The President, via video link, officially opened new sections of the M12 and M5 motorways and the Yekaterinburg Ring Road to traffic. Main statements:
🔸This project is another important step towards building a reliable transcontinental route connecting the west and the east of Russia.
🔸High-speed motorways with good infrastructure are of immense strategic importance to the country. They help attract investment and increase exports, contribute to economic growth and improve living standards.
🔸It is our plan to finish the Moscow-Kazan-Yekaterinburg motorway by the end of 2024. Along with the existing Neva motorway, the road will reduce the travel time between St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg by nearly a half.
🔸There is still a lot of work ahead when it comes to building effective and convenient transport connections in eastern and southern Russia. Developing major logistics centres is an important aspect of this work.

Video address to the participants of the opening ceremony for the restored Saur-Mogila memorial complex
“Today marks a momentous event for all of us – residents of Donbass, citizens of Russia, and the Great Patriotic War veterans – the opening of the newly restored Saur-Mogila memorial complex. Restoring it is all about reviving the memory of the exploits and heroes of the generation of victors, those who, without sparing themselves, liberated Donbass from Nazi invaders, bravely fought for the Donetsk steppes and the banks of the Mius River, as well as the height of the ancient Saur-Mogila, which was an important foothold during the Red Army’s offensive in the summer of 1943.
This military operation began at almost the same time as the Battle of Kursk and played a great role in reversing the course of the Great Patriotic War,” the President noted.

During a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council, Vladimir Putin commented on the situation with grain supplies to the poorest countries under the UN Food Programme
The President noted that, out of the 87 ships that left Ukrainian ports with grain, 32 remained in Turkey, three proceeded to South Africa, three to Israel, seven to Egypt, 30 to the European Union and only two to the poorest countries, under the UN Food Programme.
"Obviously, we cannot influence this process - specifically, how much food goes where, but overall, we believe it would be right to increase supplies to the poorest countries," the President stressed.
