Belousov, an economist who previously served as deputy prime minister, underlined the need to take better care of Russia\u2019s soldiers in comments to a parliamentary committee, his first since Putin\u00a0named\u00a0him on Sunday to\u00a0replace\u00a0Sergei Shoigu.
\nState media quoted him as saying there was too much bureaucracy surrounding the payment of benefits to military personnel. There were also issues with housing and medical treatment.
\n\u201cI think it\u2019s a mess when participants in the special military operation who come back on vacation are driven from civilian medical institutions to hospitals which are often simply overcrowded. This issue needs to be resolved,\u201d Belousov said.
\nThe comments by Belousov, who has no military background, appeared aimed at demonstrating to members of the armed forces that he understands their concerns and will work to improve their conditions.
\nHe was addressing the defence and security committee of parliament\u2019s upper house, the Federation Council, as part of a confirmation process for a new government line-up after Putin started his fifth term as president earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
