The President signed instructions appointing Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive office Sergei Ivanov, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov, and State Secretary and Deputy Defence Minister Nikolai Pankov to be his official representatives as the Federation Council examines the proposal to authorise the use, in accordance with international law, of the Russian Armed Forces’ contingent beyond Russia’s borders.
