Putin removes a senior position from the Russian Security Council in the middle of the Ukraine war

MADRID, 1 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has fired this Wednesday the deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council Yuri Averyanov alleging contractual issues in the middle of the invasion of Ukraine.

Putin has thus signed a decree that includes his departure from office and stipulates that Averyanov, 73, will now go on to "carry out other functions as well as an official" of the Russian government, according to information from the Interfax news agency.

Azeryanov was appointed deputy secretary to the president of the Security Council and former president of the country, Dimitri Medvedev, but will now serve as a parliamentary adviser.

He previously held various roles within the Putin Administration and worked as a professor at the Strategy Department of the Military Academy of the Russian Armed Forces.
