The Mikhail Mishustin's Second Cabinet () is the current federal government of Russia, formed in May 2024, led by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
It is the first government of Russia of which the entire composition was approved by the State Duma and the Federation Council after the 2020 constitutional reform.
The first coalition Cabinet since 2004, in addition to representatives of United Russia, it also included a representative of the Liberal Democratic Party.
As with the previous cabinet, this entire cabinet is fully sanctioned by a number of countries and organizations such as the United States, the European Union, France, Ukraine, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Germany because of the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Formation The government began to form after the resignation of the First Mishustin cabinet on 7 May 2024, as a result of Vladimir Putin's accession to a new presidential term.
On 10 May 2024, Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin announced that Vladimir Putin had proposed Mishustin's candidacy for the post of Prime Minister. The confirmation hearing for Mishustin took place on the same day.
Even before Mishustin's nomination, the deputy head of the United Russia faction, Yevgeny Revenko, said that the faction would support any candidate for the post of Prime Minister proposed by Putin. Since United Russia has a majority of seats in the State Duma, this means that Mishustin would become Prime Minister, even if all other parties voted against it. After Mishustin's consultations with the parliamentary factions, the leaders of the Liberal Democratic Party, A Just Russia – For Truth and New People also expressed support for Mishustin.
The Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov, after meeting with Mishustin, said that his faction would abstain from voting. According to Zyuganov, the communists have prepared proposals for the work of the future government, and the party will be ready to support Mishustin only if he confirms his readiness to implement them.
In accordance with the current version of the Constitution, the State Duma, in addition to the Prime Minister, will have to approve all deputy Prime ministers and most federal ministers. Their candidacies must be nominated by the Prime Minister after his appointment and approval of the Cabinet structure. At the same time, the Ministers of Defense, Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, Justice and Emergency Situations are nominated and appointed by the President after consultations with the Federation Council.
