Prime Minister Vladimir Putin meets with Voronezh Governor Alexei Gordeyev
The meeting focused on the defence sector. In the prime minister's opinion, instead of modernising outdated defence enterprises, it is advisable in certain instances to build new ones in the Russian regions as long as the working staff of operating defence plants are retained. The meeting also addressed the issues of pay for teachers and healthcare modernisation.
