Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev and cabinet submit resignation. Will update as details come in
This is something to watch. Putin is very quickly consolidating power and this must be watched very carefully
All ministers are stepping down but Putin has asked them to stay in their position until a new government is formed
It looks like some cabinet members were shocked by this. Also Putin decided to introduce the post of deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council and offer this position to Dmitry Medvedev.
Putin is the chairman of the Security Council. The Council also includes 11 permanent members, including the Secretary of the Council (now it is Nikolai Patrushev). Medvedev is one of the permanent members of the Security Council.
Putins statement to members
Putin suggested that Medvedev, as deputy chairman of the Security Council, deal with defense and security issues, which he did as president and prime minister.
This proposal to give more powers to parliament looks like preparation for 2024. This proposal would give powers to the lower house to nominate President and Prime Minister
