Putin to hold meeting with permanent Security Council members this week

Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to hold a regular meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council this week, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The plan to hold a Security Council meeting in the next few days was earlier reported by the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin." television program.

"It’s a regular [meeting]," Peskov said, when asked if the plan was to hold one of the regular meetings with the council’s permanent members that typically happen every week or a full-blown meeting with all members.

Putin held the most recent regular council meeting on October 10. The previous meeting of the full Security Council took place in May.
