This story is still being watched, so it is a count and not yet a finding. Coverage keeps arriving for hours after an event, and a side that has published nothing this morning may publish by tonight. If it is still true when we stop checking, we will say so plainly.
Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has been proposed for the position of Vice-Premier. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin put forward the appointment. The changes follow parliamentary elections held in September. The proposed appointment requires approval from the Russian parliament. Siluanov is expected to continue in his role as Finance Minister.
Disagreement on reasons for changes
Yle reported that the personnel changes follow September's parliamentary elections and that Russia is seeking ways to boost economic growth amid a growing budget deficit. The digest from vz.ru stated that Siluanov was proposed for the position due to the special importance of Russia's financial sustainability under current circumstances, citing spokesperson Boris Belyakov who said that ensuring financial sustainability, fiscal balance and cost-effectiveness is of particular importance in the face of increasing external pressure.
What the coverage left out
None of the right-rated digests mention the proposed changes to the Transport Minister position or the context of boosting economic growth amid a growing budget deficit, details that were present in the centre-rated report from Yle.
