Now the Kremlin officials can do this only after agreeing with the Cabinet of Ministers, and if they have a valid reason for it. The new restrictions relate to the entire government leadership - from ministers, heads of the apparatus and their deputies to the heads of departments. However, for the administration of Vladimir Putin there are no such restrictions.
Journalists argue that this step Mikhail Mishustin went through his "special desire", but according to another source, during the whole 2022 the Kremlin staff traveled quietly "neutral countries", and the permission was issued by the head of the Presidential Administration Anton Vayno. At the request of The Bell, Presidential President Dmitry Peskov and Mikhail Mishustin's representative did not respond.
We will remind, on March 15, intelligence of the UK reported that the Kremlin increases pressure and prohibits civil servants departure abroad. According to available information, they are forced to hand over their passports and other documents to the FSB. Such measures can be aimed at preventing desertion among officials. On January 11, the GUR reported that the Russian Federation was banned from traveling abroad to all conscripts. Restrictions apply to even those who are limited to service.
