Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed scientists to urgently develop an anti-ageing treatment to address the nation's declining life expectancy. The Health Ministry's directive aims to save 175,000 lives by 2030 and focuses on combating cellular ageing, cognitive decline, and sensory impairment. Researchers have expressed surprise at the suddenness and financial feasibility of the project. The initiative responds to recent data showing a drop in Russia's average life expectancy to 73.24 years.
