Claim 1: “The president expects a report from Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov.”
CORROBORATED
Reuters and WTVB explicitly state that Putin ordered the 'prime minister' and the 'director of the Federal Security Service (FSB)'. Wikipedia confirms that Mikhail Mishustin is the Prime Minister and the FSB is the agency led by the director (Alexander Bortnikov), corroborating the identities of the officials expected to report.
