The Yekaterinburg–Tyumen highway will open in 2026.

      By 2026, it is planned to extend the federal M-12 "Vostok" highway, which connects Moscow and Yekaterinburg, to Tyumen, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin said in an interview with the Rossiya 24 TV channel.

      Khusnullin noted that in the coming years the main focus will be on repair work, but one of the key infrastructure projects will be the continuation of the M-12 highway. Parts of the route will be opened to traffic as early as 2025.

      "Next year we will focus on repairs, but one of the main tasks will be extending the route to Tyumen. In addition, we will implement hundreds of local projects that are important for the regions and in demand by residents," EAN quotes Marat Khusnullin as saying.

      Recall that plans have emerged to build a second transport ring around Tyumen in the period from 2026 to 2029. The new road will be 20 km long and will consist of four stages. It will become part of the M-12 "Vostok" motorway.

In Revda a granddaughter deceived her own grandfather by replacing 500,000 rubles with novelty banknotes from a gag bank. The pensioner saved part of his pension each month for a rainy day, not noticing that his granddaughter was swapping the real banknotes for fake ones.

She later confessed everything to her relative and returned all the money. The pensioner filed a petition stating that they had reconciled and that he did not want his granddaughter prosecuted. The court then softened the sentence and, instead of a custodial term, imposed a 40,000-ruble fine on Ekaterina, but she was even exempted from that punishment. Earlier, fraudsters had forced a pensioner from Sverdlovsk Oblast to sell her apartment.
