President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.

We have several items on the agenda. One of them deals with enabling the steady and responsive operation of the defence manufacturing complex.

The second item is a more practical, everyday aspect of life that holds special importance today, as the cold weather sets in with the possibility of ice on the roads, etc. We will discuss additional measures for ensuring road safety.

I suggest that we begin with this topic by giving the floor to Vladimir Kolokoltsev. Go ahead, please.
