The Ukrainian army is rapidly routing on the front line, but a major earthquake suddenly occurred within the top of the Russian army, why is it said that Putin is preparing for a full-scale war? Putin has just been officially re-elected as president, and he has launched a drastic reform of the country, and the Russian political arena has ushered in a major earthquake, and many high-level positions have changed, the most surprising thing is that the number one leader of the Russian military, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, has changed personnel.
According to RIA Novosti, Putin has nominated Belousov for the post of new Russian defense minister. Former Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu will leave office as secretary of the Russian Security Council, and he will also serve as deputy chairman of the Russian military-industrial complex committee and continue to lead the relevant work of the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation.
Previously, his assistant, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Ivanov, was arrested on charges of corruption. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Shoigu stepped down at the age of 68 and can still hold important positions in the Russian army, which can be said to be a very decent resignation.
Putin's appointment of Belousov to replace Shoigu this time actually has a deep intention, and he may even be making adequate preparations for the next war.
Perhaps many people are not familiar with Belousov, and it is no wonder that he has been deeply involved in the economic field for many years and is a good hand in the Russian political arena. But don't let this underestimate the capabilities of the incoming new defense minister, who also has a unique view of the military and has vigorously promoted the development of Russian drones. In fact, the ultimate purpose of placing this economic expert in this important post of defense minister is to carry out military reform.
According to Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, whoever knows how to innovate better will be able to achieve victory on the battlefield. Belousov's first task in office is to effectively coordinate Russia's economy and national defense. Let national defense affairs and economic development enter a mutually reinforcing relationship, and provide more powerful support for the Russian army's next war.
It is worth noting that as the Russian army continues to advance in the Kharkiv direction, a number of experts, including former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, have analyzed the situation in Russia and Ukraine and come to the conclusion that the Ukrainian army is rapidly routing on the front line. Therefore, in the opinion of analysts, Putin's choice to carry out drastic reform of the army at this time is likely to be preparing for the next full-scale war.
With the Ukrainian army's continuous losses on the front line, many Western countries are preparing to move and try to provide more powerful support to Kyiv. There is news that the French Foreign Legion has arrived in Kyiv, and the British are also clamoring for the Ukrainian army to use the country's weapons to attack the Russian mainland. This series of signs indicates that the possibility of a major war between Russia and the West is increasing.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for Putin to optimize the army and be well prepared for a potential full-scale war. (Defective)
