mr shoigu has been defence ministerfor 12 years.d by vladimir putin in 2012, i think. the two men were said to be pretty close for a long time. they even went on holiday a few times to siberia together. last week we were on red square watching the the victory day parade and defence minister shoigu was there inspecting the russian troops. but there had been rumours for some time that he could be moved, he could lose his job and it seems that's what's happening. he still has a job to go to. he's being moved to the russian security council as the head of the security council. but i think that's a demotion compared to being defence minister, who's coming in, who's replacing him. someone called andrei belousov, who's an economist, and i think that reflects the fact that over the last couple of years, president putin has put the russian economy on a war footing and wants an economist to to run things because it's vital, as far as he's concerned, that the the defence industry has enough money to fund this war. i've been speaking to russia

what do you make of this move or sergei shoigu? it’s a move or sergei shoigu?g — move or sergei shoigu? it's a fascinating reshuffle, - move or sergei shoigu? it's a fascinating reshuffle, that's l move or sergei shoigu? it�*s —. fascinating reshuffle, that's what it is, not a complete second for the defence minister. he has been moved aside to a new national security road but takes some defence and foreign affairs responsibilities with him, so it's not a complete demotion and shock it —— second for him, but certainly his name has been targeted for some time because of many feelings in russia's progress in the military campaign in ukraine. the interesting thing about this appointment of his replacement by an economist, not a military person, someone who has been a deputy prime minister, isjust how someone who has been a deputy prime minister, is just how significant the economy now is in driving russia's war machine. if you think about it, just about north of 7% of russia's economy is now devoted to this war, to developing and producing munitions and weapons in

let me remind you that the investigation began under shoigu. ingratitude is not a russian trait, you stop it, this is generally a very russian trait: firstly, cursing the one who left and worshiping the new person seems to me to be an absolutely no-alternative solution, well, that is , yes, such hints that now every penny must be checked, that is, well, probably earlier she won't transfer every penny. well, on the other hand, this is putin's appointee, well, that 's all, and it's like putin is responsible for everything, but you know what's interesting in this regard, what does it mean that after this prigozhin march and everything that happened around at some point, putin lost this as well as trust in shaigu, you can also understand it if you had to change him, well... well, actually admit that the management of defense mines was not effective, and then what should shoigu do? here the question is not about trust as such, here the question is that his subordinates, well , i mean, shaygu, gerasimov, they did not bring him the result he wanted, do you remember the moment, for example,

putin doesn't want to share with shoigu or anyone else. doesn't want to share with shoigu or anyone elsesays there's "fierce fighting" along a large part of the kharkiv region border in eastern ukraine. russia says it has captured another four villages in the region — an area where russian troops had been pushed back nearly two years ago. it means that since they launched their surprise offensive two days ago, they have taken nine villages. today, there have also been strikes on the russian side of the border in belgorod, with russian military saying a ukrainian air strike destroyed a section of a ten—storey apartment block. with the latest on the conflict, our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports from vovchansk. the road to russia, just a few miles from the border. and proof that the russians are back in the kharkiv region again. the town of vovchansk was liberated in a surprise ukrainian offensive less than two years ago. now it's at risk of falling back into russian hands. alexi, a local policeman, is once again telling the population to leave. he says it's better than dying.

shoigu they fight with it. now the period has come when the supreme commander decided, you know, how the rocket is accelerated. first degree worked out, new tasks, working second degree. serhii kozhugidovych is getting promoted. you have to understand, you just have to understand. and don't get hysterical. there is no need to get hysterical. we should be grateful. robbed, robbed. and you can prove something, tell me. the mistake of the ministry of defense is the calculation that kyiv will capitulate in 2022, and kyiv surrendered, kyiv surrendered, why didn't he notice his deputy billionaire? why didn't you notice? timur ivanov has been declared for many years when specific questions have arisen. by the way, there is no solution yet court let me remind you that the investigation began under shoigu. ingratitude is not russian. cursing the one who left and adoring the new person, it seems to me absolutely . this is a very russian trait in general, first of all, a decision without alternative, well, that is, there

