Putin meets today for the first time with the cabinet composed of ministers, military commanders, the Federal Security Service and counterintelligence to meet the needs of the army
Given the setbacks suffered by Russian troops in Ukraine in the eight months that the “special military operation” lasted, a euphemism the Kremlin uses to refer to the war unleashed on February 24, President Vladimir Putin has ordered the “partial mobilization” of reservists and martial law in the four newly annexed areas of Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya).
In addition, Putin issued a decree last Friday establishing the Government Coordination Council “to meet the needs of the Russian armed forces, other troops, formations and military agencies” fighting in Ukraine. This new body, which, according to the presidential decree, aims to “strengthen the coordination of the activities of the federal executive authorities and the territorial entities of Russia during the special military operation”, will meet for the first time this Tuesday and will be chaired by the Russian president.
The meeting will be via videoconference and will be open, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov. Peskov explained that the main speakers will be Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, although Putin can also demand the appearance of members of the executive branch or ask them questions.
The Coordinating Council should today define the immediate tasks to ensure the needs of the troops deployed in Ukraine, the timetable for their implementation and the way in which the process can be monitored. According to the Russian agency Interfax, “the main areas for achieving such a goal include the provision of weapons, military equipment, material resources, medical and sanitation services, carrying out repair, construction, restoration and installation work., in addition to insuring logistics.
It is precisely in all these “important” areas, as the Russian authorities at various levels have repeatedly acknowledged, that there have been failures, shortcomings and shortcomings that have undermined the capacity of the Russian army and pro-Russian militias in Donetsk, Lugansk , Kherson and Zaporizhia.
This Coordinating Council has to solve problems related to the pricing of goods, works or services necessary to meet the demands of the war apparatus in Ukraine. Its role also includes ensuring the establishment of military infrastructure facilities, including equipping barracks, troop deployment sites, training camps and social facilities.
This new government structure will also coordinate the digitization, automation and support of defense information and analysis, including the creation of databases of mobilized personnel. Among its members are numerous ministers, including Defense, Interior, Energy, Finance, Finance, Civil Defense, the Directors of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Foreign Intelligence Service of Counterintelligence (SVR), the Chief of the Guard National, the Mayor of Moscow and members of the Kremlin government.
