Putin's adaptive-sport plan Orders and long-term goals

May 28, 2025

Opening the May 28 council meeting, Putin describes adaptive sport as part of rehabilitation and inclusion, particularly for people wounded in the war. He contrasts the disabled population with limited participation and access, calls for a facility inventory by the end of 2025 and equipment provision by 2030, and seeks implementation of rehabilitation legislation. He asks for qualified prosthetics providers, domestic equipment production, information through television and Gosuslugi, and a July launch of the Russian Sports Fund. He proposes giving the final of the Defenders of the Fatherland Cup presidential-prize status, improving professional remuneration and rewards for Paralympic and Deaflympic performances, and revising the adaptive-sport concept through 2030 with a perspective to 2036 and an implementation plan. These are requests, commitments and targets, not completed measures. The publisher's matching transcript identifies the proposed provider list as a unified register; the working caption mistranscribes that noun.

Putin announces that the Defenders of the Fatherland Cup final will be held for the Prize of the President of Russia and asks the government to resolve associated arrangements. He discusses eligibility for military-operation participants and other combat and service veterans. Milyaev welcomes the decision; Degtyarev reports calendar inclusion and forthcoming regulatory work.