let me remind you that the investigation began under shoigu.a russian trait, you will stop it. this is generally a very russian trait. first of all, cursing the one who left and adoring a new person seems to me to be an absolutely no-alternative solution, well, that is, yes, there are hints that now every penny must be checked, that is, well , probably before, every penny was not checked, well, on the other hand on the other hand, he is putin's appointee, well, that's all, and as if putin is responsible for everything, but... you know, what's interesting in this regard is that it means that after this prigozhin march and everything that happened around it, at a certain moment putin also lost trust in shaig, so it can be understood if he had to be replaced, well, and actually admit that the ministry of defense management was not effective, and what should shaigu do then, here the question is not... trust as such, here the question is that his subordinates, well, that is to say, chief gerasimov, they did not bring him the result he wanted, but do

shoigu is a banal thief. in general, he was very useful to putin.putin knew perfectly well about the thefts of ivanov and shuigu himself. now he needs a campaign discrediting the army as a den of thieves. and even pay attention, there are two kei. he needs something to explain the massive failures of his campaign, what are the failures? therefore, let's return to the most important event, the shameful dismissal of patrushev. look at the whole big plane, where the entire russian elite was gathered, they didn't even take patrushev. if he was simply thrown out of retirement, it would be even less humiliating than being recognized. ideologue of the tool of nuclear blackmail, he suggested to putin that the only way to defeat the west, which dominates russia in everything, economically, technologically, in conventional weapons, it is to threaten and threaten to use nuclear weapons, pretend to be crazy, back off or i will use nuclear weapons. and it worked for several years, why were american weapons phased in with such delays and restrictions? because all

shoigu is a banal thief, in general he was very useful to putin. putin knew perfectly well about the thefts of ivanov and shuigu himself. now he needs a campaign to discredit the army as a den of thieves. and even pay attention to the two cases of ivanov and the next arrestee, kuznyatsov. there are still words of betrayal. he needs something which would explain the massive failures of his campaign. and what are the failures? therefore, let's return to the most important event, the shameful dismissal of patrushev. look at the whole big plane, where all the russian elite were assembled. they didn't even take patroshev. if he was simply thrown out of retirement, it would be even less humiliating than his appointment as a shipbuilding assistant. and what is the matter? you and i have talked about it 20 times. patrushev is the ideologue of the instrument of nuclear blackmail. he suggested to putin that the only way to win the west which is superior to russia in everything, economically, technologically, in conventional weapons, is to threaten and threat

, because soigu, soigu, shoigu, except for personal devotion and vacations there far away in the far north , i don’t know what makes him different there, but... the character of shoigu already causes such an allergy in many politicians to the influence of business groups, including the military, so it could be quite natural for putin to reboot this system a little, and most importantly, what he has is extraordinary convenient situation, the government, including shoigu, is forced by the constitution to resign. and of course, mr. oleg, here... many experts, many specialists, internationalists, including, are trying to understand putin's logic, and what he is doing now and why he is doing it, we understand that he wants to destroy the ukrainian state, he wants to destroy ukrainians, but the director of national intelligence of the united states of america, avril gaines , believes that the tactics of the russian dictator are to convince ukraine that continuation of the war will only increase the damage to the country. according to your observations, at the current stage, what putin is t

after 12 years in his previous post, mr shoigu will now head the powerful russian security council.gence 0fficer christopher steele. he's now director of 0rbis business intelligence. he's in london. thanks forjoining us. many developments in this reshuffle of sorts and in terms of sergei shoigu and moving him, what is your assessment? i and moving him, what is your assessment?— and moving him, what is your assessment? i think a couple of thins assessment? i think a couple of things come _ assessment? i think a couple of things come to _ assessment? i think a couple of things come to mind _ assessment? i think a couple of things come to mind with - assessment? i think a couple of things come to mind with this . things come to mind with this movement of sergei shoigu which is a surprise although it may have been signalled a couple of weeks ago when his deputy team was sacked apparently for corruption. what is at dissatisfaction with the conduct of the war, and i know we are hearing about the russians attacking kharkiv but the mighty russian army is struggling to take over if you villa

