Today many people not only say that international law is embroiled in a crisis, but also that we need to reform the key supranational institutions that maintain the global world order. This could even involve replacing the United Nations with a new institution – <...> it is a human construct, after all

Our country lives in different material dimensions. I’m not talking only about money but also about opportunities. Our key task is to minimize these differences between regions so that regardless of where they live, people have normal living conditions, decent wages, the ability to choose work, normal housing, roads, medicine, and education

People in our country still experience hardship and seek social justice. [...] The people of our country should not have to bear it “until the bright future” but should see the results every day. People trust not beautiful presentations and words but what they see with their own eyes

Last year, GDP grew by more than 2%. Economic growth has been recorded for the third year in a row. But we are not satisfied with the quality of this growth. The most important thing is that the people of this country have yet to feel this growth

Financial markets and the banking system are generally stable. Unlike in many countries, the current situation here is satisfactory, which means a safe level of foreign debt, which has decreased over the past year by more than USD 60 billion. A positive balance of payments; a significant federal budget surplus of approximately 2.7% of the GDP. Growing international reserves – since the beginning of last year we have increased them by USD 43 billion [...] Unemployment remains at a record low of approximately 4.8% of the economically active population. As we expected, inflation at the beginning of the year increased to 5%, though we expect that in a year it will return to the target level

When we started working on the first national project, we had virtually nothing in terms of the most dangerous diseases. If you take cardiovascular pathology, [...] we have high-tech medical care, while the number of operations during that period was measured at figures of up to 100,000. At the time the national project was launched, there were 85,000–90,000 operations per year [...] Now we are doing about 1 million such operations

We should notget carriedaway by the game of numbers. Today, I mentioned a figure of 26 trillion roubles [for all national projects – Ed.]. It is a whole lot of money. But when we talk about this, we should keep in mind that people immediately convert these numbers into contemplation about what has changed for me personally. It is the most important thing

Normal living space, just a normal life should be everywhere. Therefore, this national project and all that our colleagues have been talking about is about normal human life in our communities. It is not a primary objective of what we do. Education and healthcare are important as well for an ordinary citizen. But still, judging from people’s reaction to certain decisions we make, first of all, they see what is going on around them
