Enhance sports accessibility for individuals with disabilities in Russia, as per Putin's orders
In a videoconference meeting on May 28, President Vladimir Putin underscored Russia's commitment to promoting inclusivity in sports by focusing on the development of adaptive physical culture and sport. The ultimate goal is to make sport accessible for all, particularly people with physical peculiarities and limitations, irrespective of their residence, income, age, or fitness level.
Putin emphasized the importance of ensuring that sports activities are accessible for all individuals with disabilities. He highlighted the need for accessible infrastructure as well as the engagement of people in competitive practice. The President believes that engaging in sports can help individuals test themselves, foster communication, and broaden professional and social connections, ultimately leading to an active and eventful life.
In addition, Putin underlined the significance of supporting wounded warriors of the SVO (Special Military Operation), as this can help strengthen their self-belief and provide them with a sense of purpose in sports. Many of these veterans not only participate in sports but also become members of national teams and inspire others with their courage.
Regarding the human resource potential in adaptive sports, Putin highlighted the need for state support for athletes, specialists, and their coaches. Instructions to strengthen the personnel potential in this area and support young specialists have already been formulated.
Furthermore, Putin involves Paralympic athletes as co-authors of decisions in the field of adaptive sports, relying on their opinions and requests. Recently, Putin also tasked with developing proposals for preferential mortgages for families of participants in the SVO.
According to Alexei Dumin, the assistant to the President and the Secretary of the State Council, the Russian government, along with the Government, the Presidential Administration, the State Council, and public organizations, will collaborate to ensure that people with disabilities, who are millions of Russians, feel attention and care, and their lives improve.
In broader initiatives, the Russian government has committed to addressing the challenges faced by people with disabilities, including improving infrastructure in educational, sports, and other facilities across the country to ensure inclusivity and accessibility. Additionally, work on creating an efficient transport infrastructure has already begun, aiming to adapt cities, towns, and regions for people with disabilities. A significant investment of 150 billion rubles has been allocated for the creation of a fleet of special vehicles for people with disabilities by 2030.
These efforts underscore a broader commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in sports and daily life for people with disabilities in Russia.