mr shoigu, he has been defence minister for 12 years.ty close for a long time. they even went on holiday a few times to siberia together. last week, we were on red square watching the victory day parade and defence minister shoigu was there inspecting the russian troops. but there had been rumours for some time that he could be moved, he could lose hisjob, and it seems that's what's happening. he still has a job to go to. he's being moved to the russian security council as the head of the security council. but i think that's a demotion compared to being defence minister. who's coming in, who's replacing him? president zelensky says there's fierce fighting along a large part of the kharkiv border in eastern ukraine as russia attempts to regain territory it lost nearly two years ago. thousands of civilians have been evacuated from the area where russia claims to have captured nine villages since they launched their surprise offensive on the region three days ago. strikes were also seen on the russian side of the border in belgorod yesterda

finally putin realized that he does not understand anything about it at all, he dismissed sergei shoigu, a sharer, a person who is his... a criminal, as well as vladimir putin, since during the last 10 years they have been waging war against ukraine, the 11th year has already passed, and during the last two years they have been striking all over the territory of ukraine, conducting a large-scale attack on the ukrainian state. shaiga was transferred to the position of secretary of the security council of the russian federation, in this position. during practically everything during the period of putin's presidency, with the exception of a few years, there was mykola patrushev, the person who, after putin's election as president in 2000, headed the federal security service of ukraine, this is the same patrushev who planted explosives under civilian houses in moscow, in algadonsk, in budyonovsky, in other cities. russian federation bombers, according to the testimony of the disgraced russian oligarch boris berezovsky, bombers blew up houses together with residents, residents of these house

according. this may indicate putin's desire to reduce shoigu's power and balance him with his competitorsand we know that just a few days ago the deputy minister of defense of the russian federation, timur ivanov, was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe, part six of article 290 of the criminal code code, and in general, timur ivanov is a billionaire in russia, who obviously worked in the interests of including... including shaigu, how important shaigu is to putin in the current configuration, and can we hope that these showdowns between different towers the kremlin may lead to the weakening of power in russia, and accordingly, it will give ukraine some chance during the war. well, with regard to the chance during the war, it is more difficult to say, but i am sure of the inevitability of such... steps, well, first of all, formally, russia has constitution, after the next term of the re-elected person comes. president, the entire government formally submits a resignation letter to that president, meaning the entire government will resign. it should be noted that dyumin is a person w

shaigu, that is, shoigu, has now been transferred to the security council, he is the secretary of theurity council, dmitriy medvidev does not remain his deputy, well, they will somehow get along, as they say, two not quite intelligent men, they will find some kind of work or, some certain hobby, they will combine, because medvedev is like that semi-alcoholic or an alcoholic character and shaigu, who always says something wrong, they will obviously be a good duo in the security council of the russian federation. as for bilousov himself, who will now be the new shoigu in putin's entourage, he once worked in academic circles before joining the government in 1999, then, as i said, he was also putin's adviser, economic adviser. vice prime minister and headed many different positions, the only question is what sibiluso will do now, because it is strategically important for ukraine, the position of the minister of defense of the russian federation, how he will lead this ministry of defense, the course of the russian-ukrainian war will depend on how he will lead. the president of lithuania gi

putin's blessing, and putin allegedly did not know, no matter how there was an option to replace shoiguecause soyga, soyga , soigu, except for a personal one there devotion and vacations there na na na... in the far north, i don't know how he is different there, but the character of shoigu already causes such an allergy in many politicians due to his influence. business groups, including the military, so it would be quite natural for putin to reboot this system a little, and the main thing is that he has an extremely convenient situation, the government, including shaygu, is forced to resign according to the constitution. and of course, mr. olezh, many experts, many specialists, internationalists, including them, are trying understand putin's logic. and what is he, what is he doing now, and why is he doing it, we understand that he, well, seeks to destroy the ukrainian state, seeks to destroy ukrainians, but the director of national intelligence of the united states of america, avril gaines, believes that the tactics of the russian dictator's goal is to convince ukraine that the continu

