According to the media outlet, the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters could be closed down and its powers could be transferred to both the Defense Ministry and the Interior Ministry.
The reform could be concluded before the Russian presidential elections scheduled for 2018, Kommersant outlined.
