15 January 202017.27 Citing article 117 of the Constitution, Russian Prime Minister Medvedev and his government have resigned. President Putin, thanking the outgoing government for the work he did, instructed him to fulfill his obligations until a new Cabinet was formed. "Not everything has been done, but not everything always succeeds completely," Putin said. It could be the first step in guaranteeing Putin a future in power once the current, last presidential term has ended.
