“Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova is in charge of... the creation of a special state fund that will provide support to veterans and families of deceased participants in the SVO, additional indexation of the minimum wage by 10% from January 1, 2024, ensuring the provision of maternity capital in new regions to families in which children have been born since 2007,” the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers said in a statement.

In addition, Golikova was appointed responsible for overseeing the issue of increasing the size of the social tax deduction for the cost of educating children and for their own education and medical expenses.

Earlier it became known that Putin's message to the Federal Assembly lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The President proposed to provide maternity capital in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to families in which children were born since 2007.

The Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, the founder of the National Parents' Committee, Irina Volynets, in an interview with RT, noted that this is a fair, correct initiative that will allow citizens of new regions "to feel like full members of our family."

First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy Denis Kravchenko said that maternity capital payments are an important part of the integration of new regions of Russia.
