A Kremlin shake-up of Russia's Defense Ministry comes at a key moment in the Ukraine war
- Standing in his dress uniform in the back of his Aurus convertible, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was driven around Red Square to review the troops during last week's Victory Day parade. Over the weekend, President Vladimir Putin replaced Shoigu — the 68-year-old was the longest serving member of his Cabinet — in a rare Kremlin shake-up that took place even as a Russian offensive in northeastern Ukraine was making gains. Just as stunning was the choice to replace Shoigu — Andrei Belousov, a 65-year-old economics expert who has never dealt with the military or other law enforcement agencies.

Vladimir Putin is preparing for a forever war
Long before the Kremlin announced the predetermined results of Russia’s presidential election in March, it was clear that Vladimir Putin’s next term in office would be a watershed moment in his rule.

Who he chose to promote or sideline wo
