President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.
The results of annual medical checkup of adults and children in 2024 are our main issue today. Ms Golikova will tell us about the results of this work and how the process is going now, as well as what needs to be done additionally.
I would like to begin with a rather acute topic. You may be aware that I recently met with Acting Governor of the Kursk Region Alexander Khinstein. He reported on what had been done to support the people who found themselves in a difficult situation after Ukrainian military units and mercenaries entered a number of areas in the Kursk Region.
The Acting Governor reported to me that all citizens who lost their property have received monetary payments and compensations. To date, 80 percent of the families that lost their homes have received cash payments to buy or to build new housing. Almost 10,000 families have been issued funds to rent housing.
Nevertheless, after meeting with the people, Mr Khinstein raised the question of providing additional help to the people given the difficult situation in which they found themselves. I have asked both the Acting Governor and the Government to prepare and make proposals to that end.
Mr Siluanov, I know that the regional authorities have been working with the Finance Ministry. What have you agreed upon?
To be continued.
