Putin proposes firing Shoigu, appointing new defense minister
by The Kyiv Independent news desk May 12, 2024 9:42 PM
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on May 12 proposed firing Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and nominated Andrei Belousov to replace him, according to the Telegram channel of the Federation Council, the Russian parliament's upper house.
Belousov was Russia's economy minister in 2012-2013, an aide to Putin in 2013-2020, and first deputy prime minister in 2020-2024.
Shoigu has faced criticism from Russia's pro-war hawks for mishandling the war effort in Ukraine.
Putin appointed Shoigu as the secretary of Russia's security council, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. Shoigu is replacing Nikolai Patrushev, who has been the council's secretary since 2008.

Huh, that's weird.
Here we have the incredible Russian army, steam-rolling everyone and certain to destroy NATO if ever confronted directly... firing their minister of defense?
I don't get it. According to many in this thread, things are going amazingly well for Russia right now, so why would they fire their minister of defense? That makes no sense to me. Why replace someone who has overseen such tremendous success?
