Economy
2024: Growth of budget revenues by 28.4% to 390.5 billion rubles
In 2024, the budget revenues of the DPR increased by 28.4% compared to 2023. On February 10, 2025, the head of the republic, Denis Pushilin, reported to the president. Russia Vladimir Putin
The law on the execution of the DPR budget for 2023 states that revenues were approved in the amount of 304.1 billion rubles, of which tax and non-tax revenues amounted to 54.8 billion rubles, and gratuitous revenues - 249.3 billion rubles. Thus, taking into account an increase of 28.4% in 2024, the budget revenues of the DPR reached about 390.5 billion rubles.
 | In terms of income growth, we also make an absolute emphasis. In the past [2024] year, the result is 28.4 percent better than in 2023. This year we also plan to increase revenues, "Pushilin said. |  |
According to him, for the first time the three-year (for 2025-2027) budget of the republic was approved, which will increase the possibilities of planning, as well as responding to people's requests. The active development of the health sector and the educational sector continues.
| | And if we talk about the educational system, about general education and preschool institutions, we have planned an increase of 5.2 billion rubles this year, that is, the budget will already amount to more than 34 billion rubles, "Pushilin emphasizes. | |
The head of the DPR spoke in favor of creating a regional fund to support science. In order to coordinate work on the implementation of the strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation in the region, it is planned to form a special council. It will include scientists, teachers, representatives of executive authorities, local self-government, business and social activists. It is assumed that special attention will be paid to applied science, which will help in the revival of Donbass. Measures are also being prepared to additionally motivate young specialists.
2023
Receiving billions of rubles from the state budget of the Russian Federation
both Donetsk Luganskaya People's Republics Zaporozhskaya Hersonskaya and regions received about 513 billion rubles gratuitous revenues from the federal budget in 2023. This is evidenced by the agency's data ACRE published in January 2024. For calculations, analysts took advantage of the latest available data from the "" system for Electronic budget December 28, 2023. More. here
The creation of a FEZ in the DPR was approved
On June 20, 2023, the State Duma adopted in the third (final reading) a bill on the creation of a free economic zone (FEZ) in the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, as well as Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. The next day, this initiative was approved by the Federation Council.
The law establishes a special regime of entrepreneurial and other activities in the FEZ in these territories. It provides for the peculiarities of urban planning and land use when placing objects necessary for the implementation of projects by investors, a special regime of taxation and taxation of insurance premiums, the application of the free customs zone procedure in new territories of the Russian Federation. The FEZ management bodies determine the federal executive body authorized by the government in the field of the creation and functioning of the FEZ and the management company (MC), which means the public law company "Territory Development Fund."
The Ministry of Construction believes that the creation of the FEZ will allow "to ensure sustainable socio-economic development of new subjects." It is planned that the zone will be valid until the end of 2050. For comparison: the term of operation of the FEZ in Crimea and Sevastopol is until the end of 2039.
The FEZ participant must be registered in the territory of new regions or have branches there. The volume of investments for work in the economic zone will be 30 million rubles, for small businesses - 3 million rubles, for IT companies - 1 million rubles.
The measure is important for new entities, it will contribute to the development of industry, agriculture, infrastructure, allow investors to invest in the modernization of existing industries, the construction of new enterprises, said Sergei Gorokhov, a member of the General Council of Business Russia. Executive Director of Opora Rossii Andrei Shubin considers the initiative useful for business. At the same time, he mentioned the need to improve, among other things, insurance measures for companies that will operate in new territories in the context of ongoing hostilities.[2]
Recovery of kaolin production
Donbass allowed Russia to import substitute white refractory clay (kaolin). Without enrichment, primary kaolin is used in the production of acid-resistant refractories, faience and construction ceramics, as well as portland cement.
Enriched kaolin is used wider and in large volumes: in the paper industry (in coated paper from 35 to 40% kaolin), the production of ceramics - it is one of the most important components of porcelain-faience production. Plus, enriched kaolin is used to make catalysts that speed up the process of cleaning oil and gas, as well as as a filler in the production of plastics, rubber, linoleum, various pastes, creams and ointments.
Until 2022, 90% of white refractory clay Russia was imported from Ukraine, but with the beginning of the SVO, supplies stopped.
Dependence on kaolin was rooted in the Soviet years and the peculiarities of the then planning. The Ukrainian SSR accounted for a quarter of the world's kaolin reserves, and its deposits stretch in a strip 350 km wide and 1000 km long from Polesie to the Azov region. It is not surprising that kaolin was mined in Ukraine, and no one was seriously interested in Russian reserves: they are poorer and are at a solid distance not only from the centers of kaolin consumption, but also from transport communications.
