On Monday, Speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko will make her first working visit to Crimea, where she will meet with the heads of Sevastopol Sergei Menyailo and Crimea Sergei Aksenov, and will also spend part of her vacation, they write "News".
The newspaper's material is devoted to discussing the question of whether US sanctions will be imposed against Matvienko for this, where she will have to fly next. However, the day before, according to rumors, a high government commission flew to Crimea, possibly headed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The reason was a sharp demarche by the head of the republic, Sergei Aksenov, against the federal security forces, who began to persecute members of his team for corruption.
In addition, earlier the governor of Sevastopol announced that due to the conflict between the government and the city’s legislative assembly, each city minister will have a personal curator from Moscow.
Izvestia does not report Matvienko’s plans to meet with the head of the Sevastopol Legislature. However, they also do not report her plans to meet with the head of the State Council of Crimea, Vladimir Konstantinov.
