey, given the task that the President set for us: almost half of all young people should be involved in volunteer and social activities. I am sure that in order to improve the platform, it will be necessary to expand its functionality. The Government gave such an order, but I see that you yourself, with your actions, suggest what these events should be,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the volunteers and listed a number of key tasks facing them. Firstly, this is support for participants in the special military operation, their families and assistance to residents of border areas. Volunteers have already fulfilled more than 650 thousand requests, and more than 600 humanitarian missions have been carried out in Donbass and border areas. Secondly, the elimination of the consequences of the emergency in Anapa. In Krasnodar Krai alone, volunteers have collected and removed about 150 thousand tons of contaminated sand and soil, and saved 7.5 thousand birds. Thirdly, volunteers have provided invaluable assistance in the fight against fires in Zabaikalsky Krai.

    In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister instructed Rosmolodezh, together with the forum participants, to work out ways to reward feats with event-related ties.

    At the opening ceremony of the shift, the Deputy Prime Minister presented the “For Good Deeds” badge and the “Volunteer of Russia” badge.

    The “For Beneficence” badge of distinction was established by the decree of the President. It was awarded for systematic work in the social sphere. It was received by the winners of the International Prize

    The procedure for rewarding and awarding the “Volunteer of Russia” badge was approved by the Government Resolution. The first to receive the award at the opening of the “Dobro.Conference” were nine volunteers from different regions of Russia. Among them were Olga Ponomareva from the Volgograd Region, Kristina Paraskan from the Zaporozhye Region, Valentina Shustova from the Kirov Region, Zayana Abdulova from the Republic of Kalmykia, Eduard Gaitov from the Chelyabinsk Region, Vera Tukhvatullina from the Tyumen Region, Elmira Anokhina from the Astrakhan Region, Elena Gavrilenko from the Krasnoyarsk Region, Natalia Rastegaeva from the Tambov Region.

    “The new award “Volunteer of Russia” is a symbol of recognition and respect for a significant contribution to volunteer activities and a way to thank volunteers for the good deeds that they do without even thinking, at the call of their hearts. It is symbolic that volunteers received their first badges at our flagship forum “Territory of Meanings”, where the traditional “Dobro.Conference” is taking place, bringing together more than 600 people,” said Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.

    The Dobro shift united people who actively participate in volunteer activities, create social projects, work in NGOs and develop volunteerism in Russia. The shift’s architect is the Dobro.RF social development ecosystem.

    “By 2030, every second young person will participate in public and volunteer initiatives. To do this, we will design a set of solutions that will unlock the potential of those willing to take part in social projects. Participants will work on creating an exchange of needs for volunteer and charitable assistance in Russia, a standard for attracting volunteers to eliminate emergencies, a program for the social mission of universities, and support measures for NGOs. We will support and scale up best practices – from preventing homelessness to supporting families in new regions,” said Artem Metelev, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy and Head of Dobro.RF.

    In total, five shifts are planned for the Territory of Meanings forum this year: Family, Good, Creation, Unity, and Service. The forum is being implemented as part of the national project Youth and Children. It is being held in the Senezh Management Workshop, the educational center of the presidential platform Russia – Country of Opportunities in Solnechnogorsk for the seventh time.

    A pilot project for purchasing discounted electronic tickets for suburban trains has been launched in St. Petersburg as part of the development of the “life situation” service for large families on the public services portal. A special application has been developed to implement the project, through which its participants can buy discounted tickets. This eliminates the need to stand in line at the ticket office and personally present a certificate of a large family. To board a train, it is enough to show the inspector the electronic ticket from the smartphone screen.

    When project participants purchase tickets in the application, their right to benefits is confirmed automatically. To do this, you need to enter your SNILS and date of birth. The technical interaction of information systems to ensure such automatic confirmation was organized by the Ministry of Transport together with the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, as well as the Analytical Center under the Government.

    The peculiarity of the services “life situations” is that the services that are necessary for people and businesses in certain circumstances are provided comprehensively and in one place. With the help of the services “life situations” the time for receiving government services, the number of visits to departments and documents that need to be provided are reduced.

    Work on launching the “life situations” services is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “State for People”, which is supervised by Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

    “The “life situations” services help people quickly and easily solve the most important issues. Among them are registration and receipt of a pension, replacement of documents, construction of a house and, of course, support for large families. The functions of this service will be expanded based on the results of a pilot project that is currently underway in St. Petersburg. In addition to the possibility of registering the status and electronic certificate of a large family, it is planned to add the purchase of discounted electronic tickets in all regions of the country,” said Dmitry Grigorenko.

    The pilot project for large families – participants of the project will last until October of this year. Based on its results, the issue of the possibility of implementing this project throughout the country will be considered.

    As part of the expansion of the “life situation” functionality for large families, the possibility of including air transport in the program for purchasing discounted electronic tickets is also being considered.

    At the federal level, “life situations” services for citizens and businesses have been implemented since 2023. There are currently 35 of them available. Since 2024, more than 150 regional “life situations” services have also been operating.

    Congratulations from Dmitry Patrushev on Fisherman’s Day

    Dear colleagues!

    I congratulate the workers and veterans of the Russian fisheries complex on Fisherman’s Day.

