Two new positions in the military department

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree establishing, within the structure of the Ministry of Defense, the positions of Chief of Logistics and Chief of Armaments of the Russian Armed Forces. This is reported by Gazeta.Ru citing the portal for the official publication of legal acts, where the relevant document has been posted.

What is known and what remains unclear

The decree creates the positions themselves, but the publication contains no information on who will be appointed to these posts or when the appointments will take place. The outlet notes that the story is being updated — meaning details may emerge later. For tafs.uz readers, this development is of interest primarily as a change in the military command structure of a large neighboring country; the report says nothing about direct consequences for Uzbekistan.
