Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday dismissed Russian Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Yuri Averyanov citing contractual issues in the midst 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 «perform other functions also as an official» of the Russian government, according to information from the Interfax news agency.
Azeryanov was appointed deputy secretary to the chairman of the Security Council and former president of the country, Dmitry Medvedev, but will now go on to perform the functions of a parliamentary advisor.
He previously held various positions within the Putin Administration and worked as a professor at the Strategy Department of the Military Academy of the Russian Armed Forces.
