and the growth of hmm wages at the beginning of this year , the minimum wage indexed by six and three tenths of a percent, i propose from january 1 next year , in addition to the planned increase , to carry out another one by an additional 10%. thus, the minimum wage will increase by 18.5% and amount to 19,000,242 rubles. now now, with regard to the adjustment of the tax system in the interests of russian families, since last year, families with two or more children are exempt from paying tax on the sale of housing if they decide to purchase a new, more spacious apartment or house needs to use such tools more actively. they turned out to be in demand so that there would be more funds in family budgets, and

families could solve the most important pressing problems. i propose to increase the size of the social tax deduction for the cost of educating children from the current fifty thousand to 110,000 rubles. per year, and for the cost of their own education, as well as for treatment and the purchase of medicines from 120 to 150,000 rubles. the state will return 13% of these increased amounts to citizens from the amount they paid for income tax. well, of course. and, of course, it is necessary not only to raise the amount of the deduction, but also to increase its demand, so that the deduction is provided in a proactive mode quickly and remotely, not burdensome for citizens , and the well-being and quality of life of russian families, which means that the demographic situation directly depends on the state of affairs in the social

sphere. i know that many subjects of the federation are ready to significantly speed up the renewal of the social infrastructure of cultural and sports facilities, resettlement of emergency housing integrated development of rural areas such a mood is unconditional. the following mechanism will support the use of funds for national projects that are reserved by the federal budget for 2024. the regions will be able to receive and use now through interest-free treasury loans in april next year. they will be automatic. we will keep this issue under constant operational control and ask the state council commission for economics and finance to get involved in this work. at the same time, we do not need assault and the pursuit of volumes, especially to

the detriment of the quality of the objects called, additional financial resources should work with high returns and effectiveness. this is actually important for the modernization of primary health care , such a large-scale program was launched in our country in 2021. i ask governments and regional leaders not to forget that the main criterion has already been spoken about many, many times, not the numbers in the reports. more specifically, visible, tangible changes in the availability and quality of medical care are also the government adjust the regulatory framework for organizing the procurement of ambulances with a diagnostic kit. the equipment they allow to carry out prophylactic medical examinations directly at enterprises in schools, institutions in remote settlements. we launched a major school renovation program towards the end

of this year. in total , almost 3.5 thousand school buildings will be put in order . of these, most of them in rural areas did this on purpose this year. such work is also unfolds in the donetsk and lugansk people's republics in the kherson and zaporozhye regions. it means they really see what's going on. this is very good with 2025 federal funds to repair and upgrade kindergartens. schools for technical schools and colleges will be allocated by the region on a regular, systematic basis, in order, in principle, to prevent a situation where the buildings are in a state of disrepair. next, we set a meaningful goal for the period 2019 to 24 to build more than 1,300 new schools, 850 of which are already openly planned, which in the current 400 more requests will be introduced in the year, the regions of these

plans withstood a clear amount of funding for this program and almost 490 billion rubles from the federal budget from 2019 to 2024. and we do not reduce these costs. we will preserve all this this year, we have increased the amount of infrastructure budget loans. we are sending additionally, i want to emphasize this not in the way we planned before, but an additional 250 billion rubles. for the development of transport, communal and other infrastructure in the regions. i instruct the governments to allocate in addition to these funds and another 50 billion rubles. they will be purposefully used to update public transport in the constituent entities of the federation this year , moreover, on the basis of modern technologies. at the same time, i ask you to pay special attention here to small towns and rural areas. we have already

made a decision. we have already decided to extend until 2030 the clean air project, the goal of which is to improve the ecological situation in the largest industrial centers , i draw the attention of industrial and industrial companies and regional local authorities. the goal is to significantly reduce harmful and emissions are not removed from the agenda, i would add that we have made good progress in reforming the waste management industry , we are increasing processing and sorting capacities in order to move to a circular economy as a priority in the further liquidation of old landfills and hazardous objects of the accumulated series. i ask the governments, together with the regions , to prepare now a list of those objects of accumulated harm that will be eliminated after the completion of the current program. let's continue the recovery

