The British intelligence explained the cause of the show: how will the course of war change now

The newly minted head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has no military education, however, according to experts, the Kremlin is interested in the economic factor. Andriy Belousov can ensure the efficiency of war expenses. In Russia, after the presidential election, a number of personnel permutations took place. In particular, the Minister of Defense ceased to be Sergei Shoigu, who has not left this position for many years.

The UK Ministry of Defense Intelligence report described in more detail how it would affect further events. According to analysts, the hostile defense department is now headed by Andrey Belousov, who has previously been the Deputy Prime Minister. Sergiy Shoigu will be the chairman of the Security Council of Russia, and his predecessor Nikolai Patrushev became an assistant to the President. They are all influential and ancient allies of Vladimir Putin.

Andriy Belousov is a professional economist, but he has no military education. British intelligence suggests that the appointment of the Defense Ministry needed a Kremlin to ensure even more effectiveness of defense costs. It should also affect the closer coordination between the defense industry and the need for invaders on the battlefield.

"This is probably an extremely difficult task for Belousov, given the high level of corruption in the Russian MO and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Deputy Minister of Defense Timur Ivanov was arrested in April 2024 on charges of corruption, and the head of the staff department of Lieutenant General Yuri Kuznets. May 2024 on suspicion of involvement in the bribery scheme, "British analysts write.

Separately, the UK Ministry of Defense suggested that a change in the head of the department will have an unlikely rapid and serious impact on the further course of war. "As Putin also announced that there will be no changes in appointing senior officials in the General Staff, Russia's current approach to war is likely to be preserved," - summed up in British intelligence.