    Fishing industry is one of the most important sectors of the Russian economy, which makes a significant contribution to ensuring not only national but also global food security. Russia is one of the leading countries in terms of volumes of aquatic bioresources production, and seeks to strengthen its position in the global fisheries industry and develop aquaculture production.

    The President of our country has outlined a strategic goal to further increase production and export of agricultural products. Fishing industry is an integral part of this goal. And much has already been done to achieve it. Thanks to the investment quota program, the industry infrastructure is being updated – modern fishing vessels, processing plants and logistics centers are being built.

    To support enterprises, the state implements comprehensive measures aimed at increasing innovation, introducing advanced environmentally friendly technologies throughout the entire chain from catching aquatic bioresources to releasing the finished product. This allows us to provide for the domestic market and increase export potential. Specialized science also plays an important role in the technological development and sustainable operation of the domestic fish industry.

    I would like to point out that all these successes would be impossible without people. The Russian fisheries industry employs more than 125 thousand people – professionals, experts, who love their work. I thank all workers in the fishing industry for their conscientious work and wish them health, prosperity, development and new successes.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Yuri Trutnev: A competition has been announced for the concept of a monument dedicated to the victory of the Red Army in the last battle of World War II on Shumshu

    On behalf of Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev, an open creative competition has been announced for the best architectural and artistic concept for a monument dedicated to the victory of the Red Army in the final battle of World War II. The monument will be erected on the Kuril Island of Shumshu. The organizers are the Russian Military Historical Society and the Office of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District.

    “This year our country celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. We honor the feat of our fathers and grandfathers who shed their blood for the freedom of the Motherland and a peaceful sky above their heads, the feat of workers who forged Victory in the rear. One of the most important tasks facing us is not just to remember the heroism of our people, but to pass on the memory of this to our descendants. World War II ended in the Far East. Here, on the Kuril island of Shumshu, the Kuril landing operation was carried out. During the war, Shumshu was an almost impregnable fortress. According to the laws of military art, in order to take fortified positions, the attackers must have at least a threefold superiority in forces. But here it was exactly the opposite: the Japanese troops were many times superior to the Soviet landing force. But we won, and our country put an end to World War II. Now, on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, a military-historical memorial complex dedicated to the Kuril landing operation is being created on Shumshu. A decision has been made to erect a monument dedicated to the victory of the Red Army in this battle on the top of Mount Severnaya on Shumshu Island – in close proximity to the historical battlefield of Soviet paratroopers with Japanese tanks. A competition has been announced for this purpose. I am sure that there will be a great response from sculptors, artists and other creative people,” said Yuri Trutnev.

    The competition will be held until August 29, 2025 inclusive. Concepts will be accepted until 18:00 Moscow time on August 8, 2025. The expert committee will sum up the competition and announce its results on August 29, 2025.

    There are several requirements for the concept of the monument. The main artistic idea of the monument being created is the image of the rapid advance of the Red Army, breaking through the line of defense of the Japanese troops in the final battle of World War II. The composition must be visually readable from all directions and become a key point of the space of the memorial ensemble.

    The location of the monument was not chosen by chance. The most difficult moment of the Kuril operation was the landing of Soviet troops on the northernmost island of the ridge – Shumshu – with numerous defensive fortifications, underground tunnels and pillboxes.

    The liberation of the Kuril Islands put an end to the Soviet-Japanese War and became one of the bloodiest operations of August-September 1945. The 2nd Far Eastern Front and the Pacific Fleet participated in the Kuril landing operation. The Soviet landing force landed on the islands without tanks and artillery, and had only light weapons.

    The bloody battles for the capture of Shumshu Island lasted for several days. After the capitulation of the Japanese garrison of Shumshu on August 23, 1945, the islands of the northern and central part of the ridge were liberated, and a successful operation was carried out to capture the islands of Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan, and Habomai.

    Bank of Russia defined prospects for regulating the IPO market after publicly discussing their initiatives. The proposed measures will contribute to the formation of best practices and improving the quality of IPOs.

    The first part of the changes is aimed at adapting the information disclosed by issuers to the needs of investors. The summary of the securities prospectus will be transformed into a short and clear document, which reflects financial indicators in comparison with previous periods, a description of the company’s development strategy, information on dividend policy and other key information. And the securities prospectus itself will need to include forecast indicators for the coming year.

    Companies are also required to disclose information on the planned and actual distribution of shares among buyers, the existence of restrictions on the sale of securities by the issuer and current shareholders, as well as the mechanisms used to stabilize the price of shares to reduce their volatility after the IPO.

    The regulator plans to establish a new listing condition. When entering an IPO, the issuer must submit at least two independent analytical reports with an assessment of the fair value of the company. They can be prepared by professional participants or audit organizations in the financial market. In their reports, they must reflect all the essential information about the company: the current position on the market and the results of activities, prospects and forecasts for development, possible risks. At the same time, they must justify the methodology of their assessment. As a result, retail investors will have access to high-quality analytics for making informed decisions.

    For third-tier companies, additional guarantees of the reliability of information and the quality of the preparation of issue documentation will be attracted organizations providing services for the preparation of a securities prospectus and (or) the organization of placement. All changes are planned to be prepared by the end of 2025.
