### Putin Signs Decree Allowing Defense Ministry and Rosgvardia Access to Civil Registry Data Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree granting the Defense Ministry and the National Guard (Rosgvardia) the right to electronically obtain information from civil registry offices (ZAGS). Under the new regulations, these agencies will be able to submit inquiries regarding military personnel, civilian staff, former service members, and their family members. The exchange of data will take place in an electronic format. The document explains that the new measures aim to simplify the procedure for providing social benefits to military personnel and their relatives. Additionally, access to civil registry data is expected to enhance the efficiency of military personnel record-keeping and reduce the time needed to process relevant information. This means that interaction between government bodies will shift to a more efficient digital format, which lawmakers hope will expedite the resolution of issues related to social guarantees and military personnel accounting.
