Aisen Nikolayev and Petr Shamayev discuss Yakutia's proposals for federal budget

Yakutia's head, Aisen Nikolayev, held a working meeting with Petr Shamayev, a State Duma deputy representing the republic. The two sides discussed the main areas of parliamentary work and issues requiring attention at the federal level, according to sakha.gov.ru.

The meeting focused on proposals for the draft federal budget, which Shamayev is preparing together with State Duma deputy Galina Danchikova. Shamayev said it is essential for Yakutia that budget decisions take the republic's needs into account and support priority development areas.

Shamayev said the budget was formed by the previous convocation, but he and his colleagues are making their own adjustments and presenting proposals in relevant committees. His priorities include support for veterans of combat operations and participants of the special military operation, youth policy and development of rural areas. Nikolayev praised Shamayev for proving his devotion to the Motherland and said his experience would help defend Yakutia's interests at the federal level.
