The Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration, Dmitri Kozak, is resigning from his position at the Kremlin. The announcement was made by Russian political scientist Arkadii Dubnov and journalist Aleksei Venediktov, reports IPN.
Political scientist Dubnov has announced, referring to sources from Moscow, that Dmitri Kozak is voluntarily leaving his position as deputy of the presidential administration. He added that Kozak was promised the position of permanent representative of President Vladimir Putin in the North-West Federal District of Russia.
The information about Kozak’s resignation has not yet been confirmed by the Kremlin.
Recently, sources from the Kremlin told the New York Times that Dmitri Kozak presented President Vladimir Putin with a plan to end the war in Ukraine. He also suggested implementing several internal reforms in Russia, including comprehensive control over security forces and the establishment of an independent judicial system.
Dmitri Kozak is one of Vladimir Putin’s most long-standing allies. Previously, many of his responsibilities were transferred to another presidential adviser. These concern the Transnistrian file and the separatist regions of Georgia.
