How much spent on border

In 2003-2011, 110 billion rubles were spent on the improvement of the state border. In September 2011, Vladimir Putin announced at a meeting in Sochi, which until 2020 to allocate 134 billion rubles for the resettlement of the border. According to the newspaper "Vedomosti"; It is almost five times less than the requested Rosgranitsa, the FSB and the Federal Customs Service. In this return to the issue and possibly to increase funding in the financial and economic bloc of the government border agencies pledged over three years.

In 2014, the federal target program "State Border of the Russian Federation" was introduced by the Accounting Chamber in the FTP list, which were funded by less than 90% in 2013.

In April 2015 the head of Rosgranitsa Konstantin Bulgakov said in an interview with RIA Novosti: "In the coming year to the fore the economy. It is necessary to solve the problem of limited financial resources. " He explained: "The money was less than 35% of what was planned. The funds from year to year less and less. " According Busygina in 2015 for the construction and repair checkpoints allocated 3 billion rubles, including 43 million -. At the Crimean facilities.

Equipment checkpoints recently conducted using mostly domestic equipment, an official in stresses.

But the funds are not enough: at the press conference said Bulgakova lack of funding: in particular, the agency does not receive 50% of the funding for the maintenance of checkpoints on the borders of Russia.

Establishment of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC) also requires the strengthening of external borders, in which Russia is helping partners. "The Russian government is very interested in the development of the Customs Union and the Eurasian Economic Union, in this regard, great attention is paid to Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, in particular the border crossing points at the external borders of these countries. For us it is a new topic, before we were not involved in setting up checkpoints on foreign territory, "- said Likhachev.

In Armenia, according to her, it is planned to open a representative office Rosgranitsa and three sledges packaged quarantine post will be equipped for the work of representatives of the relevant departments.

In Kyrgyzstan, according to Likhachev, an urgent need to create the necessary conditions on the border crossings - at the external borders of the state (with China), but as long as everything is in the development stage.

OKRussian assistance to Kyrgyzstan Azan logical: if you do not equip checkpoints and the border with China, he devalued the EAEC as continue unregulated supply of Chinese products, but at the very republic funds for these works there, said the deputy director of the CIS Institute Vladimir Zharikhin. As with Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia everything is done by agreement with the government, so to speak of Moscow's intervention is not necessary, says Zharihin. The United States, he said, are also present on the borders of the North Atlantic alliance to a much greater extent than Russia on the borders of its allies - is in a certain sense, the legacy of the postwar world.