But in the spring of 2022, after the liberation of Volnovakha (DPR) and part of the Volnovakha region, another large kaolin deposit appeared in Russia - Belaya Balka, 10 km west of Volnovakha (DPR). The thickness of the deposits in the central section of the field is 22 meters, the total volume of reserves is 9 million tons, of which primary kaolin is about 7 million tons.
The quarry area is 30 hectares. Until 2022, kaolin at the field was produced by Donbasskeramika, which was absorbed by the French mining giant Imeris in 2001. Production was resumed in the spring of 2023, and now the quarry will give Russia about 300 thousand tons of kaolin per year, closing, if not all, then certainly most of Russia's needs in this mineral.
High prospects for the Azov rare-earth deposit
The Azov rare earth metal deposit with an area of 100 hectares near the village of Volodarskoye, or 25 km from the Mariupol railway station.
The Azov deposit of zirconium ores in the Donetsk region was explored back in the days of the USSR. The main search work on the territory of the Azov structure was carried out on zirconium ores in 1988-1992 by the Priazov expedition of the Yuzhukrgeologiya Communist Party. In the early 2000s, its industrial assessment was carried out.
The reserves of the Azov rare earth deposit exceed the reserves of rare earth ores of known industrial deposits in Canada. The preliminary geological and economic assessment of the Azov field unequivocally showed its industrial significance.
The Azov deposit belongs to the category of very large rare earth deposits with rich ores (promising reserves - more than 500 thousand tons of zirconium dioxide with their content in ores up to 1-2%).
The commercial value of the deposit is significantly increased by the presence of large zirconium reserves in the ores (about 1 million tons of ZrO2 with a content of 1.4%). In terms of the cost of yttrium and lanthanum, it is three times richer than the Lovozersky deposit (1.2 million tons of useful minerals) on the Kola Peninsula and is comparable to such unique fields in the world as Baiyun-Obo (PRC) and Mountain Pass (USA).
The most explored in the region is the Mazurovskoye field, located in the Volnovakhsky district of the DPR.
16 ore deposits with commercial content of tantalum, niobium and zirconium, as well as the accompanying valuable component - nepheline were identified here. Total ore reserves - more than 200 million tons. The first ore deposit of the deposit has already been partially worked out by the open method for 15 years. After the ore was enriched and processed by the structural division of MMK named after Ilyich, more precisely, his factory, which in Soviet times was called the Donetsk Chemical and Metallurgical Plant, received zirconium concentrate. Then Mazurovskoye was considered a deposit of only zircon. By the early 1990s, the extraction of rare and rare earth metals was suspended.
A technogenic deposit is also of industrial interest - a hydraulic scrap of an enrichment plant, composed of "tails" from waste from processing rare metal ores for twenty years, in 1947-1964, and this is 2 million tons of ore and waste. In terms of mineralogical and chemical composition, the concentration wastes are identical to the composition of the main ores of the Mazurovsky deposit.
Talks about the resumption of production at these fields have been going on for more than 20 years, but no real progress in this direction has occurred during this time. And attempts to start zirconium production at the Azov field during Ukraine began three times: in 2004, 2012 and 2021, but to no avail.
Problems with coal mining
Coal - anthracite, energy and coking - in the bowels of the LPR and DPR over 10 billion tons, but by 2023 their production does not exceed 2.5% of the all-Russian one.
It will not be possible to quickly solve the problems of the coal industry.
Part of the mines is located on the front-line territory and is under fire, half of the miners have been fighting since last year, and coal exports are difficult due to logistics problems. The power of different levels - both republican and federal - the problems of the industry are aware and trying to mitigate them.
So, in the Telmanovsky district of the DPR, a railway line is being laid, which will allow connecting Mariupol and Donetsk, opening the shortest path for coal exports. In addition, the design of the railway on the territory of the Northern Azov region is underway, thanks to which the DPR, as well as the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions will receive reliable railway communication with the rest of Russia.
Attempts are being made to improve the financial condition of coal mining enterprises - the authorities are actively looking for investors who are ready to invest in increasing production volumes. Work is underway to expand the sales market for coal: coal power units are being restored at the Lugansk TPP so that the station can stimulate coal production, negotiations are underway to export black gold to African countries.
However, the problems of the industry are objective in nature, it will take years to solve them.

