Russian state media is confirming a huge breaking development that President Putin has removed his longtime Defense Minister and personal friend Sergei Shoigu as defense chief, who has overseen the Ukraine war since its beginning in Feb. 2022. He will now serve as head of the nation’s security council.
Hmmm. Maybe since the Ukrainian war is basically won, winding down and everyone in the world is sick of Zelenksy, Shoigu isn’t needed in that position any more.
Could be a lateral transfer: Same general duties, different job title but most certainly isn't a firing.
Don't have enough background/facts to do much but WAG here so I'm just going to shut up.
Anybody comes up with some hard data, shake my chain.
