President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues.

Today, we are holding our first meeting of 2026. The New Year holidays are behind us, and I must emphasise that all levels of government must now transition to intensive and systematic work.

The agenda includes a range of issues. I propose we begin by discussing how regions, including those near the line of contact, are managing the winter season, the functioning of our energy infrastructure, and measures to ensure the supply of electricity, heating, and water to households, businesses, and social institutions.

We will also address the situation in the transport sector, which is dealing with the aftermath of heavy snowfall and low temperatures.

In this regard, I would like to invite colleagues to share their reports. I suggest we begin with Irek Fayzullin. Mr Fayzullin, you have the floor.

To be continued.
