Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has been removed in a significant move by President Vladimir Putin. Putin has replaced Shoigu, once known to be his trusted ally, with Andrey Belousov, a revered economist and the current deputy prime minister for the Kremlin. This reshuffle in the Russia defence cabinet comes as the country continues its offensive against Ukraine. While addressing the shift, the Kremlin has said that "it is very important to integrate the economy of the security sector to the economy of the whole country. Integrate, so that it is in accordance with the dynamic of the current time." As his nomination was announced, Belousov spoke on the adversaries faced by Russian soldiers fighting the war in Ukraine, and discussed wartime benefits for these military personnel. Does this high-profile shake-up in President Putin's cabinet signal towards his shifting strategies in the war in Ukraine? Palki Sharma tells you on Vantage.

He was NOT sacked. He was promoted. Why must the Media lie like this?
-
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.
-
WOW, Promotion on SHIOGU, he will be the SECRETARY GENERAL on Russian Military Industrial Complex. All Russian OLIGARCH will report to SHIOGU and Shiogu will only report to one person, PUTIN. The new Defence Minister is an ECONOMIST, he will market new Russian Armaments and Fuel Energy.

Credibility will be lost if no correction is made
-
Shoigu was promoted not sacked..
-
She said Pakistan is broke and then asks why Pakistan is buying cheaper Chinese weapons instead of expensive weapons from other countries. If you broke you go to the discount store not Gucci.
-
this is a misleading news. he has been promoted to higher position under Russia Security Council after Putin.
-
Russia defence minister has not been sacked. He has only been promoted to a higher position.
-
Promoted, top dog. PLUS top dog for arms production. Brilliant.
-
Promotion is un-usually described as 'he fired his defense minister'. Why the spin.
-
Sack?! Cheap eye-catching headlines are expected from MSM but hardly from a neutral and rising source.
-
Surprised Palki has not done her research here. He has been promoted to an head of security Council. I don't expect this amateur level. Of reporting for a great reporter like het
-
Let peace reign in every nation🙌🏼
-
See...india people said this news channel is the best...PATHETIC...look at the title such misleading...nobody sack him but promoting him...
-
He was a civilian who wanted to retire 2 years ago. He was promoted.
-
For God s sake. SHOIGU WAS PROMOTED.. Really you need to be more analitica and less propagandist..
-
Shoigu has a new job even higher responsibilities in his new position!! You my dear lady don’t have all the facts! 😂😂😂 You may be too fast to do reporting on some things happening in order to be “first” to get the news out!
-
Ms. Sharma, why this false video title…how can you overlook the promotion of the defence minister to become the secretary of security…. We, your viewers hold you to a very high standard based on your outstanding quality of journalism. Suggest you actually sack the person who does your video Titels but do not promote that person to a higher position. 😂
-
He was not sack, he´s been promoted to a more senior position.
-
Secretary of Security Council has more power than a minister.