According to the head of the department Maksut Shadayev, more than 1.8 thousand base stations have been deployed in new regions. By the end of 2023, this figure should grow to 2558 units, and by the beginning of March 2024 - to exceed 2.7 thousand pieces of equipment. Read more here.
Installation of base stations for 22 billion rubles
The Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media of the Russian Federation has agreed on the installation of 400 base stations of cellular communication in the DPR until March 1, 2024. This became known on March 20, 2023.
As Deputy Minister of Communications of the DPR Ruslan Lebedev told Vedomosti. 400 base stations will have to be built in the DPR "Phoenix" (GUP DPR "ROS") and other telecommunications operators who want to start working in the region.
| | There are plans to install additional base stations in the DPR, agreed by the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation and brought to mobile operators, Lebedev said. | |
According to him, Phoenix is fulfilling the plans at its own expense and all the necessary equipment has already been purchased. Lebedev did not specify the names of the equipment manufacturers. By March 20, 2023, the company had completed the installation of more than 50 base stations, other operators "are conducting design and survey work," the deputy minister told the publication.
At the same time, budget financing for their purchase is not provided, so operators will do all the work at their own expense. They can involve other contractors to build stations.
In 2023, Roskomnadzor will need to assess the signal level in the territories and draw up a plan for installing base stations in places where it does not catch communication.
According to the newspaper, plans for the construction of base stations have been developed for other new regions, and the total amount of financing for construction is tentatively estimated at 22 billion rubles. Experts interviewed by the newspaper believe that this amount will be enough for about 1200 stations (15-18 million rubles for one each, taking into account the delivery, installation of the station, as well as the laying of an optical fiber cable and other work), which will only be enough to improve the existing coverage, and not completely replace the current equipment and install new at once in four regions.[3]

SMEV, 11 thousand computers for officials and hundreds of base stations. How the digitalization of the DPR took place in 2024
In 2024, as part of the digitalization of the DPR authorities, 13.6 thousand automated workplaces were introduced on the Astra operating system. Of these, 684 are equipped with cryptographic information protection tools. Acting Minister of Communications of the DPR Denis Kurashov on February 10, 2025 announced the results of work within the framework of the program of socio-economic development of new territories.
In 2024, the republican telecom operator Phoenix launched 697 base stations in the DPR, which made it possible to significantly expand the coverage area of mobile communications in the region. In total, since the republic became part of Russia in September 2022, 1355 base stations have been installed.
Federal information systems are being actively introduced in the republic. 57 organizations are connected to the interdepartmental electronic document management system, including 29 executive bodies, 21 local self-government bodies and 7 state unitary enterprises. 169.9 thousand incoming letters were processed through the system, of which 47.4 thousand requests from citizens, and 226.4 thousand outgoing documents were sent.
Significant successes have been achieved in the development of digital services for the population. On the territory of the DPR, 71 federal and 2 regional socially significant services are available through the State Public services portal. As part of the implementation of the Feedback Platform, 1646 personal accounts of organizations were created, about 5 thousand user accounts were added and 374 widgets were posted on the websites of organizations.
In 2024, the republican operator mastered the broadcasting frequency of 2600 MHz. Pilot projects for the modernization of base stations were implemented in the Voroshilovsky district of Donetsk and Makeevka, which made it possible to achieve mobile Internet speeds of up to 150-200 Mb/s at certain coverage points.
In 2025, it is planned to supply an additional 11.2 thousand automated workplaces for the DPR authorities, including 3.3 thousand computers for working with personal data. It is also planned to install more than 500 new communication base stations in the republic.[4]
Creation of a single digital control system for heat supply
In the Donetsk People's Republic, a single digital dispatch system for managing heat supply facilities was deployed, to which six boiler houses are already connected. This became known in early December 2024.
The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin checked the readiness of the new dispatch room for work and announced plans to connect two more boiler houses in Donetsk and 39 in Makeevka by the end of the year.
In the
It is noted that the system uses modern domestic software that is successfully used at thermal power facilities in other cities of Russia. The digital control room allows you to monitor the operation of boiler houses from a single center in real time.
As part of the modernization of the heat and power complex in February 2025, the boiler house of the quarter 95 of the Donetsk Thermal Network branch will be connected to the system, providing heat to six residential buildings, a hospital, a sports complex and other facilities in the Voroshilovsky district of Donetsk.
With the support Moscow of specialists "" in Mosgas the boiler house of quarter 95, five outdated boilers were replaced by three modern units. The modernization made it possible to increase thermal power while increasing the efficiency of the equipment.
