President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Oseyevsky, Rostelecom is a major Russian
telecommunications operator and an integrated provider of digital solutions.
Overall, it is a major corporation that covers almost all market segments across
the country.
What do you think about the current
situation, the state of the company, and its immediate and future goals you
want to achieve?
Rostelecom President Mikhail Oseyevsky: Mr President, last year, despite all the challenges and restrictions related to sanctions, we remained proactive in expanding our operations and emerged as the country’s biggest
telecommunications operator and digital services provider by the end of the year. We succeeded in increasing both our revenue and profit. This is
attributable to a large-scale investment effort, since we invested over 500
billion rubles over the past years. The strategy to diversify our operations
and promote import substitution also played a role.
Our strategy focuses on achieving
indicators set forth in the national development plan as per your Executive
Order. Allow me to highlight some of them.
The first indicator deals with
broadband Internet. By 2030, 97 percent of households across Russia must have access
to it. This is why we remain focused on expanding our fibre optic network. Last
year, we laid over 77,000 kilometres of cable, connecting over 900,000
households, including flats and single-family homes. Overall, Russia is making
great strides in achieving this indicator. We have been adding about three
percent every year, which suggests that we will deliver on this objective as set forth in your Executive Order.
To be
continued.
