Vladimir Putin has issued an executive order reinstating Mikhail Mishustin as Russia’s prime minister, ending Andrey Belousov’s appointment as acting prime minister. 

The president temporarily replaced Mishustin on April 30, when the latter announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and needed to be hospitalized. At the time, government sources told Meduza that Mishustin might not return as head of the cabinet.