unique water bodies, including baikal and the volga and in the medium term, we will extend this work to our rails such as the don kama irtysh ural terek volkhov and the neva , lake ilmen, and i draw the attention of all levels of government to this about our medium and small rivers, on the instructions that were given earlier, a draft law on the development of tourism in specially protected natural areas was also prepared. recently discussed it with colleagues from the government. and he must clearly define what and where is possible. and that it is impossible to build and, in general, the principles of the industry, some tourism, a very important issue for our country. i ask the state duma to expedite consideration of this bill. now a few more words, but that about what is happening around us. dear

colleagues, i will dwell on one more topic at the beginning of february of this year , a statement was made by the north of the atlantic alliance with a de facto demand on russia, as they are expressed, to fulfill the treaty on strategic offensive arms, including the admission of nuclear facilities. well, not even i know how to call it you are some kind of theater of the absurd. we know that the west is directly involved in the attempts of the kiev regime to strike at the bases of our strategic aviation, the drones used for this were equipped and modernized with the assistance of nato specialists. and now they also want to inspect our defense facilities. in the modern conditions of today's

confrontation, this sounds like some kind of nonsense . just at the same time, i pay special attention to this, uh, we are not allowed to conduct full-fledged inspections under this agreement our repeated applications for the inspection of certain objects remain unanswered or are rejected on formal grounds. we can't do anything on the other side. i want to emphasize the united states and nato directly say that their goal is to inflict a strategic defeat on russia and that, after that, they are going to drive around our defense facilities, including the newest ones, as if nothing had happened a week ago, for example, we signed a decree on setting on combat duty of new ground- based strategic complexes. they're going to put it in there too. your nose and think so. we just

let them in, we'll just do it. by issuing its collective statement, by issuing its collective statement, nato actually made an application to become a party to the strategic offensive arms treaty. please the last statement of their leaders. this only confirms, listen. don't take this into account. we simply cannot but have the right, especially

today, as well as the fact that the first strategic offensive arms treaty was originally concluded by the soviet union and the united states in 1991 in a fundamentally different situation in the face of reduced tensions and strengthening of mutual trust , our relations subsequently reached a level where russia and the united states declared that they no longer consider each other adversaries. great, everything was very good. the current treaty of 2010 contains the most important provision on the indivisibility of security, and the direct interconnection of issues of strategic offensive and defensive weapons. the united states withdrew from the treaty, as you know, everything remained in

in the past, our relations, which is very important, have degraded and this is entirely the merit of the united states. it was they and it was they who , after the collapse of the soviet union, began to revise the results of world war ii to build an american-style world, in which there is only one master, one master. to do this, they began to rudely destroy all the foundations of the world order laid down after the second world war, in order to cross out the heritage and yalta, and under the lady, step by step, they began to revise the existing world order , dismantle the security and control system over weapons. they planned and carried out a whole series of wars around the world and everything, i repeat, with one goal to break the architecture of international relations created after the second world war. this is not a figure of speech. this is how everything happens in practice in life after the collapse of the ussr forever. they seek

to fix their global dominance, not counting the interests. modern russia , and with other interests of other countries , too, of course, the situation in the world after 1945 has changed, new centers of development and influence have been formed and are rapidly developing. this is a natural objective process that cannot be ignored, but it is not acceptable that the united states began to reshape the world order just for itself , solely in its own selfish interests. now, through nato representatives, they are giving signals, in fact, putting forward an ultimatum you russia russia including treaties, we will behave as we please. there is no connection between the problems and

