Executive chain of command in new Russian regions to be built from scratch — Medvedev

The official said "under orders from the president, this major work is already underway"

MOSCOW, October 13. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday said one of the key tasks the new Russian regions are facing is to build government agencies.

"One of the most important goals today is to build full-blown and functional government agencies. Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions abandoned the Ukrainian model of government organization. The executive chain of command will need to be built anew, from scratch and in short order," he said on the VKontakte social network.

The official said "under orders from the president, this major work is already underway."

"We will approach it systemically, building an effective government mechanism there," Medvedev said.

He held a meeting where he proposed to discuss the formation of key government institutions in the new regions, such as the offices of the executive branch, including the Investigative Committee.

"This is important given the situation in these regions and, of course, with an eye to the future. This will make it possible to ensure not only security, but also the stable development of these territories," the official said.
