The Mikhail Mishustin Cabinet (Russian: Правительство Мишустина) is the federal government of Russia, formed in 2020, led by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. It succeeded the previous one led by Dmitry Medvedev.
The Cabinet was formed between 16 and 21 January 2020 and is the last one following the constitutional reform of 2020 which has significantly changed the order of government formation.
On 30 April 2020 Mishustin tested positive for COVID-19. Mishustin confirmed his test results in a video conference with President Vladimir Putin, and nominated his deputy to take over for him as acting Prime Minister. Putin signed a decree appointing Andrey Belousov to the role on an acting basis, following Mishustin's recommendation.[1] In May, three more ministers also tested positive for coronavirus and were temporarily replaced by their deputies.
Due to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, all of Mishustin's cabinet was entirely sanctioned by a number of countries and organizations such as the United States, the European Union, France, Ukraine, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Germany.
