More than 3.8 billion rubles will be allocated to a number of regions to reimburse expenses for extinguishing forest fires in the spring and summer of 2026. The order on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Funding will be received by 10 regions. These are the Komi Republic, Kamchatka, Krasnoyarsk and Khabarovsk Krais, Irkutsk, Tomsk, and Jewish Autonomous Oblasts, Khanty-Mansiysk, Chukotka, and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs.

Due to the remoteness and inaccessibility of the forests in these areas, additional forces and equipment were involved in firefighting, including An-2 airplanes and Mi-26, Mi-8, and Mi-8MTV helicopters, capable of carrying personnel from the parachute firefighting service. This made it possible to prevent the situation from worsening and to stop the spread of fire to settlements and economic facilities.

By the same order, Krasnoyarsk Krai was allocated 141 million rubles to compensate expenses for organizing fire hazard monitoring in forests using aviation.

Speaking about the decision made at the Government meeting on September 30, Mikhail Mishustin noted that it is important to continue carefully monitoring the situation in the forests in order to prevent the spread of fire.

An order has also been signed to allocate over 278 million rubles to reimburse the expenses of federal state budgetary institutions for extinguishing forest fires in specially protected natural areas of federal significance. Funds for these purposes will come from the Government’s reserve fund.