The new technical equipment of the boiler house ensures the possibility of its integration into the regional dispatching system. Until the end of the heating season, it is planned to combine 45 heat supply facilities into a single network.
The introduction of a digital control system is aimed at improving the reliability of heat supply to consumers and reducing the load on boiler house personnel. Modernization of enterprises of the heat and power complex of the republic continues within the framework of the infrastructure development program.
The creation of a single dispatch system is part of a large-scale project to digitalize the public utilities of the DPR, aimed at improving the efficiency of heat supply management and the quality of public service.[5]

How large IT companies in Russia master the markets of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions - TA opinions
New regions are less mastered by Russian IT companies, and in general, during the SVO period, the level of digitalization has sagged here. The Russian government has taken a course towards reducing the backlog in new territories in the level of development of digital technologies and services, so for about two years ready-made IT solutions and digital services have been actively introduced here. Large IT companies are gradually entering the markets of the DPR,, and LPR Hersonskaya. Zaporozhskaya regions The editors TAdviser dealt with this topic in September 2024.
According to Andrei Kozlov, General Director of the developer of document flow automation systems EOS Soft, we can confidently say that IT companies are mastering new regions. Ready-made IT solutions and digital services are being actively introduced there, projects are being implemented in the field of digitalization of public administration (including on the implementation of EDMS), the development of communication infrastructure (including to provide access to mobile Internet), an electronic government infrastructure is being created so that the population can use the Public services portal and state IPs, electronic services and services in the field of education and medicine, he listed in a conversation with TAdviser.
Kozlov noted that less actively, but still, the development of IT services for business is underway. In general, in these regions, the problem of a shortage of IT specialists is quite serious, so the state is directing significant efforts to popularize IT specialties and support specialized education, the source added. GIS of electronic workflow and document management "Delo," created by the company "EOS Soft," was launched in the DPR in March 2024.
The IT integrator Servionica and the Innotekh group (both part of the T1 holding) published vacancies in the Donetsk People's Republic on the hh.ru portal. In particular, companies are looking for the head of the regional division with experience in the field of service from three years. The level of salaries for this vacancy is not indicated, but it appears in another vacancy of "Servionica" in the DPR - a technical support engineer. The company is ready to pay him 87 thousand rubles "in hand." T1 explained the intention to enter the DPR "customer request."
| | Acting as a technological partner of large federal companies, we promptly respond to new business needs and expand our regional presence with it, including in new territories, the holding's press service noted. | |
The Red Software company and the authorities of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) previously concluded a cooperation agreement, its first step will be the free transfer of licenses of the domestic operating system "Red OS" to schools in the region. In addition, the parties agreed to organize working groups on import substitution in IT. At the time of publication of the material (September 18, 2024), Red Software was unable to provide comments at the request of TAdviser.
Earlier in 2024, it became known that Aquarius produced 35 thousand personal computers, which were delivered to the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. According to CNews, the purchase cost could be 1.7 billion rubles. The source of the publication admitted that during 2024 another 80 thousand could be shipped to new regions. PC.
Another IT company that has begun to master new regions of the Russian Federation is PravoTech (a developer of digital solutions for automating legal processes). This vendor has developed software for accounting for shelling of citizens and civil infrastructure in the DPR. The system is a single electronic register that contains data on the dead and wounded as a result of shelling, as well as on damaged civilian infrastructure.
According to the market participants surveyed by TAdviser, in new regions there is serious potential for a significant expansion of the presence of products, services, services, in general for the development of IT infrastructure. In addition, the LPR, DPR, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions need early integration into the state information infrastructure of Russia, the creation and implementation of state IT systems, the interlocutors are sure.
Kirill Kondratenko, deputy general director of Pravtech, believes that companies in new regions need standard IT products to organize their work: software, information security solutions, operating systems, etc. This market is not yet saturated.
Small and medium-sized businesses also need digitalization - there is no serious demand here yet, continues Kodratenko. The main problem that IT companies will face in new regions is a personnel shortage. Specialists who know how to work with digital products are not yet objectively enough, he states.