, if shoigu cannot be put on the dock, because everyone remembers their joint trips to the tuvan taigaow close they were, then he is just shoigu led to a retirement warm place, led out of the future process of traitors, thieves in the ministry of defense, this is my explanation, this is an empty place of no shuigu's power is not there, he needs a long war, he is a repetition. every day that this fool bilousov, who, as we are told, is the only person in russia who does not steal, although this raises great doubts, data has already appeared about the palaces of the same belousov, but now he has a double task , he realized that the victory over ukraine, in the sense in which they wanted to achieve it, the destruction of ukrainian statehood, will never happen, now it is necessary to crawl away. he wants to save. this korean version of territorial capture it is as possible to sell it as a sort of draw, but a draw is not a victory, because the credits and traitors of the ministry of defense were in the way, there will be a huge trial over them, this is what putin is busy with now, and what i

and the step is right, that is, when shoigu, and we know that shoigu is the equivalent of corruption, that is, he came in 12 years, when we remember what was happening there in the ministry of defense of russia, when serdyukov also carried out a seemingly pragmatic reform, which was oriented by the way, to the best standards, and at that time they overtook ukraine in many respects in the transition to nato standards, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, both in administration, administration, and procurement, they introduced the first outsourcing. for services and so on, were quite progressive these reforms were taking place, serdyukov reduced 100,000 officers, of course the military did not like it, and after a certain time he came literally in the 9th year, in the 12th year he was already expelled, of course with shame, accused of corruption and so on, i i think that of course there was corruption there, but in russia everything happens because of corruption, but what i am leading to is that when shoigu came, a rather powerful force was formed. the generals' mafia, and not only the

but shoigu will be moving over and he'll be heading the security council, which is important, but it is a shakeup and this new appointee is background is in economics. how do you think that translates into this new position? i know you're i hear what you're saying that they may he's going to have other people that are helping very specifically on the battlefield. but how do you think his background will play into all of this? >> i think it does make sense because this person, andre bill elusive, actually is an economist and he's kind of a technocrat. and that's kind of what they need right now, because the entire russian economy has become militarized. so how this monstrous military and the budget for the military fit into the entire picture of the economy is really, really important. so if this guy comes in and again, i think it does make sense in that way that he will try to coordinate all of it not gonna be doing? where's the next battle and where did the tag scout? he's really the many man and the money man is really important right now just this week, cnn reported western intell

and this is why we see sergei shoigu. i think one reason replaced by the civilian and economist by training a former economy minister and first deputy prime minister bill. elusive, who is sort of gray suited serious speaking, close ally of vladimir putin. so that is one thing i think obviously this comes at a point where russia is more confident on the battlefield. it has been making gains, it's in the middle really of its most significant cross-border push. >> in many, many months that i think masks the fact that they are dealing with the war now in its third year where it was supposed to last just a few weeks maximum. so i think that is another reason perhaps that sergei shoigu was seen as a marked man that on top of course, of a corruption scandal in his ministry, a top deputy arrest did just under three weeks ago. that is something that the russian government tends to do when it wants to get that individual to reveal information, perhaps even about higher ranks in the ministry. shoigu though is not is not being comple

patrushev, who tried, first, to destroy shoigu, secondly, to promote his... son to the post of primeister, then putin, who, well, probably planned to promote dmitry patroshev, that is, the son of the son of mykola platonovych, he did it, but removed patroshev to another position, that is, these are 100% internal traditional maneuvers that mr. putin does, and what happened to the appointment. this is the most interesting thing, i have known andrii yaremovich for a long time, and he has always been such an ideological supporter of the militarization of the economy, because he believes that its growth, development and modernization are possible only through militarization, even during the time when i was during the presidency of dmitry medvedov . was such an opponent who cooperated with putin, and to all our opinions that it is necessary to cooperate with the west, he said that it is not necessary to do this, it is necessary to develop internal demands and the military-industrial complex, but now he will be responsible for that is, it is difficult to call him a liberal economist, but he

loyalty, mr shoigu doesn't actually seem to have been demoted.an, but an economics adviser, andrei belousov. at a time when the ukraine war is eating up 7% of russia's gdp, president putin clearly thinks he needs a clever financial brain, rather than a military one, to oversee the war. in the 1980s, the soviet union's defence spending was onlyjust a little bit higher than russia's is today — 7.4% of gdp. since that's what most analysts believe is what brought the soviet union down, russia needs to make sure it doesn't lose economic control of the ukraine war. and that, in turn, seems to argue that the kremlin now thinks the war could last a long, long time. well, that's it from this edition of unspun world. from the unspun team and from me, until we meet again, goodbye. hello there. contrasting conditions as we head through this week. now, it's a dry and a warm start, with temperatures still above the seasonal average for most. lots of sunny spells around, but it will be turning cooler and then wetter and windier as we head through the middle par

