Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed candidates for the next cabinet's military and foreign affairs ministers, in addition to the heads of senior security agencies, according to Russia's Federation Council on Sunday.

The upper house reported that "the Federation Council has received the list of candidates proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the positions of heads of a number of federal ministries and agencies."

The Russian President proposed reappointing Sergey Lavrov as Foreign Minister, Vladimir Kolokoltsev as Interior Minister, and Alexander Kurenkov as Minister of Emergency Circumstances.

Mikhail Mishustin has been proposed as the Prime Minister and Sergei Shoigu will step down as Russian Defense Minister to be replaced by Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Belousov.

In his address to the State Duma, Mishustin expressed his commitment to implementing Putin's initiatives, which were outlined in his recent speech to the Federal Assembly.

Mishustin stressed the government's dedication to realizing these initiatives and achieving the country's new development goals.

Prior to his appointment, the head of the State Duma's labor committee, Yaroslav Nilov, said that he supports Mishustin's candidacy for the premiership and expressed the belief that his colleagues in the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) will also support Mishustin.
