- Anton Siluanov was appointed vice-premier while retaining his position as minister of finance.
- Irina Okladnikova was appointed vice-premier and head of the government apparatus, replacing Dmitry Grigorenko.

Points of divergence
- The appointment of Kozhemyako reflects the Kremlin's effort to address the demographic decline in the Far East, which has been ongoing since 1990. — tg_faridaily24
- The reshuffle weakens Prime Minister Mishustin and strengthens the influence of Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, particularly in controlling budgetary and administrative processes to prioritize military spending. — tg_istories_media
- The replacement of Dmitry Grigorenko with Irina Okladnikova, a protégé of Siluanov, is seen as a move to weaken Mishustin's authority. — tg_istories_media
- The appointment of Irina Okladnikova is considered unexpected and politically significant, as she is not part of Mishustin's inner circle and her appointment signals a shift in power toward Siluanov. — novaya_eu
- Yuri Trutnev was dismissed from his post as presidential plenipotentiaries, with no mention of his new role being a presidential aide. — tg_varlamov_news
- Trutnev was appointed to oversee DOSAAF, 'Voin' centers, and 'Narodnaya Armiya' (Youth Army), which is not mentioned in other sources. — tg_astrapress
- Trutnev was appointed as presidential aide for military-patriotic education, which is consistent with other sources but not explicitly stated in all. — tg_currenttime
- The reshuffle is linked to the recent State Duma elections and is considered a routine political adjustment. — rimao
