    Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Svyatoslav Sorokin held a meeting on the development of the territory of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Avangard” during a working visit to Omsk Oblast.

    To date, 11 residents have registered in the SEZ, who have already invested 5.7 billion rubles and created 108 jobs.

    The plans for the development of the SEZ include the placement of new investment projects. The key project will be the construction of a tire plant of JSC Avangard (part of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, UMMC). The total investment in the project will amount to 41.5 billion rubles. The start of production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028. The enterprise will produce up to 10.5 thousand extra-large tires per year – for quarry equipment, dump trucks and heavy machines operating in the mining industry. Each such tire is designed for a load of over 20 tons. The products are oriented, among other things, to the needs of Kuzbass and the Far East. About half of the volume will be consumed within UMMC’s own contour, which ensures guaranteed demand.

    It was noted at the meeting that in order to continue working to attract investment to the SEZ territory, it is necessary to carry out measures to develop water supply and sanitation networks, the estimated cost of which is 3.044 billion rubles. The possibility of financing was announced by Svyatoslav Sorokin through the mechanism of providing the region with a treasury infrastructure loan. Following the meeting, the Government of Omsk Region sent a corresponding application to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

    “Development of the territory of the SEZ “Avangard” opens up opportunities for the placement of new high-tech production facilities. The company’s tire plant project is a large-scale investment initiative with an import-substituting effect and a significant contribution to the regional budget. Such projects form a new industrial profile of the Omsk Region,” said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Svyatoslav Sorokin.

    SEZ “Avangard” was created in December 2020 on the territory of Omsk. The total area is 165 hectares, of which 116 are intended for the placement of residents, 73% have already been leased or owned.

    At a meeting on the development of checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation, the results of the movement of goods and freight vehicles on the main sections of the border were summed up.

    The positive dynamics of freight vehicle traffic through automobile checkpoints is sustainable. Thus, the number of freight vehicles that passed through automobile checkpoints located on priority sections of the state border has increased by almost 70% over the past seven years and reached more than 6.5 million units in 2024.

    At checkpoints on the Russian-Chinese section of the state border, the growth was almost 130% (from 229 thousand to 523 thousand units). In turn, the volume of transported goods increased by 34% and reached 46 million tons by the end of 2024.

    High dynamics are also maintained in the movement of freight vehicles at checkpoints on the Russian-Mongolian section: 65% of the 2018 level, an increase from 34 thousand units in 2018 to 56 thousand units in 2024.

    High rates are also observed on the Russian-Azerbaijani, Russian-Kazakh, and Russian-Georgian sections of the state border.

    As part of the implementation of the order of the President of Russia to reduce the inspection time of freight vehicles to 10 minutes, the implementation of a pilot project at the Tagirkent-Kazmalyar automobile checkpoint on the Russian-Azerbaijani border continues. Thanks to the elimination of paperwork, the introduction of an intelligent checkpoint system and equipping the site with modern portal inspection and screening systems, the inspection time in test mode was just over 9 minutes.

    By 2030, the implemented solutions will be scaled up to 55 priority checkpoints.

    In implementing the plans of the “road map” for the introduction of smart checkpoints, the Russian Government is working closely with state control bodies: the Border Service of the FSB of Russia, the Federal Customs Service of Russia, Rosselkhoznadzor, and Rospotrebnadzor.

  • MIL-OSI Europe: Briefing – Phasing out Russian fossil fuel imports – 09-07-2025

    Source: European Parliament

    At the Versailles Summit in March 2022, EU leaders committed to phasing out Europe’s dependency on imported Russian natural gas, oil and coal. EU Member States ceased to import coal from Russia in August 2022, while imports of Russian crude oil dropped from 27 % in 2021 to 3 % of total EU crude oil imports in 2024. However, Russian natural gas still represents a substantial part of total EU gas consumption. The Commission proposed a ‘Roadmap towards ending Russian energy imports’ on 6 May 2025, aiming at the EU fully ending its dependency on Russian energy, while ensuring stable energy supplies and prices across the EU. A follow-up legislative proposal, published on 17 June 2025, focuses solely on phasing out imports of natural gas and oil from Russia, while imports of Russian nuclear material will be the subject of a separate proposal due to the complexity of supply chains. The proposal introduces legal obligations on Member States and private entities aiming at gradually phasing out pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported directly or indirectly from Russia. It also presents measures to facilitate a complete end to Russian oil imports by the end of 2027. A complete phase out of imports of Russian natural gas is envisaged for 1 January 2028, while imports under short-term contracts should end by 17 June 2026.
