Literally: “The Kremlin’s high -ranking officials, probably, with the approval of Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, they dismissed the deputy head of the Kremlin’s apparatus Dmitry Kozak from his high Kremlin office after years of disagreement with Putin’s politics on war in Ukraine …
Advertising:
Putin’s probable decision to displace from his close surroundings the famous high -ranking official of the Kremlin, after expressing the desire to end the war in Ukraine, once again indicates that Putin and his advisers are united around their devotion to continue the war in Ukraine and around Putin’s maximalist military demands“.
Details: Referring to publications in Russian media in ISW believes that The report of repeated differences of the Cossack with the ruler of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is indicated that Putin and possibly other Kremlin officials, such as the deputy chairman of the Russian Presidential Administration Sergey Kiriyenko, released the Cossack from office or forced him to “resign” on his own.
Thus, on September 17, Roszmi, with reference to two familiar sources, stated that the Cossack “resigned” from his post last weekend (September 13-14) and considers different proposals for going into business.
Russian political scientist He stated that the Cossack was the sole participant of the Security Council meeting on February 21, 2022, who opposed the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Cossack was a mediator to reach an agreement with Ukraine at the beginning of the war that would prevent Ukraine’s membership in NATO, but Putin rejected the agreement because he wanted to annex the Ukrainian territory.
Earlier, Western and Russian sources indicated that the Cossack had lost its influence in the Kremlin after Putin has advised Putin to cease fighting in Ukraine, start peace talks and reduce the impact of Russian security services in the last few months.
Cossack was previously one of Putin’s closest advisers and controlled the Kremlin’s strategy in Ukraine before the Kremlin had transferred this responsibility to the Kirrient in 2022. It is reported that Kierienko also recently assumed the management of the Kremlin portfolio for Moldova from the Cossack.
The departure of the Cossack from the Kremlin will consolidate the power and responsibilities of Kiriyenko in Putin’s administration.
