As per the draft investment program for 2022, the amount of investments to be used will total RUB 1,757.687 billion, including RUB 1,427.229 billion planned for capital investments, RUB 77.025 billion allocated for the acquisition of non-current assets, and RUB 253.433 billion assigned for long-term financial investments.
