Poverty rate in Russia fell to 7.2 percent

The poverty rate in Russia has significantly decreased over the past ten years. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

It was announced that it dropped from 11.3 percent to 7.2 percent. Vladimir Putin emphasized this in his speech and statements at the WHA plenary session.

More than 70 state representatives are participating in the session, where they are familiarizing themselves with Russia's strategies for development in economic, technological, and ecological fields. According to Putin, conditions will be created for the extensive use of drone technologies in combating fires in agricultural lands and forest areas.

This will save resources and ensure rapid response to emergencies. Additionally, the "Trans-Arctic Route" will be developed in the country.

This route will allow full utilization of the potential of Russia's rivers and significantly improve the transport network. Air traffic between Russia and North Korea is planned to be restored.

The bridge being constructed over the Tumanaya River is expected to be put into operation next year. These measures serve the country's sustainable development.
