Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu was seen chairing an army meeting in a video posted by the ministry on Saturday.
The meeting marked the minister's first appearance as he had not come in public for more than two weeks.
In the video, Shoigu said he had discussed issues related to the military budget and defence orders with the finance ministry.

"We continue ahead-of-schedule delivery of weaponry and equipment by means of credits. The priorities are long-range high-precision weapons, aircraft equipment and maintenance of engagement readiness of strategic nuclear forces," said Shoigu.
The chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, who also had not been seen in public recently, attended the meeting along with a number of top Russian army officials.
Shoigu, who is overseeing what Russia calls its special military operation in Ukraine, vanished and has not been seen in public since March 11, fuelling speculation about his whereabouts.
