Russian President Vladimir Putin has reappointed Mikhail Mishustin as the country's prime minister following his previous four-year tenure characterized by a focus on technocratic expertise rather than political ambitions. Mishustin, 58, submitted his Cabinet's resignation in accordance with Russian law as Putin began his fifth presidential term earlier this week.
Political observers widely anticipated Mishustin's reappointment, citing Putin's appreciation for his skills and low-key political demeanor. As the former head of Russia's tax service, Mishustin has maintained a low profile, refraining from political statements and media interviews during his previous term.
