"We do not know anything about the possible resignation, we do not comment on this information," said the agency interlocutor.
A spokesman for the head of the Chelyabinsk region, Dmitry Fedechkin, also said that he did not see the point in commenting on information in the media that the governor of the region, Boris Dubrovsky, could resign.
“We don’t see any sense in any way especially to comment on the regular conclusions of unnamed experts and their evaluation. The governor of the Chelyabinsk region, Boris Dubrovsky, has repeatedly stressed that he intends to take part in the elections of the head of the region in 2019, ”Fedechkin said.
Earlier, the newspaper Vedomosti reported that in the near future, Russian President Vladimir Putin will hold a new series of resignations of governors. This was stated by two people close to his administration.
In the autumn of 2018 several governors resigned. In particular, the governor of the Lipetsk region, Oleg Korolev, the head of the Kurgan region, Alexey Kokorin, the acting governor of Primorye, Andrey Tarasenko, the head of the Astrakhan region, Alexander Zhilkin, and others left their posts.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin met with retired governors and said he would seek to use their experience in other areas of work. It is noted that 15 former heads of Russian regions took part in the meeting with Putin.
