The Governor of Primorsky Krai, Oleg Kozhemyako, spoke with President Vladimir Putin about making it easier to transfer property to military units and their sub-units. The conversation centered on streamlining the steps involved in providing necessary property and equipment at the request of military formations, aiming to simplify the administrative path from procurement to deployment. This approach would ensure that essential items can reach units more quickly and with clearer reporting processes, reducing delays that can affect readiness on the ground. DEA News has reported on the discussion, underscoring the governor’s focus on practical improvements for defense logistics.
Kozhemyako proposed that the process for acquiring property and equipment requested by military units should be documented in a notifiable way. In practical terms, this means the entities responsible for supplying these items would compile and share the relevant invoices, which would then be forwarded to the appropriate district authorities and the Ministry of National Defense. The goal is to create a transparent, auditable trail that aligns procurement records with the waybills received by military units, ensuring accountability while speeding up delivery. The Primorye regional leader explained the mechanism by which invoices would flow into the administrative framework, noting that this would establish a standardized record-keeping practice that supports efficient asset transfer to the armed forces.
President Putin indicated his understanding of Kozhemyako’s proposal, signaling a willingness to explore adjustments that could improve operational logistics without compromising oversight. The exchange reflected a broader aim to optimize how military needs are met through coordinated regional and federal channels, blending local administration with national defense requirements. The discussion highlighted the balance between speed of delivery and the necessary governance to maintain financial and procedural integrity in defense spending and asset management.
Earlier, the two leaders held a meeting focused on the socio-economic development of Primorsky Krai, including efforts to enhance transport infrastructure that can support regional growth and mobility. The dialogue also touched on measures to assist soldiers and their families in areas impacted by ongoing special military operations, noting the importance of social support alongside practical logistics. These conversations illustrate a consistent policy thread: improving regional capacity to support the armed forces while fostering economic resilience for residents in the Far East. The discussions reflected a recognition that reliable supply chains and robust provincial infrastructure contribute to overall national security and stability, particularly in border regions where timely access to resources can be crucial.