with a civilian shoigu was criticized for his handling of the invasion he shouldn't have ukraine.t forcefully, by the wagner chief yevgeny prigozhin the kremlin's shoigu has now been appointed secretary of russia's security council. he will also oversee the country's military industrial complex. the new defense minister, andre balance soft previously served as first deputy prime minister. the kremlin spokesperson explained why putin made the change during a media call on it's sunday mentioned a few wouldn't him up pulley boy today on the battlefield, those who are more open for innovations, more open towards a quick implementation of the innovations when that is why it's natural depend on the current stage, the president has taken the decision pretty civilian to be in charge of the ministry of defense he also highlighted the country's rising military spending, saying it's approaching levels last seen during the cold war joining us now is cnn's clare sebastian. >> she is live in london, so clear how significant is this announcement from putin that he is replacing his defense? i'm g

putin replaced shoigu as minister of defense with economist andriy bilousov.t does this mean for the war in ukraine? the consequences of this designation will be felt for the russian defense complex and the russian economy, which will more effectively support the military operation. shoigu did not manage the military operation this is the role of chief of the russian general staff gerasimov and other commanders who worked on it in ukraine. shoigu ran the civilian side of the ministry of defense, which is responsible for administration, resource preparation, policy-making, etc. bilousev is an economist. he has a reputation as a very competent technocrat who is good at getting results and working with data. by the way, he oversaw the procurement of drones, controlled the production of drones for the ... russian army, i suspect that he will try to eradicate corruption, will try to increase the efficiency of the production capacities of russian factories and make sure that all production reaches the front. i am concerned that russia, as the kremlin, is essentially

time it was not mentioned at all, the defense industry worked, shoigu, shoigu traveled, showed variousels of equipment there, everything was fine there , told and increase the range by another 300 km, are there risks that they will still start to solve these problems, or all? anyway, well, we hope that they won't succeed, well, let's say it's 50 to 50 here, that there is such a golden mean that, taking into account the background of bilousov himself, that he will start to solve it, but taking into account the plus that like him, on his verzhd management style, well, besides everything else, he is also the chairman of the supervisory board there, well, it will all turn into the fact that give us even more money only for the construction of the ladych industrial complex, because, well, it turns out that with on the one hand, there is a certain efficiency, it is to them... will, accordingly, give certain weapons for the war against ukraine, this will also help them, but to bring order directly to the indicators they want, well, it will hardly work, because , again, they are not going to d

patrushev clan is more likely to be strengthened at the expense of the shoigu clan. first of all, it must be said that the arrest of a person with such a status is an extraordinary event for the entire russian political and military-political machine. and the consequences of this will naturally be very significant, i think those who... are right now saying that the blow to serhii shuigu is quite serious, and if he did not try to soften this blow now, besides, many expect that after the inauguration, when putin announces the composition of the new government, there will be a new defense minister, it is quite possible. but this is one aspect of personnel, it can be quite important, because who will be next, it is important, and if a blow is really struck at shoigu... and his people, and they, first of all, are the initiators of this, then, of course, this will mean further mobilization , the escalation of the war on their part, and there is another assumption, which is related to the fact that the kremlin is preparing to create a so-called defense council, a supra-agen

did not mention it at all, the defense plant was working, shoigu, shoigu drove, showed various models of equipment there, everything was fine there, tell me you are increasing the range by another 300 km, are there any risks that they will still... begin to solve these problems, anyway, well hope that they will not succeed? well, let's say it's 50 for 50 here, that there is such a golden mean that, taking into account the background of bilousov himself, that he will start to solve it, but taking into account the plus of what he is like, his management style, verzhed, well, he in addition to everything else, the head of the supervisory board there, well, it will all turn into the fact that give us even more money only for the guidance of the vladiyuski industrial complex, because... it turns out that on the one hand, it will give them some efficiency there and accordingly , it will also give them certain weapons for the war against ukraine, but to directly bring order to the indicators they want, well, it will hardly work, because , again, they are not going to do it at the expense of

