PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, June 18. There should be unity of command in the army, so working groups at the level of the presidential administration should not be created, but it would be great to collect information there and select it according to the most promising military-technical means, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“You know the well-known maxim “if you want to ruin the business, create a working group.” But you have the right idea. You have to think about it, I agree with you, I want to do it myself. he doesn’t get out of there, Marat Khusnullin is there all the time. Manturov is there all the time, representatives of the industry are all the time, but you are right that it would be necessary to search and select. But it’s pointless to create a working group, «Putin said during a conversation with military which is shown in the program «Moscow. The Kremlin. Putin» on the TV channel «Russia 1».
According to him, it is necessary to establish systemic work.
«We need to think … Create some kind of administration group, so that it constantly hangs around among the commanders. There are problems here. There should be one-man command in the army, you understand. As soon as some kind of working group appears, and even directly from the president. This is a subtle thing, but what to collect information and select it according to the most promising technical means, military-technical — of course, that would be very cool,» Putin added.
He invited the meeting participants to send him ideas on this topic.
