Putin Removes Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu

As we enter day 809 of Putin's three-day "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine it's fair to say that things have not gone according to plan. That is, if there ever was a plan. Source: The Guardian Vladimir Putin has removed his longtime ally Sergei Shoigu as defence minister in the most significant reshuffle to the military command since Russian troops invaded Ukraine more than two years ago. In a surprise announcement, the Kremlin said Andrei Belousov, a former deputy prime minister who specialises in economics, will replace Shoigu. Putin, who was sworn into his fifth term as Russia’s leader earlier this week, proposed that Shoigu take the position as head of Russia’s powerful security council.