, say, the conflict in ukraine, other hostile actions of the west against our country, just as there are no loud statement that they want to inflict a strategic defeat on us? well, don't call them idiots. after all, they are not stupid people who want to inflict a strategic defeat on us and climb on our nuclear facilities. in this regard , i am compelled to announce today that russia is suspending its participation in the treaty on strategic offensive defeats. i repeat. i repeat, it does not withdraw from the contract no,

namely, to suspend its part. well, before we return to the discussion of this issue. we must understand for ourselves what such countries still claim of the north atlantic alliance like france and great britain, and how we will take into account their strategic arsenals, that is , the alliance's combined strike potential. now they have made their statement, in fact, an application to participate in this process. and you don’t just need to try again to lie to everyone to build yourself out as champions of peace and rank. we know all the ins and outs , we know that the warranty periods of validity for combat use of certain types of nuclear weapons of the united states are expiring, and in this regard, some figures it is known for certain that they are already thinking about the possibility of natural tests of their

nuclear weapons. including taking into account the fact that the united states is developing new types of nuclear weapons. such information is available in this situation, the ministry of defense of russia and rusatom should be the first to ensure readiness for testing russian nuclear weapons. of course, we will not do this, but if the united states conducts a test, then we will conduct it, no one should have dangerous illusions that global strategic parity can be destroyed. dear knees dear citizens of russia, today we are going through a difficult difficult path together and overcoming all difficulties together , and it could not be otherwise, after all, we were brought up on the example of our great ancestors and are obliged to be worthy of their testaments, which are passed down from

generation to generation. we are only moving forward. thanks to the devotion to the motherland of the will and our unity. this solidarity manifested itself literally from the first days of the special military operation. hundreds of volunteers, representatives of all the peoples of our country, came to the military registration and enlistment office decided to stand next to the defenders of donbass to fight for their native land for the fatherland for the truth. and justice is now shoulder to shoulder on the front line, wars from all regions of our multinational motherland are fighting, their prayers are heard in different languages, but all of them are for the victory for comrades-in-arms for the motherland

. their hard military work, their feat find a powerful response throughout russia, people support our fighters. they don’t want to, they can’t stand aside, the front is now passing through the hearts of millions of our people, they are sending medical supplies to the front line communications equipment transportation warm clothes camouflage nets and so on. i know everything that helps to save the lives of our children, like letters from children of schoolchildren. they take them because they take them into battle. as the most precious thing, because

the understanding of what they are fighting for, who are they protecting is getting stronger in the fighters? it is very significant for the soldiers and their families for civilians and the tazabot that surrounds them volunteers from the very beginning the special operation does not act boldly and decisively under the fire of shelling they take everyone who is in trouble out of the basement into the children of the old people delivered to hot spots and still do this food. here, clothes are unwrapped for refugees of the humanitarian aid center , they help in field hospitals and on the line of contact, they save themselves at the risk and continue to save others. such a stream of donations goes on all the time. here , the contribution of everyone, both large companies and entrepreneurs, is equally important. well, they especially touch, touch and inspire when the situation is when people with

modest incomes transfer part of their savings, salaries and pensions. such unity to help our soldiers and civilians in the refugee war zone is worth a lot. thank you for this sincere support mutual assistance. they cannot be overestimated, russia russia will respond to any challenges, because we are all one country, one big and close-knit people, but self-confident, confident in their abilities, the truth is behind us. thank you

. what a very bright and solemn finale of one of the most capacious messages president to the federal assembly for all the years that they sounded in terms of duration, by the way, this speech among the messages can also become one of the longest ones . well, it’s absolutely certain that in terms of theses. she was as full as possible. if we talk about what the president said today , one can definitely single out several meaningful blocks at once. one of the central ones is, of course, the special military operation that russia is conducting

today with force stops the war that the west has unleashed, this is almost verbatim a quote from what the head of state said today, referring, of course, to the aggression against the then citizens themselves, who, of course, were active in ukraine. with the support of its western so-called partners, well, more precisely, the sponsors have been leading since 2014 and the main goal, which , of course, was not at all, of course, was not at all the search for compromises between those who are very different. looking at the coup d'etat that happened in ukraine, the main goal was, of course, the creation of an anti-russia project on the territory of neighboring ukraine, a project that as we see today, as we see throughout the last twelve months. it was quite successfully implemented on the territory of ukraine and could well have threatened real russia if

