Russian President Vladimir Putin has identified the priorities of the government, which are to work to increase the income and well-being of Russian citizens.

Meeting with Executive Body Director

At a meeting with the director of the Executive Body Dmitry Aristov, the President of Russia pointed out that the level of salaries and welfare of Russians should increase, and Putin called on the Executive Body to properly deal with (insolvent) debtors.

He said: “The level of wages, and in general the well-being of the people, should increase. We should always focus on this, although the situation on the labor market is stable. However, you (the law enforcement agencies) have your tasks and you need to fulfill these tasks, but you need to work directly with citizens.”
