Russian President Vladimir Putin’s special presidential representative, Anatoly Chubais, resigned from his post, according to top Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

“Chubais resigned himself. But whether he left [the country] or not ... this is his own business,” Peskov told state-run media on Wednesday. It’s not clear why Chubais stepped down, and Peskov didn’t elaborate.
