Russian President Vladimir Putin met with participants in the special operation of former Krasnodar mayor Evgeny Pervyshov, who was appointed acting head of the Tambov region by presidential decree. This was reported by the Kremlin website.
“You have a good, very good track record. I really hope that the people of Tambov will welcome you. They will accept you as one of their own. I also refer to the decisions he made: to participate in a special military operation, he was not afraid of it, he fulfilled his duty to the Fatherland in the way he did and he did it with great honor. But you have to do everything you can to ensure that if people ultimately trust you, you justify that trust.” — Putin said, quoted on the Pool No. 3 telegram channel.
“Of course I agree, it’s a great honor for me,” Pervyshov said. He thanked the president for his trust.
