Waziri Mkuu wa Urusi Dmitry Medvedev ametangaza kuwa serikali imejiuzulu. Taarifa hiyo inakuja muda mfupi baada ya Rais Vladimir Putin kutoa hotuba yake ya kila mwaka ya kitaifa.
Kukubaliana na kujiuzulu huko, Putin aliwaomba mawaziri kuendelea kufanya kazi hadi pale serikali mpya itakapoundwa.
Kabla ya kutangaza kujiuzulu kwa baraza la mawaziri, ndugu Medvedev alikutana na Putin kujadili hotuba ya kitaifa aliyoitoa Putin, ambayo ilifanyika mapema Jumatano, ofisi ya habari ya Kremlin ilisema.
Putin alisema pia kuwa ana mpango wa kuunda nafasi ya katibu mkuu wa baraza la usalama la nchini Urusi, na kumpatia nafasi hiyo Medvedev.
Katika hotuba yake, Putin alipendekeza marekebisho kadhaa ya katiba.
"Katika muktadha huu, ni dhahiri kwamba, kama serikali, lazima tumpe rais uwezo wa kufanya maamuzi yote, ambayo yanahitajika kutekeleza mpango uliopendekezwa", Medvedev alisema.

Russian government resigns, after President Putin's State-of-the-Nation Address proposes changes to the constitution
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has announced that the government is resigning. The statement came shortly after President Vladimir Putin delivered his annual state-of-the-nation address.
Accepting the resignation, Putin asked the ministers to function as a caretaker government until a new one is formed.
Before announcing the resignation of the cabinet, Medvedev met with Putin to discuss his state-of-the-nation address, which took place earlier on Wednesday, the Kremlin’s press office said.
Putin also said that he plans to create a position of the deputy secretary of Russia’s security council, and offer it to Medvedev.
In his address, Putin proposed several amendments to the constitution.
“In this context, it is obvious that, as the government, we must provide the president with a capability to make all decisions,” which are required to implement the proposed plan, Medvedev said.

Russian government, PM Medvedev resign after Putin unveils reforms
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has handed in his resignation to President Vladimir Putin, Russian news agencies reported. The surprise move came just after Putin announced planned changes to the constitution.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced on Wednesday that he and the rest of the Russian government were resigning, Russian news agencies reported.
The announcement came on the heels of President Vladimir Putin's annual speech to lawmakers where he proposed a series of constitutional reforms that would grant more powers to parliament including the ability to select the prime minister.
The changes would make significant changes to the country's balance of power and so "the government in its current form has resigned," Medvedev said on state television while seated next to Putin.
The prime minister said the move was aimed at clearing the way for the changes to be made. Putin earlier said the constitutional amendments would be put to a referendum.
Putin has asked the outgoing government to continue to carry out their duties until a new government is formed. The Russian president added that he was "satisfied with the government's performance" although the government failed to fulfill certain tasks, reported news agency Interfax.
"Not everything worked out, but everything never works out," Putin said.
Kremlin power struggle
While Putin and Medvedev appeared to present a united front, Russian political analyst Alexey Kurtov interpreted the prime ministers resignation as a show of "disagreement" with sweeping changes suggested by Putin.
"I think this was a spontaneous reaction from Medvedev, who disagreed with the general line of the president's proposals," said Kurtov, who serves as president of the Russian Association of Political Consultants (RAPC).
According to Kurtov, Medvedev has been engaged in a long-running power struggle with the current Duma speaker, Vyacheslav Volodin. The proposed changes would give the Duma powers to appoint the prime minister.
Putin heading for the Duma?
The maneuver could prove crucial for Putin's future. The former FSB chief took power in 2000 and since served as both president and prime minister. He is currently in his consecutive term as president and is prohibited by law to stay on as president.
"I wouldn't exclude that Putin sees himself taking on the speaker's chair in the parliament in the future," political analyst Abbas Gallyamov told DW. "Since Putin's main task now is to secure his own political future, we can assume he is paving the way for himself there."
Although Medvedev is set to leave the prime ministerial seat, Putin signaled he would keep his longtime ally near the center of power as the deputy head of Russia's Security Council. The committee is chaired by Putin himself and deals with affairs of national security.
The prime minister, several government ministers and heads of security agencies are among the council's members. On Wednesday, Putin suggested creating the position of Council's deputy chief and said Medvedev should take the post.
