- More than two years after the start of the war of aggression against Ukraine, Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has not reappointed his close confidant Sergei Shoigu as defense minister. Shoigu's successor will be the current deputy head of government Andrei Belousov, Russian news agencies report with reference to a message from the Federation Council. Putin's proposals for the composition of the new Russian government were received there. No official reason was given for the reshuffle.
However, there had been some speculation about the possible dismissal of 68-year-old Shoigu, who has been defense minister since 2012. A few weeks ago, one of Shoigu's deputies, Timur Ivanov, was arrested on corruption charges. Observers had interpreted this as a sign of power struggles within the Russian military and security apparatus.
Shoigu is reportedly set to become secretary of the Security Council, a powerful post previously held by hardliner Nikolai Patrushev.
Shoigu's 65-year-old successor, Belousov, was Putin's economic adviser for many years and has held various positions in the government in recent years.

He got a new office up on one of the higher floors, it has great windows.
Shoigu with all those medals, but never entered a battle in his life 😂
He will lead in Africa most of us whom kept track of Russia politics predicted this
Didn't he fight and achieve the goals? Didn't he build the Russian military to become what it is now?

this "non-binary person" is a top notch russian military and political expert lol
ring in the lip lost my credibility score sorry
Not answering the questions at all hit her credibility hard too.
So...Prigozhin was right all along;
How do you come to that conclusion What is so strange about Him being giving a different assignment you guys are weird.
Shoigu was like, "What? I had him killed! Thats what you wanted, right?"
Putin: noooooo my poor chef :( Ima miss his meatballs.
@@coreyguy5216 Probably due to the fact that recently, Deputy Defence Minister Timur Ivanov was arrested being investigated for corruption charges and a lot points to the fact that he was sabotaging prigozhin since he was secretly planning to steal his money/assets. All this led to putin losing a very important asset (prigozhin) in the war. Apparently shoigu may not be an accomplice but he got played. Putin is not happy to say the least. Incredible how he would let an economist take his role, someone with zero military experience. But right now, putin values loyalty the most.
@@coreyguy5216you don’t replace a defence minister that’s doing a good job.
He’s essentially been removed to a post where his incompetence can’t create issues

@@samuellopesbaule5745 DW still has a lot to learn from its Russia peers
Ukraine hit the 10 floor block of apartments in Belgorod in Russia making a giant hole from 1 to the last floor, 16 flats collapsed. Kids died, a newborn baby is in the hospital with burnt face and neck. Many died, wounded, missing. Not a word about it in the NYT, Washington Post, Politico, Economist. Imagine what photographic drama they'd make out of it this was Ukraine. Their minister said they need HUNDREDS of billions to win.
@@samuellopesbaule5745I don’t want to buy a donkey. Sorry.
Even a promotion is painted as a dark moment. Jeez.
Normally you promote someone who has done a good job. Unless you consider Shoigu has done a good job when it comes to this long Ukraine war.
He got promoted. Awesome.
Shoigu is now Security Council secretary. It is not a demotion, it is a promotion. 😅
🤡
Let me get it straight is DW trying to make a promotion look bad ? 😂
It isn’t such a powerful position in the midst of SUCH a high profile war, admit it.
@@war-painter You don't know what you talking about. Secretary of security council is more powerful position than defense minister in Russia.
It's like saying head of Wagner prigozhin was more powerful than Shoigu just because he was more visible to the media.
Normally you promote someone who has done a good job. Unless you consider Shoigu has done a good job when it comes to this long Ukraine war.
EVERYONE in the west is trying to pretend he's getting sacked, when he is indeed getting promoted, yeah.
The lip ring is distracting and unprofessional. Find someone better to interview
LGBT all about attention seeking
Moustaches do the same thing. Bolton’s is distracting and unprofessional, ask him to shave it too. What about goatees?
@@war-painter you're actually crazy but you have no close friends that love you enough to tell you.
Shoigu won't have anything to steal from the council.
Putin will
@@CharlesHallESP well, there is a reason Putin is the richest man on the world. It's starving Russians who all donate to that, and have lived miserable lives to do it, for 25 years. Sad!

