Putin's New Defence Minister Pick's Big Claims On Ukraine War: Entire Strategy To Change? | Belousov 

Hmmm, this guy seems to be all about taking care of the soldiers; both during and after the war. Smart move. Shoigu was the master of military logistics and built the steamroller; don't need another guy like that. This man seems to be the kind of guy you want *AFTER* the war...

only a Genius man knows how to take care of Mighty Russia .

Oh I get putin's poont.Since Gerasimov is there to handle the war front with his vast experience, you will then need a financially prudent person to manage the military spending .Soigu has been elevated as well .That is a good move

With a new role as security council ,Shoigu is actually got promoted in my opinion,

God bless peace

What a privilege must be to serve the most clever and well prepared statesman of our days!

A good employee know how to do the work but a good leader know how to use the right employee.

A man who is fed well, is a man of motivation.

Miltary experience not that important for the position. He will be in charge of producing weapons at cost affective way. No war planning in ground operations or tactics.

Good move. The brain is Gerasimov, not Shoigu

Wow, a country that prioritizes the quality of life of their military personnel during and after service. Add to that the prevention of bloated military spending and improving efficiency. In 2022, The Department of Defense had spending appropriations of $1.6 trillion dollars and a GAO audit that revealed that the Department of Defense couldn’t account for $4.5 trillion dollars of their appropriations spent. Maybe we could learn something new?.

Defence Ministers do not determine on battlefield strategies, that is up to the generals.

Putin's reshuffle is deep.

we all better start learning russian, soon it will become the number one language in the world and Spanish will be second...p'tin/AMLO/Spain # ☝

God bless Russia .

This prove that logistic is the key for winning wars.

He has been promoted as the secretary of the security council and he has been given responsibilities to look after the vast military industrial complex in order to ramp up the production of all kinds of weapons to support the war. Putin doesn’t want him to be involved with everything as he wants him to look after the military industrial complex. The one who has been appointed as the defence minister is a highly respected guy who has so much of experience handling affairs in kremlin.

Well done Russia... I know it hurts some people... But stuff happens right?😅😅😅

Russia is not leaving war footing any time soon. So, they need a sustainable program of military personnel coming into the front lines and returning satisfactorily from the front lines. It’s all about developing a sustainable war economy for the foreseeable future. What other country has anything comparable? Russia’s economy will in some senses become “elite” when it comes to military-conflict sustainability. The US’s mini-wars were not sustainable and completely debt-driven-more than has ever been acknowledged. Russia’s military will look like an elite athlete and the US’s like Miss Piggy.

As I understand it Shoigu has now assumed the position of Putin's second in command. I have worried about what would happen to Russia should anything happen to Putin. Shoigu would fill any interregnum admirably. He has been paraded over the years before the troops, he has an international profile and years of friendship with Putin and presumably sympathy with his goals. I had thought that Putin might do what Yeltsin did and bring forward an unknown. This way is better. Time will tell.

Beousov has nothing to do with the Ukraine SMO strategy, that is the role of the Chief of the Armed Forces Grasimov. Belousov is in charge of the Defense Ministry which is a very large department covering military procurement and supply to the armed forces. Shoigu in his new role is directly responsible for the military complex and the military weapons research unit, a role he was carrying out as Defense Minister with great success. Thee moves are to improve the efficiencies of the military operations for the SMO and future war with NATO should they be dumb enough to start one directly.

Shoigu also didn't have a military background when he became Defense Minister.

VERY GOOD MOVE BY THE PRESIDENT TO CHANGE SOME MEN TO HANDLE WAR SITUATION AND TO ASSESS THE WAR.

USA veteran affairs and every government should be paying attention to how Russia evaluating and treating the men and women who serve their nation.

Good luck to you sir

Fantastic news.

Putin on a different level in intelligence,leadership and foresight .

Time to look at the economic objectives - end goal

In the history of Russia there never has been a Defense Minister with Military experience , except for a very short period , Shougiu himself is not a military man but a civil Engineer , an able administer, likewise is the one who replaces him,

God bless you 🙏

Grand Master Putin make a brillant move

From Russian side....for peaceful agreeable offer for both sides may be issued.....LET UKRAINIAN PEACEFUL CIVILIAN REALISE ....

