I really don't read anything more into this removal of Shoigu than what meets the eye and obvious explanation that Putin has come to realize this war is going to go on for years. Moving Shoigu to the head of security council is more than just a polite way to get him out of the way, as that is what Shoigu is actually good at... he is a master politician and was never a military type. The new Defense minister now has the role of 'serving' the military by making sure they get everything they need. The most important military role inside the armed forces is now the Chief of staff - currently held by Gerasimov... It will be interesting to see if he keeps that job. Bottom line, this is NOT good news for Ukraine, just the opposite unfortunately in my view.

Yes ... the Ukrainians are probably very unhappy at Shoigu's departure. He was a major asset in the defeat of Russia; well, more specifically, his INCOMPETENCE was a major asset costing the Russians 100's of billions of rubles and a major swath of the young men that will be critical in Russia's survival, if only demographically. Bringing in someone who has no hands-on military experience can only turn-out to be a worse disaster. By comparison, Stalin (who Putin models himself after supposedly) had a huge cadre of competent generals and could afford to sack aka liquidate. He was willing to listen to the and take advice from several, notably Zhukov. Same meat-wave attacks aka slaughters, but well-directed, exploiting something they has massive amounts of - men and materiel.
