“This is one of the fundamental issues that the government should deal with and the trade unions do it, no matter what, no matter what special operations, there is a complex dialogue in the tripartite commission between representatives of employers, trade unions and the government.

This dialogue continues,” the President of Russia said.

As Putin noted, the nominal incomes of Russians are growing, but the real ones "have become a little lower."

“We can solve these problems and we must do it,” he stressed.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that the Russian government would send an additional almost 59 billion rubles to the regions to increase the salaries of doctors.
