Putin appoints economist as defense minister amid concerns about weapons and resources 

These people are delusional..smh

Propaganda at its best

Whatever you do in your excuse for reporting, don't mention that the Kharkiv region is a major oil and gas pipeline hub. 🙄

What a pile of lies!

President Putin moving a few chess pieces around and the mainstream media jumps on it like a female dog in heat.

Demotion and now go to the national security boss. All this so called expert are behind every single day

Shoigu is also a civilian with high level technical skills. His successor is also a civilian with high level economical skills and a high level manageral skills. At least Putin has not appointed an old and demented person. That distinguish him from the USA selection people.

In Germany, there is an "idioten test" for obtaining a driver's license.Passed, get your license.If you don't pass, go work for BBC News.

unironically, maybe a smart move.

Newly appointed Economic War minister to recover russian frozen foreign assets , he knows who to attack.

Putin is smart

First let's not forget Shoigu asked to resign 2-3 years ago but Putin asked him stay on. So you might call this whatever you want but facts still are just that facts! By creating this kind of a Buffer between The Armed forces and the National defense spending is yet another brilliant move from a brilliant leader and it is absolutely serving its purpose much better and it’s going to be much more efficient under Civilian leadership. Look at any command-and-control structure in the world - Civilian or Military - and what has changed the most in the last 10 years? Answer - All have in one way, or another added a new box at the top structural level called Finance. Perfect example how great leaders evolve. Maybe US might learn something considering that according to Government watchdog - Pentagon still can't find 110 Billons unaccounted for from its 2022 budget

NATO is losing, big time. No matter how you guys sling it.

its not unusual to change things up a little. Ukraine does it too

They are becoming a meritocracy and we are becoming DEI...

At some point…..good one grandpa…..if Russia succeeds in its summer offensive then their will be a tsunami of men heading for Western Europe….so not enough men to mobilise

He replaced him at a time when they making gains! Was that strategic?

So a cut n slash guy, got it.

I wish we had a President like Mr Vladimir Putin.

The appointment of an economist to such a crucial position suggests that Putin may be prioritizing financial management and efficiency within the defense sector. This could signal a shift towards a more economically driven approach to military planning and resource allocation, which could be influenced by factors such as budget constraints or the need to modernize and streamline military operations. However, this decision could also raise concerns about the defense minister's lack of traditional military experience and expertise. Critics may question whether an economist is adequately equipped to address complex defense issues, including national security threats and military strategy. Furthermore, the timing of this appointment amid concerns about weapons and resources underscores the importance of effectively managing Russia's defense capabilities in the face of evolving security challenges. It may indicate Putin's recognition of the need to address shortcomings within the military and ensure that resources are utilized efficiently to maintain Russia's defense capabilities. Overall, Putin's decision to appoint an economist as defense minister reflects a strategic approach to addressing concerns about weapons and resources within the Russian military. However, it also raises questions about the potential implications of this unconventional appointment for Russia's defense strategy and national security posture.

It's almost like Patton being releaved from command of the 3rd army😂😂

Made me laugh out loud many times. Highly recommended watch

Noted.

I could tell him what's going to happen to their economy for free!

I reserve my comment. We will see whether he can do his job or not.

When I want to replace my top military person, I get an Economist, that makes sense.

I hope we don't run out of money before we run out of ukrainians!

I'm surprised with this kind of conclusions of Shoigu move out as defense minister; First Putin and Shoigu are friend, second Putin Understand Shoigu needs brake because he is tired of work overload for his age to lead Russians-Ukraine war. doesn't need to much brain to understand it. second Chief of staff Gerasimov he too does need brake because war is going to indefinite times.

These guys have no idea what they are talking about 😂😂😂

Before the presidential election, the government resigns and a new one is put together by the new elected president, that is what happen, how is that "unexpected government shake up"🤣🤣🤣 Shoigu was suppose to retire 3 years go and stayed longer because..ukraine, now he got promoted to the security council, just like the new MOD Shoigu is not a military guy he is a logistic manager hence no shortage of food, cloth, arms, bullets, new weapons, trench diggers equipment........

Shoigu was so bad in his duties that he only conquered almost 30% of Ukrainian territory if this is to be bad then the United States has not yet been run from Afghanistan and Africa

Lies shoigu was promoted

It will be interesting to see what happens when Putin's economist tells him that the Ukraine war will never show Russia a profit.

Meh, didn't Ukraine do the same a few months ago?

Bill just step down brother don't you love retirement

What Bill Taylor smoking? 😮 Somebody stop this flow of BS.

Replacing a military man with an economist indicates the military phase of this war is coming to an end. Next phase: economic development. That is why - understand?

Ukraine doesn't have much of an army left

ДОВОЕВАЛИСЬ? БЕЗРУКИЕ-БЕЗНОГИЕ

The man he replaced is on an airliner that ill make contact with a SAM.....sorry Sergei............

“Ousted?” You just admitted in your opening line that Shoigu was promoted.

In times of war to minimize curruption defense minister need to be economist ! Thats call smart move

Lies

NEW CLEAR WAR¿??? nothing here....

The thumbnail tho

RIP Shoigu. He better avoid windows and riding planes.

Dumb and dumber!!

Nonsense Ukrainian army is dead You're trading Cash now

We need to send a very special custom gift to Putin and let TRUMP deliver it in PERSON .

Putin needs a bean counter to make sure his capos aren't skimming more than his share of the defense budget.

How many soldiers has Ukraine lost since Russia' invasion in February 2022?

Why do you guys continue to report as if Ukraine has any chance in the world of winning this war. We need to pull all funding from this disaster.

Indian… 🤟♾️🇺🇸😎

Russian trolls: 2 years later "Russia winning" Putin: fires shiugou Russian trolls....zzzzzzz 😴....

It was most foolish on the US side to bring the NATO threat and war, as a result, to the Russian border and Crimea. As it would have been foolish from the russian side to do the very same at US Mexican border

he better stay away from windows and planes

Shoigu was "Rigging" the war against rusky , Quietly. is why porigozin protested him... putyn finally caught on ...

If I was Putin I wouldn't want missiles coming deep into Russia... He might draw the line there. I hope that Trump is in office before that happens.

If Occupied territories are real estate catogery, ofcourse asset management required🤣 billions and billions

-Go Home Orcs Slava #Ukraine! 💙

LOL😅😂🤣🇷🇺🤪

I guess Benedict Biden went to his long time ally funeral when he went to his queen funeral and got front seat.

many pro russian comments from fake accounts

Good and smart move from Vladimir Putin.

Shoigu was *promoted* ; stupid West Media. This new guy is for the postwar period; Shoigu already won the war.

😂united States sending all and his OTAN can defeat Russia by himself Russia is more powerful than all unite states OTAN

In the name of Putin we pray

Propaganda 😂 ... Ukraine is Winning

you should say "russian dictator" not a "russian president" ‼‼‼

Shoigu might disappeared or died very soon. Just like former leader of Wagner group
