According to him, the Kursk region required a crisis manager, and President Vladimir Putin believes that the newly appointed Acting Governor Alexander Khinshtein is better suited for this role.
Responding to a question about whether the Kremlin had any grievances against the former regional head, Alexei Smirnov, Peskov stated, “It’s not about grievances; it’s about what needs to be done in this crisis.”
Peskov stressed that Khinshtein’s priorities will include restoring housing, utilities, the construction sector, and meeting residents’ essential needs.
On Thursday, Putin appointed Khinshtein by decree. This followed the acceptance of Smirnov’s resignation.
