The President spoke about the priorities in the department's work. 

 Vladimir Putin: I would like to thank the leadership and personnel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for their responsible approach to the performance of their official duties. I would especially like to mention those who serve in Donbas, Novorossiya, and the Kursk region.

In difficult conditions, you worked with dignity and professionalism, did everything to help people, protect law and order, and ensure the rhythmic, daily work of territorial units, and their workload is heavy. So, last year, the certification of residents of the liberated areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions was almost completely completed.

In the sphere of your responsibility and important issues of anti-terrorist protection of social and transport infrastructure facilities, mass stay of people, I ask you to pay special attention to this area, including during the upcoming celebrations on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.

The police began to solve murders, robberies and apartment thefts more often. Street crime has also decreased. Special attention is paid to the fight against cyberbullying. Last year alone, the damage in this area exceeded 200 billion rubles. In addition, the President demanded that the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs respond harshly and promptly to manifestations of extremism and religious intolerance. 

Vladimir Putin also instructed the government to prepare proposals to provide the Interior Ministry with personnel.

 Vladimir Putin: I know that there is a growing shortage of personnel in the Interior Ministry system, especially in the primary sector. The Minister constantly raises these issues, and the problem is, of course, complex and systemic, requiring solutions in all areas.

I am referring to strengthening social guarantees, increasing employee salaries – which, of course, as they say in such cases, should be competitive – and, of course, addressing housing and other social issues.

I ask the Government, together with the Interior Ministry, to prepare specific proposals on all these issues and submit them for consideration. Admittedly, these issues are overdue. 

Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev spoke about the results of the department's work over the past year. And after his report, Vladimir Putin made statements regarding the role of the Interior Ministry in the conditions of the special operation. 

Vladimir Putin's big speech at an expanded meeting of the Board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The fight against corruption, illegal migration, and drug trafficking... One of the important tasks is to ensure security on the eve of Victory Day celebrations.

Among the topics on the Interior Ministry's agenda, the president outlined issues of migration, cybercrime, and the need for a rapid response to extremism. The topic of corruption in the implementation of national projects, the number of road accidents in Russia, the mechanisms for the return of compatriots to their homeland, and more were also discussed.

At the beginning of his speech, Putin praised the work of the department and called for maintaining positive trends in 2025. He noted the work of those who are in Donbass, Novorossiya, and the Kursk region, called their work decent and professional, and summed it up by stating that residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions have been certified "almost in full."

The President spoke about the problem of crimes using information technology, of which a quarter of the victims are pensioners. According to him, the number of cybercrimes is growing, and their detection rate, on the contrary, has decreased to 23%. The total damage from cyberbullying amounted to 200 billion rubles.

At the same time, Putin said that a decrease in street crime has been recorded in Russia. In addition, as the President noted, the detection rate of murders, assaults and burglaries is improving. The number of recidivism cases is also decreasing, he stressed. Developing the issue of crime, the President pointed out the need to continue successfully preventing the participation of young people in it, as well as in drug trafficking and cybercrime.

Putin called illegal migration a separate problem. According to him, it is necessary to update the concept of migration policy as early as 2025 in order to do this as soon as possible. He called for the suppression of illegal migration processes and the use of control tools. In addition, the president ordered to explore the possibility of switching from a paper migration card to an electronic one.

It is necessary to develop mechanisms for the return to their homeland of compatriots and foreigners who have left, who "share our traditional values," and especially if they have an education and are needed by the Russian economy, Putin said.

On the issue of road accidents, Putin noted a positive trend, pointing to a halving in the number of accidents in Russia over 20 years. At the same time, the president stressed that this is not enough yet. He called the reduction of deaths in road accidents at least one and a half times by 2030 a guideline.

Putin called on the Interior Ministry to respond "harshly and promptly" to extremism in Russia. It is important to fight both national and religious intolerance and aggressive militant radicalism, the President explained. In his opinion, preventive work should also be used, including, for example, discussions with civil society institutions.

In addition, Putin pointed out the need to "not slow down the pace of the fight" against corruption. It is she who hinders the development of the economy, the social sphere, and the labor market, the president recalled. He asked to pay special attention to the supervision of embezzlement in the implementation of state defense orders, national projects and other programs.

In conclusion, Putin stated that he was aware of the problem with personnel in the Interior Ministry system. They are related to the need to increase social guarantees for employees, address housing issues, and others. "These issues are overdue," the president concluded. Putin instructed the government, together with the Interior Ministry, to prepare solutions to these problems.

— Vladimir Putin: In the context of the armed conflict imposed on us, the entire law enforcement sphere and its key link, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, should certainly build all their activities based on these threats, which certainly arise in the current situation.

Order, discipline, and strict observance of the law must be absolutely ensured and guaranteed. In no case should any looseness be allowed in any field of activity.

You are all people in uniform, as well as our soldiers who are doing their duty to the Motherland on the line of contact.

But you have your own tasks, and everything we do both on the front line and here must be subordinated to one single logic and one goal — victory, must be subordinated to achieving the tasks set before us, ensuring the security of the state and the future of Russia.