Comparable to what American enlisted men get.

oui bravo avec un nouveau homme de defense minisitre du Russie

The BEAR is walking proudly towards its goals... A smart Bear does not let itself to be beaten from strangers and protects his kin...

Smart men

Human resource manager, right there ❤

This is by no means a demotion for Shoigu as too many western pundits like to think and claim. Shoigu is from Tuva, southern Siberia which is situated on the central Asian border with Mongolia. This is the geographical 'center of Asia' by tradition, thus the Security Council of Russia now has a Turkic speaking native in the top consultative position. Bear in mind that Shoigu had not had a military career like that of Gerasimov and was part soldier, part politician who had held the position of Head of Emergency Situations for 20 years, first under Yeltsin then Putin. This post covers some military interventions (and Shoigu was promoted through the ranks accordingly) but is responsible in the main for development of regions, infrastructure, efficient use of personnel, surveying for sites for military bases and production hubs as well as dealing with natural emergencies such as landshift, weatherproofing, water and the logistics of supplies. Note especially that Russia's greatest treasure -- its rail network -- runs through lower and middle Siberia with the BAM railway dating from the 1970s and the TSRailway being older and needing major upgrading. Shoigu's degrees are in civil engineering. As Russia's economic strength has grown steadily and surely into its interior and trade is mainly in the Asian biggest markets ever known on the planet, Putin stuck mainly to Yeltsin's vision of internal development and trade with growing populations. Yeltsin was Trans-Uralian and admitted than energetic young Putin took a while to comprehend a bigger Russia than the 'city boy' understood at first. Shoigu and Putin happened to get on personally and Putin is a listener, whether the west likes it or not. To reward Shoigu and also test his political acuity Putin as PM put him in charge of greater Moscow for 4 years then created the post of rapid response, which meant oversight of civil defense, emergency services, expert elements of the army (not least in heading research into Arctic seaway 'gigaports') and Shoigu proved to be adept at gathering the best minds across the board and notably from the armed forces. In a way the Defence Minister post did not make best use of Shoigu when Gerasimov and a set of highly qualified and trained young commanders complained about duplication. When Shoigu failed to spot a corrupt person on his own staff he evidently offered to resign but Putin and Gerasimov did not want that. Gerasimov had often expressed concern about due support for professional military personnel and wanted improvements for vets and in making the military attractive to recruits. Shoigu wanted the same so the obvious thing was put an economist politician in the Defense job and strengthen the Security Council with more senior people than it had seen since Yeltsin's emergency years when the body was created under a different name. The strong implication here is that the SC will operate on projects preparing Russia for its next phase of intra-national development based around the CIS in the west and south and extend further through very large regions to the Pacific. Even if the PRC economy hits bumps Russia will be the supply source for other Asian players. Immigration into the steppes and Siberian regions will tend to be from the south. "Native Russians" cannot suddenly go into reproductive overdrive!

Nice PICK❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊

Mr. Shoigu also does not have military experience but a construction engineer as was reported. He served for 12 years as Russian Defense Minister. The new Defense Chief also does not have military experience. He is an economist. There is a reason why President Putin is bringing him to spearhead the affairs of the Defense Ministry.

Kyllä se on mahtavaa, että on vielä kurin ja järjestyksen valtioita. Ihmiset on tottuneet ainakin EU, valtioissa riehumaan, heille olisi kova paikka kun olisi yht äkkiä kuri ja järjestys, heille se olisi kova isku. Valtioissa joissa on kuri ja järjestys, ja sivistys kuten venäjä, siellä tarvitsee vain totella annettuja sääntöjä, se on näin helppoa. Kaduilla ollaan asiallisesti eikä mellakoida, eikä yllytetä mellakoihin, näillä pärjää aina.!! >>>> Ihana venäjä..!! Kiitos..

