United Russia unanimously supported the budget to cut spending on the federal cancer program by 97%.
All 329 party delegates who voted supported the draft budget for 2027. It is proposed to reduce the funding for the oncology project from 144.9 to 3.9 billion rubles. The Ministry of Health explains this by transferring the funds to the mandatory medical insurance system, but the cancer patients' association stated that this is manipulation and a "catastrophe".