the ministry of defense was needed, something similar had already happened during his reign before shoiguoly was also appointed as the minister of defense of russia serdyukov, and this minister carried out a major modernization of the ministry of defense of the russian federation and the armed forces of russia . serhiy shuigu used precisely the legacy of serdyukov, who was removed, accused of corruption, well , by and large, the reason for his downfall was the divorce with the daughter of one of the main favorites of vladimir putin, the former prime minister of russia viktor zubkov, who now heads the board of directors of gazprom, but all these family and clan images, they played clearly in our favor, because it became absolutely it is obvious that a person with such a corrupt... streak as serhiy shuigu can use other people's property, but he is definitely not capable of building effective relations, well, think for yourself, why do you and i have an effective ministry of defense of russia, so, as you understand, i am a big i will not wish andrii bilous success, i think that with his appo

this will naturally be very significant, i think those who are now saying that the blow to sergei shoigu is quite serious are right. and if he did not try to soften this blow now, besides, many expect that after the inauguration, when putin announces the composition of the new government, there will be... a new minister of defense, it is quite possible. but this is one aspect of personnel, it can be quite important, because who will be next, it is important, and if indeed a blow to the shoig is struck patrushev and his people, and they are primarily the initiators of this, then, of course, this will mean further mobilization. escalation of the war on their part. but there is another assumption, which is related to what the kremlin is preparing. transfer to this body everything related to military construction, provision of the army, i.e. the entire state procurement system, remove it from the ministry of defense. in this case, the beneficiary is chemezov, and apparently, then his person will possibly head the ministry of defense, so far this is all a corrupt assumption. it must be said e

that's why i... became quite skeptical about the promotion of the shoigu, it is said that it is somehow put him on the example of ivanov, he is a person close to putin, but they decided to remove him from the influence of the ministry of defense of the russian federation in this way, let's say. another question, here is the key one, where will patrushev be, because patrushev is a war hawk, he is the person who leads... actually that power block that was responsible for the development and, accordingly, the direct implementation of the actions of the russian occupation army at the time of the war with ukraine, this is a key question, and shoigu, this is an intermediate one, uh, yes, mr. dmytro, what would we like to ask you about another and generally operational situation at the front, according to dibstate maps we see that... the situation in the novopavlovsk and pokrovsk directions very, very difficult, there is simply an unreal number of their units, i mean theirs , they are russian, eh, well, they are there and they are working and working, what do you think about the operational si

time, that is, one of the two. and of course this person, she is not, the shoigu did not answer to theilitary, he did not understand military affairs, this one even more does not understand military affairs, but he will either be, which will be negative for us, he will more rationally use funds for those or other operations, or what would be the best option for us, he will be better than shoigu to corrupt the budget of the russian army, mr. alexander, well... i would also like to ask you about the situation in donbas in general, we understand that there are battles, and the battles are heavy, that is , they are not the first week, not the first month, but if we take the current situation now , taking into account the fact that the enemy is raising the stakes in the kharkiv direction for a reason, hoping so, maybe that certain or other steps will take place, perhaps not fully thought out steps, although i am more than sure that our general staff and the commander-in-chief are aware of all the threats, well, here is the question... of resources, equipment and so on and so forth, but if w

it seemed clear the air for shoigu was getting thinner. russian political commentator, sergei markov's says, one row is cut off because now uracil minute to the bench increasing twice and arrest get ready to defense minister timur ivanov shows that level of corruption around difference. we'll say are quite high shoigu will move to head, russia's state security council along with another sidelined former putin ally dmitry medvedev, once even viewed as a possible successor to putin the kremlin's new designated defense minister, the former minister for economic innovation, under a bill was off his task, putting russia's army on a long-term war footing markov's says, more than the war. >> not only soldiers, but also a technical system as our men's of draws. and the connection between artificial internet and our of drawn and missiles. and system should play a decisive role. >> and you know, jake, that same experts saying that he believes that with this move, vladimir putin won wants to make the russian military more nimble, more lethal, but als