Everyone knows how Russia operates internally, genius...
@@vagabond919🤡
Wow. Shoigu really has managed the logistics of RU war machine well the last two years.
What happened is that Putin replaced Number Two, Patrushev. Patrushevs successor is - Shoigu.
You should ask where is Patrushev now?
@@michaelweiss2471 The question is where's Patrushev now?
well, given the fact that they control 25% of Ukraine's territory, an area which is larger than the Benelux countries, I'd say they are doing pretty well. Ukraine won't pose a danger to Russia ever again, there will be no one left to pose a danger. Cope harder.
As usual Westerm media taking every chance to misrepresent a story.
Shoigu had wanted to retire for the last few years already. But when the 2022 war began Putin asked him to stay on to see the war through.
Now Putin had just beem reelected, the usual government reshuffling that comes after that, and Putin's probably confident enough about the war to let Shoigu get his retirement.
That's the story.
So now you bring LGBT people as experts on war lol
Das Butch!

@@nuke_Godjira let it be, Zalushny is the reason why Ukraine manage to hold for 2 years. Zalushny againts the idea of counter offensive and choose to preserve military power..... after counter offensive fail, Zalushny become more popular.
At defense headquarters, why do you ask?
I wonder when they bring back General Kalashnikov 🤭
Putin: Let them keep guessing.
when election is over, ministers resign and vacate ministry. some will be reassigned, some will retire, some will be rid of, some new faces will be assigned, new ministries will be formed or ministry will be stopped. this is part and parcel of democracy for those who are familiar.
Damn, he tenido que poner un trapo en el lado derecho de mi pantalla para ver la noticia.
He got promoted and not removed!
Normally you promote someone who has done a good job. Unless you consider Shoigu has done a good job when it comes to this long Ukraine war.
There is news of Russian capability to launch nukes from satellites and jam GPS in the Baltic States.
Everything goes according to plan of course.
Actually Shoigu was promoted as minister of defense industry ( it pays better) also he now occupies a chair as a member of the security council ( in other words he is among those that dictates russian external and internal politics)
People who don't just watch Western news know that he has wanted to retire for a few years.
Exactly! Shoigu and Lawrow have already asked to leave their positions 2 or 3 years ago, but Putin asked both of them to stay, because USA and Ukraine prepared the escalation of the conflict against Donbas. Lawrow wanted to retire due his high age and Shoigu wanted to spend his old days by fishing and staying in the woods. Actualy that‘s nothing new.
So right. Since February 2022, like >2 years ago
@@neko1533Ok, if you say so. Do you fluff at their bathhouse?

