Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu with the decree he signed. Putin, who also dismissed Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev, appointed Shoigu as Russian Security Council Secretary. Putin suggested former Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov to replace Shoigu.
Following the presidential elections last March, the Russian government resigned, and during the week Putin reappointed Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin as prime minister. Mishustin is expected to form the new cabinet in the coming days.
