Sochi (Russia): Russian President Vladimir Putin has reshuffled his Cabinet, replacing some longtime members while keeping key figures in place.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev presented the candidates for ministerial posts at today’s meeting with Putin in Sochi, and Putin approved his proposals.

Many key figures, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, are staying. Siluanov was promoted to hold the post of first deputy prime minister, too.
