Russian President Putin has proposed moving Defence Chief Shoigu to a new role in the Security Council and appointing civilian Andrei Belousov as the new Defence Minister, amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This significant military command shake-up coincides with Putin's fifth presidential term and follows the resignation of the entire Russian cabinet.
The move aims to address Shoigu's handling of the conflict and corruption accusations while maintaining continuity with Foreign Minister Lavrov and Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov. Putin's appointment of an economist, Belousov, to oversee the military signals a potential power struggle within the military and a shift in leadership dynamics.
