Of all the official transfers, the most noteworthy is the important military post of Minister of Defense of Russia.
Belousov, a doctor of economics who served as deputy prime minister of the Russian cabinet and was in charge of trade between China and Russia, will be reassigned to the post of defense minister. Former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu will serve as secretary of the Russian Federal Security Council in the Russian Security Council, and at the same time serve as deputy chairman of the Military Industry Committee, responsible for the military work with which he is familiar.
After this change was publicly announced by Putin, it caused a lot of heated discussions.
Many people have expressed doubts about Putin's move, this year is the third year of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and it is the time to employ people, why would Putin give up the experienced Shoigu for the post of Minister of Defense and choose Belousov, who was born in economics?
In this regard, some experts have analyzed that there may be the following reasons for this change.
First of all, Shoigu has been in the post of defense minister for a long time, and his internal forces are likely to be intertwined, which is not conducive to Putin's new term of power.
Moreover, in Russian political circles, because of the arrest of former Shoigu's henchman Ivanov on suspicion of bribery, there are many doubts and criticisms of Shoigu, coupled with the slow development of Russia's military industrial strength such as air aircraft, sea ships and other military industries in recent years, Shoigu, as the defense minister, has to bear the main responsibility for the lagging development of the military.
Therefore, long before the arrival of Putin's fifth term, the outside world speculated that Shoigu would have a change in position.
Second, Belousov's succession reflects Putin's intention to innovate and develop the Ministry of Defense of the new Russian government, and allowing an economist to hold a key military post can not only inject fresh impetus into the Ministry of Defense, but also promote Russia's economic development at the same time.
In addition, Belousov can also play a role in the current Russia-Ukraine war and contribute to military spending, such as reducing war spending.
However, many people still question whether Belousov is qualified for the important military post of defense minister.
Recently, Belousov, who has just taken office, has broken through the message to solve two major problems, and many people have called it out, and it is really a specialization in the art industry.
The first major problem is that Russia, as a military power, does not lack super weapons and capable warriors, but the Russian-Ukrainian front is too long, the front-line troops are impetuous and unstable, and the medical treatment of the wounded is not perfect, and many rear soldiers cannot be treated in time.
The second problem is that although the Russian economy is still strong according to the data, this is the result of an over-reliance on import and export trade such as minerals and energy. Private enterprises in Russia have gradually been squeezed to the point of breathlessness since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, and many small private enterprises in distress have been on the verge of closure and are unable to pay wages to their employees.
This is because most of the main orders of Russian private enterprises come from Europe, and many Western countries cut off contacts with these enterprises after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine sided with Ukraine, which led to the loss of these private enterprises and the verge of collapse.
Faced with two major economic problems caught in the military, Belousov broke them one by one.
First of all, it proposed to increase subsidies and improve the remuneration of officers and men participating in military operations. Everything is safe in the rear, so that the soldiers can charge forward without scruples.
Secondly, in the face of the difficulty of medical treatment for soldiers, Belousov said that more civilian hospitals should be provided for soldiers and make full use of Russia's existing medical resources.
As for the current predicament of private enterprises in Russia due to the war, Belousov said that during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the domestic economy must be stable in order to benefit the battlefield. The relevant departments will provide low-interest loans to private enterprises that are currently experiencing problems to help them tide over the difficulties.
As soon as Belousov's proposal came out, many people praised it. I thought that the new official would burn the three fires casually, but I didn't expect it to be really powerful. At this time, Russia has the addition of economic experts in the military industry, which must be able to occupy a more dominant position in the situation between Russia and Ukraine.