shoigu also expressed the sympathy of the government of the russian nation with iran on the occasionf the martyrdom of ayatollah raisi and his companions. mr. ahmadian, the secretary of the supreme national security council, also expressed his hope that the national security councils of the two countries would be able to achieve the goals of tehran and moscow in further improving relations. mr. ahmadian also invited mr. shoigu to visit tehran. speech as if the judiciary said: court rulings are published if they do not violate public decency, violate national security, and violate privacy. according to mr. jahangir, so far, 90 million votes have been uploaded in the system of publishing judicial votes by anonymizing the details of the people involved in the case. the spokesperson of the judiciary also said: in the area of ​​dealing with land grabbing, 30 thousand hectares of national lands and natural resources were returned to the treasury. more than 20,000 cases related to national lands and natural resources were processed in our courts last year. it has led to the conviction of 20

shoigu to visit tehran. more than 30 foreign military attachés living in tehran paid tribute to the martyred president and his companions. military dependents attended the ministry of defense and armed forces support and signed the memorial book on this occasion . military dependents of germany today. it was a different use of knowledge and defense technology we have seen it both during the trips of the honorable president and the presence of the defense industry in various defense exhibitions. in the new round of their attacks, the zionists bombarded the area they claimed to be safe many times in the new crimes against the refugees in rafah 21 palestine martyrdom and 64 people were injured. most of the martyrs were women and children. following the attacks on kamal adwan hospital, seven people were martyred or injured. the continuation of the bombing attacks caused the indonesian field hospital and talal sultan clinic to be out of service. according to the announcement of the palestinian ministry of health

president vladimir putin has replaced shoigu as defenseman minister and the kremlin spokesperson says that change is due to the need for innovation. he wants to replace him with someone who's a civilian. what do you make of that? >> yeah, a few things. first of all, showing shoigu has been a loyal ally to put now since being an office for 12 years or so i had to deal with him many times and i was in office most people don't know. he's really not a military guy. i know you're fat flashing pictures there of him in a uniform, but it's a different system. meeting grew up as a soldier and a military thing. he's probably arguably more civilian and the military got. >> but what's interesting is it's happening now. >> i guess some people would say that putin just got his fifth term was just we just had to ceremony marking that. maybe that was a time i thought maybe shoigu would have been pushed out during the prigozhin rebellion, right? as up last year, but i guess not. >> but the bigger argument coming out of moscow right now is it russian? russia is moving toward war economy and it's true 7

the fact is that both patrushev and shoigu are dividers.dimir putin in the russian-ukrainian war, they are also war criminals, they should appear and be the ones who will appear at the international tribunal, they should be imprisoned and stand trial for the crimes they commit against ukrainians and the ukrainian states, in this case there are absolutely none there is no doubt, because, well, every evil and... every crime must be punished, that is , criminals must not drive aurus cars around red square, as they are doing now, you see shaiga, this is the so-called parade that he hosted on red square, a man who had never served in the army put on a military cassock, general epaulettes, and some state decorations, he is the second war criminal to accept him... this parade, in a word, these creatures deserve an international tribunal , in order to appear before the court and be convicted accordingly and prisoners, the only question is when it will happen, here, of course, a lot depends on our western partners, how our western partners will help

shoigu's removal from the ministry of defense strengthens the power of the chief of the general staff valery gerasimova, who also directs the war against ukraine. in this way, gerasim appears to be the main winner of the rocking, and this... is an obvious loser, writes the analyst, emphasizing the removal of mykola patrushev from the influential position of secretary of the security council and his appointment to the suspicious position of presidential assistant for shipbuilding. the fact is that patrushev and shoigu, these are vladimir putin's accomplices in the russian-ukrainian war, they are also war criminals, they should appear and be... who will appear at the international tribunal, they should be imprisoned and brought to trial for the crimes they commit against ukrainians and the ukrainian state, there is absolutely no doubt about that, because every evil and every crime must be punished, that is, criminals must not drive away in cars aurus on red square like this. you probably see shaiga now, this is the so-called parade that he hosted on red square, a man who had never serve