Another barrier that prevents IT companies from developing new territories is the risks to business associated with political and, as a result, economic instability in these regions.
| | But these risks, in my opinion, for digital business, for IT companies, are less than, for example, for production enterprises, for the service sector and other areas whose activities require the constant placement of industries, offices, warehouses in new territories, "says Andrei Kozlov from EOS Soft. | |
T1 and Red Software, which began working in the DPR, previously fell under US sanctions. T1 CEO Alexei Fetisov said that the systemic restrictions did not affect the work of the company, since the holding works mainly with domestic customers.
| | The key focus for the holding is exactly what the sanctions are directed against - import substitution and work to achieve technological sovereignty, he said. | |

History
2024: Liberation of a significant part of the republic from the armed forces of Ukraine
In the Pokrovsko-Dzerzhinsky direction, Russian troops managed to achieve significant success in 2024. In early January 2024, the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdeevka industrial zone west of Yasinovataya was broken through, and already on February 17, as a result of a competently planned operation, a large city and one of the outposts of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the site was taken.
After that, the main units of the RF Armed Forces rushed north, paving the way along the railway towards the large settlement of Ocheretino. The battle for the village was predetermined by the fleeting battle for the SNT "Zarya," where it was possible during the rotation of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to take a number of key positions and flee one of the enemy's TRO brigades, which led to the local collapse of the front. "Flower Ocheretino" opened in full force in May - June, when the RF Armed Forces significantly advanced in three directions from the village. Most of all to the west and south.
Already at the beginning of September, the city of Novogrodovka was liberated almost without a fight, battles began for Selidovo. Although the city could not be taken from the swoop in September, but pulling up reserves and "pulling up" the flanks, Russian attack aircraft took the garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village into a semicircle. And by the end of October, during a week of fighting, the city was liberated.
At the end of 2024, battles are taking place a few kilometers from the southern outskirts of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd - the last large settlements and the most important fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this sector of the front.
As for the central section, there, after the liberation of Maryinka at the end of December 2023, Russian troops concentrated their main efforts on Krasnogorovka, a large city in the suburbs of Donetsk, which remained under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Battles for the settlement began in early March shortly after the liberation of Avdeevka. It was here that the use of "tsar tanks" and "barbecues" with electronic warfare was first noted, which at first made it possible to achieve significant results in securing attack aircraft in the center of Krasnogorovka.
During long and heavy battles in early September, the last node of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the west of Donetsk fell, after which the number of shelling from the receiver artillery of the capital of the DPR gradually came to naught, and Russian troops rushed to Kurakhovo, the battles for which continue at the end of 2024.
Towards the end of August, the Dzerzhinsky agglomeration became another point of attraction. The configuration of the front has not changed here since 2014, so the enemy managed to equip a sufficient number of fortified positions on the site. In early July, as a result of competent actions, it was possible to break through the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Novgorod, and on August 20 the settlement was liberated. At the same time, there was an offensive from Gorlovka, where Russian troops liberated several settlements in the suburbs of Dzerzhinsk. By the end of the year, approximately 60% of the city is under the control of the Russian army.
The breakthrough of the Avdeevsky fortified area and the rapid advance of the Center group of forces further to the West made it possible to move the front away from Donetsk and secure the long-suffering city.
That near Vremyevka, that near Kurakhovo, Russian troops, perhaps, managed to achieve the most significant success in 2024: Ugledar and a number of other surrounding settlements are occupied, the territory from Kurakhovo and south of Vremyevka are taken under control.
After several years of fighting and at the cost of considerable losses in early October, Ugledar was released. Later, the control zone was significantly expanded both to the north and northwest of the city. The successes here allowed the Russian Armed Forces to advance north, take Razdolnoye and come close to Bolshaya Novoselka, almost starting the battles for the liberation of the strategic settlement.
In this area, Russian attack aircraft operate in places where they did not enter in the first days of a special military operation.
If at first to the south of Vremyevka there were heavy oncoming battles in Urozhayny and Staromayorsky, then in the summer by the middle of 2024 the assault units of the Russian Armed Forces were able to turn the tide of hostilities and free both settlements. Although after that there was a kind of operational pause, which lasted until the fall.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation significantly advanced both north and east of the city of Kurakhovo, Tsukurino, Georgievka, Novomikhailovka, Maksimilyanovka and dozens of other settlements were taken. By the end of the year, Kurakhovo itself was liberated by more than 80%, fighting in the industrial zone on the western outskirts of the city's administrative borders.
In the vicinity of Victory, the RF Armed Forces managed to break into the fortified defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine southeast of Kurakhovo and achieve success in the Ikryanaya beam area. This toponym appeared in the reports for almost the entire year: here the Far Eastern fighters walked from the fall of 2023 and ultimately were able to first break through to the strategic route Ugledar - Konstantinovka and go further west.
The liberation of Ugledar and the approach to the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region became one of the most important victories at the front from a psychological point of view.
