Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Minister of Transport Roman Starovojt on the basis of a presidential decree on Monday. Moscow did not immediately indicate the reason for the unexpected appeal of the head of the department. According to Reuters report, TASR reports this.
Starovojt has been a minister since May 2024, replacing Vitalija Saveljeva, who became Deputy Prime Minister. Oldovojt had previously held the position of governor of the Kursk region in the west of the country for nearly five years. A few months after his departure from the Office, the Ukrainian troops crossed the border and invaded the Kursk region.
In addition, Starovojt used to work in the transport sector, where he led the Russian Federal Road Agency Rosavtodor for six years. According to the Diary of Knowledge, his Deputy Andrej Nikitin, who was in the past, was the post of governor of the Novgorod region, could become an old -life successor.