Time will tell if this was a good CHOICE... Anyway I saw that Shoigu was promoted... Nothing changed so much .//

Yes, this is a further sign that strategic military victory is complete (Donbas is held) and we now enter a protracted period of long term military occupation throughout the remainder of Ukraine. The entirety of what was Ukraine will be occupied all the way to the a western border. Russian defense will be constructed along all borders. Ukraine has now returned to being a “buffer state.”

Deram keram azataram 🇨🇳🇰🇵🇷🇺🇮🇷

This reminds me a bit of an old Disney war cartoon: Donald Duck as a factory worker in Nazi Germany, making grenades. The russian workers are in a similar situation now.

Joshua was here

Russia should change to this strategy: Get out from Ukraine!!!

SLAVA UKRAINI!!!!!!!

This lady Valentina Matveyenko is also from Western Ukraine .

🤭At Pupu, we saw it from the beginning. it’s the carnival of the hicks and the crazy.. one nail, chase the other..🤣..

Anytime there’s changes at several different layers of upper management, and those people have no real world experience in making decisions in their supposed area, what do you expect will happen? The classic definition of a “Cluster Fook”

Miksi hullu EU, taistelee....

I want to study economics this much so that my country can trust me to work things around in serious situations like these😅

Russian inflation has been well below of the west. Also Russian manufacturing sector and its energy sector have been strong. In the west manufacturing sector and energy sectors have been weak

You mean that speech that putin wrote for him

Putin on mahtava pressa, tuollaisia miehiä tarvittais näitten AASIEN tilalle.

Sergey Shoigu didn’t have any military experience, either

Fabian and radio😂 start crying😂 I’m already seeing your tears everywhere 🤣

Long live Mother Russia! ✌🤍💙💖

Yes by making Russia po ay more taxes to fund the war

"не имеет никакого военного опыта". Что за чушь! Он и не должен иметь, в России все боевые задачи решает Генеральный штаб и Главнокомандующий. Министерство обороны отвечает за производство, поставки, финансирование и выплаты военным. И Белоусов самый лучший выбор, он доктор экономических наук, человек, благодаря которому Россия успешно справилась с санкциями, умнейший человек, известный своей честностью и трудолюбием, настоящий патриот.

Is Russian Security Council even important or does he just send there whoever he just fired ?

🇿🇦🇷🇺

No military experience? Brave choice

The United Nations: Russia shall immediately completely and unconditionally withdraw all military forces from the territory of Ukraine

Ukraina otetaan huostaan kaupunki kaupungilta. Siihen ei nato ja EU, mahda mitään.

GOOD REPORT AND ANALYSIS HT --- SOME OF THSE ISSUES WERE ADDRESSED EARLY IN THE WAR WITH PRYGOZHIN AND THE WAGNER GROUP. CORRUPTION COMES FROM THE SHORTCOMINGS ALL THE WAY TO THE FIRING OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF DEFENSE FOR CORRUPTION RIGHT AFTER THE INCIDENT IN ODESSA, AND THE LEAK IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL.

Seems like goin to have more people willing to go frontline

Name looks Ukrainian

What makes some states more militarily powerful than others? A growing body of research suggests that certain ‘non-material’ factors significantly affect a country's ability to translate resources into fighting power. In particular, recent studies claim that democracy, Western culture, high levels of human capital, and amicable civil-military relations enhance military effectiveness. If these studies are correct, then military power is not solely or even primarily determined by material resources, and a large chunk of international relations scholarship has been based on a flawed metric. The major finding of this article, however, suggests that this is not the case. In hundreds of battles between 1898 and 1987, the more economically developed side consistently outfought the poorer side on a soldier-for-soldier basis. This is not surprising. What is surprising is that many of the non-material factors posited to affect military capability seem to be irrelevant: when economic development is taken into account, culture and human capital become insignificant and democracy actually seems to degrade warfighting capability. In short, the conventional military dominance of Western democracies stems from superior economic development, not societal pathologies or political institutions. Therefore, a conception of military power that takes into account both the quantity of a state's resources and its level of economic development provides a sound basis for defense planning and international relations scholarship.

