TALLINN - Anton Vaino, head of the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is being considered as a successor to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Postimees reports.

"Anton Vaino, head of the presidential administration, may be appointed to lead the Russian Foreign Ministry, although the final decision on replacing Sergey Lavrov will not be made until next spring," according to the Telegram channel Brief.

The news adds that Vaino is seen as a suitable candidate due to his excellent skills, intelligence, and extensive connections.

"The only drawback is his lack of popularity among the public, but he has time to prove himself," the publication Politichesky Obozrevatel reports.

Anton Vaino is the grandson of Karl Vaino, a Russian-born Soviet politician in Soviet-occupied Estonia and the penultimate first secretary of the Communist Party of Estonia. He was born on Feb. 17, 1972, in Tallinn. He left Estonia with his parents at the age of five. Since August 2016, he has led the Russian presidential administration and is also a permanent member of the Russian Security Council.
