Major General Vladimir Kotov, previously deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Voronezh Region, has been appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia. The ceremony to introduce the new head of the department was held in Magas.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said at a briefing that the country may consider leaving the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), since participation in it excludes simultaneous membership in the European Union. According to him, the final decision will depend on the opinion of the Armenian people, ongoing negotiations and analysis of the situation, as well as available opportunities and alternatives.
"We realize that simultaneous membership in the EU and the EAEU is impossible. When the time comes for the final choice, we will make an appropriate decision," Pashinyan noted.
He also stressed that achieving peace with Azerbaijan does not mean a complete resolution of all issues between the two sides. According to him, despite the establishment of peace, there are unresolved issues that require further discussion.