War is never a good thing, UK dknt want a war, I think people should just let people in there own country, war solves nothing it just makes things worse, wish they would pull out Ukraine call it a day, I'd but Putin a drink of did haha 😂

Idia sit

What a waste of money Russia is wasting on war

Pregozhin is making a party now. Gerasimov no one knows where he is and shogun has gone. What a party in hell Pregozhin is doing w his friends😅😂

. . .

Puthler's one and only priority is not to lose face...

Russia you can not imagine whats on its way towards you, you will regret what you are have done and are doing to Ukraine, you may win battles in Ukraine but you will loose more than you can imagine in Russia.

Wonder why they changed the minister when some weeks special operation has gone so well..😂

For the memory of the new minister Belousov: Ukraine is an officialy recognised member state of the UN since 1945. It operated their UN functions independent of the USSR. After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 Ukraine became completely independent. Russia signed in 1994 together with the USA, UK and France the Budapest Agreement guaranteeing the sovereignty of Ukraine (while Ukraine in turn abandonned all its nuclear weapons) and stating that it should abstain from threatening or using military force against Ukraine. When Russia, inter alia, in conflict with the 1984 agreement illegaly occupied Crimea in 2014, UNGA Res 68/262 affirmed the territorial integrity of Ukraine and condemned this occupation. When Russia illegally invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 again in conflict with that Agreement and off course in conflict with its general obligations under the UN Charter, the UN General Assembly adopted with an overwhelming majority UNGA Resolution ES-11/1, deploring the Russian invasion of Ukraine demanding a full withdrawal of Ukraine of Russian forces. Consequently on 22 March 2022 the UN International Court of Justice ordered Russia to halt the invasion of Ukraine as it has seen no evidence to support Russia's justification of the war. On 12 October 2022 the UNGA adopted by a large majority Resolution ES -11/4 calling on countries not to recognise the four regions of Ukraine which Russia has claimed following so called referendums and demanding that Moscow reverse course on its ‘attempted illegal annexation’ On 14 November 2022 the UNGA adopted Resolution ES -11/5 calling for Russia to pay war reparations to Ukraine by creating an international reparation mechanism. This resolution was further elaborated on 22 February 2023, when the UNGA adopted by a large majority Resolution ES - 11/6 called ‘Furtherance of remedy and reparation for agression against Ukraine’. It states, inter alia: 1. Reaffirms its commitment to the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine and its demand that the Russian Federation immediately cease its use of force against Ukraine and that the Russian Federation immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders, extending to its territorial waters; 2. Recognizes that the Russian Federation must be held to account for any violations of international law in or against Ukraine, including its aggression in violation of the Charter of the United Nations, as well as any violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law, and that it must bear the legal consequences of all of its internationally wrongful acts, including making reparation for the injury, including any damage, caused by such acts; 3. Recognizes also the need for the establishment, in cooperation with Ukraine, of an international mechanism for reparation for damage, loss or injury, and arising from the internationally wrongful acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine; 4. Recommends the creation by Member States, in cooperation with Ukraine, of an international register of damage to serve as a record, in documentary form, of evidence and claims information on damage, loss or injury to all natural and legal persons concerned, as well as the State of Ukraine, caused by internationally wrongful acts of the Russian Federation in or against Ukraine, as well as to promote and coordinate evidence-gathering; So far Russia continues its illegal acts. Putler is primarily responsible for that. Now Belousov is accessory.

Russian joker army

Putin is getting desperate

Laughable 😅😅

Poor old Shoigu. Replaced by a bean counter with no military experience. He must be feeling extremely bitter after his success in Ukraine and Russian losses of only half a million men and billions of dollars worth of kit.

They have truly streamlined the procedure... Shoigu will be promoted with an emphasis on the Russian military industrial complex, which the western media has not identified as a national security adviser... As a national security council adviser, he has grown closer to Putin... whereas the new guy is an economist technocrat who will bring more money for military expansion by relieving Shoigu of administrative duties!!! As usual, the Western media portrays this as a setback; nonetheless, this is an excellent step in the midst of a major NATO escalation threat.

New strategy? Russia has a strategy?
