There has been intense speculation for several days about whether Lavrov is still in his post. He was absent from a meeting of the Russian Security Council last Wednesday, during which President Vladimir Putin announced the “possibility of a full-scale nuclear weapons test.”On Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tried to calm the speculation surrounding Lavrov’s absence.

“There is no truth to these reports. Lavrov continues to serve as foreign minister, there is no doubt about that,” he told reporters.But for the rumors about Lavrov to be considered news, it is important to understand the politics and decision-making processes within the Kremlin. On Wednesday, the Russian business daily Kommersant reported, citing “several sources familiar with the matter,” that Lavrov was absent from the high-level Security Council meeting by “consensus.”Observers also said that Lavrov was the only permanent member of Russia's Security Council to be absent from Wednesday's meeting.It is known that Lavrov will not be leading the Russian delegation to the G-20 summit in Johannesburg, Brazil, later this month.

On Tuesday (November 4), Putin issued a decree appointing Maxim Oreshkin, deputy chief of staff of the Russian Presidential Executive Office, to lead the G-20 delegation.Many people are asking whether Lavrov was removed because of differences with Putin? Is this a sign of a possible internal reorganization of the Russian government?Before the news of Lavrov's absence came, some other important events had recently occurred. A few weeks ago, Putin was supposed to meet US President Donald Trump in the Hungarian capital Budapest. However, it fell through at the last minute.
