Peskov commented on a possible meeting between Putin and governors whose powers are expiring

President Vladimir Putin will continue to meet with heads of regions, including those whose powers expire in 2023, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. With whom exactly the head of state intends to meet, Mr. Peskov did not specify. Kommersant reported on the preparation of the meetings.

Dmitry Peskov recalled that the Kremlin “doesn’t announce meetings with regional leaders for a long time.” “I can only confirm that, indeed, the president will continue his practice of regular meetings with the heads of regions. Surely among them there will be those whose term of office expires, ”he told Kommersant FM during a press call.

When asked whether these meetings will discuss the nomination of the heads of regions for a new term, the Kremlin representative did not give a specific answer. “Those who find it necessary to discuss this with the president, they will raise this issue,” he said.

According to Kommersant’s information, in the near future, Mr. Putin will hold a series of traditional meetings with the governors, whose term of office expires this year. Among those with whom, according to Kommersant, such conversations are already planned are the governor of the Samara region Dmitry Azarov, the head of the Voronezh region Alexander Gusev, the head of Primorye Oleg Kozhemyako.