certain actions had not been taken, the main of which, of course, was first a special military operation for all this by the head of state. today i stopped by far not for the first time, but in order to talk about what steps should be taken in the future, of course , the president also stressed that it is very important to understand. where do we come from and what exactly the reasons prompt us to act today in exactly this way, and not otherwise, the fact that the north atlantic alliance is aggressively disposed towards russia, de facto, today it is waging a war both sanctions and quite a real one at the front. true, of course, not with their own foreign ukrainian hands, however, with western weapons. it's no longer a secret, of course. head of state. today , among other things, i spoke about the aggression that our state has been facing all the time and what measures it is taking to ensure that this aggression in our country is not

harmed the analysis, but the president's address to the federal assembly. we will of course be back on our air. but for now, i pass the word to my colleagues. yes, thank you anastasia. let's get back to you now, while chairman of the council of the federation valentina matvienko valentina ivanovna is in touch with us. hello. hello , the president's speech to the federal assembly has just ended. er, how would you sum up the message for 2023 in general, but i 'm really impressed. in my opinion the message is very powerful and in its own way content and for such an emotional charge of very respectful relations to the citizens of russia, uh, very uh, such a sincere attitude towards members of their own and families, and a message that has affected all spheres of life in our

country. all those questions that our citizens were waiting for answers to. in this i am sure the message is a creative message positive and in my opinion very much like that. optimistic, and at the beginning, vladimir vladimirovich was waiting for an absolutely concrete, truthful analysis of the international situation that has now developed in the world and e origins and current events. e around the ukrainian crisis. it seems to me that everything was stated so clearly and clearly that any unbiased person would not be able to find a single argument against it. uh, because this is a very truthful reflection of reality, in general, the message, in my opinion. you know this, uh . uh, a very specific program to

ensure a secure independent and dignified future for the future of our country. eh, and what about some general wishes? whole a the message is very detailed , detailed and already with specific mechanisms for the implementation of all those novels that are laid down in it. and what is very important. i was convinced of this once again, and i talked with a representative of the government; it is financially, er, all financial resources have been calculated for the implementation of the proposals that were made by the president. they will certainly be fulfilled for us, for legislators. as well as for the government for regional authorities. uh, hmm, they set clear , intelligible tasks and, taking into account the above mechanism. we are ready for their immediate uh, their implementation, and the legislation will have to

be clarified by you to make new laws. e as e set the task of the president , everything should happen. and what is called already today we are ready for such such work, the second. it seems to me that it is also important that the president so sincerely addressed the citizens of the country to everyone. e with a call for unity for solidarity. uh, so that everyone realizes their responsibility for the development of uh, and the fate of their homeland and this, i alone would also attribute the president’s appeal to leaders and owners of large companies. e that they must be from their homeland, they must work for the country on the site of domestic funds that are earned here. they should go to the development of the country, and it seems to me that in this way the president formulated the criteria for responsible

business. uh, all things considered , i'm sure that the business will hear one more message that i would like to note, on which it is speculating. our no others are those who are trying to rock the situation in russia that all the rights and freedoms of citizens, uh, with which they own in accordance with our constitution is unshakable, and they will certainly be fully implemented in the same way. it seems to me an important political signal in this regard that the planned regional local elections are on the single voting day. elections in september. uh, next year the president they will pass the terms and strictly in accordance with the law, therefore, well, those marked cards, yes, which our opponents are trying to play. they are thus dispelled, but in general, i think that it gave this message, you know, i would say this

the confidence of society, a very calm tone, e calm business tone and it would seem a new threat. well, the challenges of a special military operation and there is no emergency , but only a consistent movement of the country forward. and uh, most importantly, we know, we understand, we understand how to do it, and we will do it. eh, this is such a referent. it seems to me the whole message. and valentina ivanovna well, you have already noticed that here certain tasks for legislators were set by the president. this also applies to participants and the creation of a special fund. yes, yes, for support, but for participants in a special military operation. what exactly can you pay attention to here, but you know, um, when the president spoke about this and spoke, it was so soulful emotionally.
