Russia Touts "Very High Post" for Shoigu as Economist Takes Defence Reins For "Long War" In Ukraine

A Russian general in charge of personnel issues has been detained on suspicion of engaging in criminal activity, Tass news agency reported on May 14. News of the arrest of Lieutenant-General Yuri Kuznetsov came amid a wider overhaul of Russia’s defense ministry.
Kuznetsov served as the head of the 8th Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces from 2010 to 2023. He was detained "on suspicion of criminal activity”, Tass reported, adding that his workplace and residence had been searched.
Currency worth the equivalent of $1 million as well as "gold coins" and other "luxury items" are said to have been found in his possession.

Its a very high post, right next to the open window 🪟

[@Nanobrker]

Probably because he's not. A basic understanding of political hierarchy would tell u he's actually PROMOTED to secr of sec council which is a closer position to Putin and second after Medvedev to become president if anything happens !!! 🙄

[@jtf2dan]

shoigu would have been next in line....now he is at the bottom of the list....cant be trusted

[@Nanobrker]

@@jtf2dan is that the reason he got promoted ???? Can't be trusted with what exactly???

[@ishakjamil9767]

Agreed mature predictions.😊

[@dmitryk2058]

that's because you have very VERY little understanding about russia's political hierarchy and the so called "vertical of power". Shoigu was not "promoted". He was fired and put into a position of no real "power". Watch for this "team" being arrested right now. Watch for what follows.

[@Nanobrker]

@@dmitryk2058 I don't have to kiddo because I already seem to understand better than u. Yes keep saying he was "fired" 10 more times on from of the mirror.....maybe it'll come true. Or atleast it'll soothe the emotional damage nafo are suffering from right now !! ROFL Being secr of sec council, having access and control over security and special forces and 2nd in line after Medvedev to become president if something happens definitely feels like being "fired" ........right ??? Lmao I thought it was Putin and gerasimovs team as well that was being arrested 🤡🙄🤣🤣 cope much ???

[@d_lollol524]

a "very high post" with very little responsibilities.

[@user-bk6gx7sg3j]

His responsibilities have increased exponentially. He is now in charge of the entire military industrial complex of Russia. This was not a blind or surprising promotion. Putin and Shoigu probably discussed this for a long time. The point is that Shoigu knows more than anyone what the Russian military needs. By being in charge of the whole apparatus, he can tell who to what in order to get things done. When he was a minister of defence, he might have to go to Putin to get some things supplied. Now he can tell the naval manufacturers that he wants so many ships. If they say they do not have enough steel, he command the producers of steel to produce more.

[@jtf2dan]

@@user-bk6gx7sg3j he was talking about shoigu.....he went from the 2nd most powerful man in russia to bottom of the ladder. He had a million people under him and in charge of billions of dollars in military contracts......now shoigu has no people and no money......he has been nullified. Worse than a demotion, he is in a holding pattern

Poutine Had Given The Army Someone From The People, This Way They Can Better Connect, Something Armymen Usually Cannot Achieve! PATRUSEV Replaced By Shoigu is A High Point Because Military Experience Is Needed In The Security Council and Shoigu Is Trusted By Poutine! Bribes and Treason Must Be Dealt With!

Lets call out the reality....it is a demotion. IF russia was winning the war, why replace the Minister of Defence after over 2 years if he is getting the job done? Things ARENT going according to plan apparently.
