Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has fired his Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and named former Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Byeloussov as his successor. The Russian state agency Tass reported this on Sunday from the Federation Council, where Putin’s proposals for the composition of the new Russian government were received.
According to Russian news agencies, Putin makes Defense Minister Shoigu secretary of the Security Council. According to agency reports, Shoigu will replace Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.
Patrushev will be given a new task, the Kremlin said.
Putin wants to stay with Lavrov
According to the information, Putin wants to detain Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.
Putin began his fifth term in office
The previous government constitutionally resigned when Putin began his fifth term as president on Tuesday. The 71-year-old was confirmed in March in an election that was internationally criticized as neither free nor fair.
After Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s technocrat was reappointed on Friday, Putin’s first personnel plans for the future government were announced on Saturday.