war is all about supply chains and manufacturing - makes sense
Exactly!
Putin replaced his defense minister with a man that has no military background.
Perfect.. maybe he can replaced next this man with a Choco 😂😂😂😂ice cream 🍨 vendor!
Shoigu had no military background
@@war-painter they write before they think
Russian defense ministry is ALWAYS a civillian post.
Shoigu is an ENGINEER.
The analyst did not answer the questions at all, but I think she was pleased with how she looked on television. Why was there this reshuffle? She did not give any answers.
"Why was there this reshuffle?"
Because that always happens after an election, because the parliament has to approve any new appointments and changes.
Why do I have to that metal face? WTF are they sending in front of a camera.
Is this Putin's Special Promotion Operation?
Putin now has the correct bulldog to realize offensive strategies.
Very unusual pick. He chose a civil servant/technocrat dealing with economic and financial affairs to run the defense ministry?
The purpose is to suck more money out of domestic russian businesses before the entire country goes belly up. Because putin LOVES his country so much. Hes a vampire.
a good choice. The new guy will be able to efficiently allocate money where it is needed. He is smart. The military issues are anyways the job of his "employees". He just oversees them.
"And now the non-binary perspective on the war from Latvia..."
how can you take someone cosplaying as a Borg Seriously?
He’s being promoted to next security chief dudes!
Has Germany considered the consequences of a Russian succession and its impacr on everything including waves of immigration?
If they're not trying to "immigrate" in armored vehicles, I'm sure Germany can deal with whatever comes after the war.
Waves of immigration are the result of Obamas regime-change-order against Syria and Libya.
I don't think Mr. Shoigu is that big, so a toilet window on the top floor should be enough....
He will now be given a good job on the executive board of Deutsche Bank.
"Putin removes defense minister Shoigu"
REMOVES???
PROMOTES.
It sounds like a promotion than removal.. and probably a compromise between some big Generals & Shoigu as they dont get along..
It is a promotion. He now effectively becomes something that in USA would be similar to being the National security advisor combined with deputy chief of staff and being in charge of military industry. But without having to be responsible for the stress and administration of the SMO.
Putin was going to replace shougooooo with proghozchin😂😂😂 but the he realized he had a little accident sometime ago😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 не ну пригожин был овоще-бабкой а шойгу то чем не угодил? вроде везде подходил 🤷🏻😂
@@w1113zuch huh ?
He got promoted. So what?
LOL promoted away from command of the military.
It was obvious and we all saw it coming
Why? Because of the construction project fraud?
Saying, that Putin "removes" defense minister Shoigu, is a little misleading,
because Shoigu was not "removed", but just moved to another senior position within Government.
In some of the Western countries it is quite common, and it is called "Reshuffle".
I think it's in their constitution to retire old officials when there is a newly elected president eventhough its still the former president.
So putin finally fulfilled prigozins last wish
He was simply demoted for incompetence and just transferred to another lower position....Next would be forced retirement bcoz of old age 😅😅😊
Ring in a lip - so unprofessional
how about taking the ring out your lip if your gonna be shown on tv speaking.....
No more Germans in Germany reporting for DW? You had to hire Asians?
what a joke to have a latvian man/woman as partner for this russian theme. this is some joke?
To be fair, many Russian-based journalists have had to flee to Latvia.
It's Bulgarian.
Removal or Promotion?
Promotion!
Was he promoted or demoted?
Promoted.
Guys you send to Russia someone who cant even read nor has ever heard Russia's internal ministry's surname on radio or TV.
She named Peskov as Paskov. Is she simply a random American girl interviewed at a street?
Changing horses in midstream seems to be the Russian way of managing people.
Let's wait and see.
There was an election. The cabinet as part of that have to be approved by parliament.
Which is why it is NORMAL to do any cabinet reshuffling at that time.
Want to know who is the Defenestration Minister? easy guess!
Check ✔️ mate
Shoigu was not replaced he was promoted.
Normally you promote someone who has done a good job. Unless you consider Shoigu has done a good job when it comes to this long Ukraine war.

❌He’s one of the few persons Putin will trust with his life and they both vacation very often together, Putin is likely probably just protecting him since the war in Ukraine haven’t been moving forward in quite some time and his popularity has decreased so I think Putin is just protecting his friend from the heat but Shoigu is still going to be the one calling the shot in Ukraine since he has all the experience already, he’s only going to be doing so forma more confortable place 😌🇷🇺💪🏻 GOD BLESS RUSSIA 🇷🇺
The reporting said Shoigu is also responsible for the military industrial complex along with being the Head of the National Security Council. This sound like a promotion!
Menarik banget!!! Warga sipil jadi menteri pertahanan!!! Masuk akal sih. Karena yang dipertahankan adalah mayoritas sipil. Jadi akan lebih mengerti. Tidak akan hanya memikirkan cara mempertahankan angkatan bersenjata.

What next - will open bleeding sores become the height of chic?
Best pick By Mr Putin to promote Mr Shoigu to this Strategic Higher Position
Game changer
Prigozhin was made to believe he genuinely got promoted!
I don't know how Shoigu is gonna react when the new staff will show up to him with travel documents for a presidential mission abroad!
would he risk it all on one way ticket soviet era Illushin plane or would he be a champion of "progress-green, clean energy" whatever..! to get the presidential mission done on a horse chariot?!
Shougi promoted.
Nice move Putin i had bad feelings for this guy, i hope you put someone who will do better and end this war
