Russia's parliament will confirm President Vladimir Putin as prime minister on May 8, the day after he steps down from the Kremlin, parliament speaker Boris Gryzlov said Monday.


"We are waiting for May 7 when there will be the inauguration of the new president, and May 8 when there will be the confirmation of the prime ministerial candidacy of the leader of the United Russia list, Vladimir Putin," Gryzlov was quoted as saying by Russia's three national news agencies. (AFP)
