How the West of the EU were Cheating and avoid to Comply with the Minsk Agreements!. The Cheating Was confirmed by the Chancellor of Germanya.

Belousov is one of the senior Russian officials who helped Russia successfully overcome the difficulties resulting from Western sanctions and realize economic growth for the country since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. With the competence of Belousov Russia will combine its military targets with the demands of economic development, so that economic growth supports the military operation and to make the military operation give momentum to development and drive sci-tech development

Contrary to what Alexander mentioned, since the Soviet Revolution, Russia had 26 Defence ministers. Only 7 of them (including Staling himself) were civilians.

One thing notable about Belousov is that he completely rejects the liberal economic theories in favor of a government-directed, nationalized economy, something akin to wartime economy.

Indeed!

All I can say is that a survey of the Russian language telegram channels, including those by well-known names, including those that appear on channel one (in Russia) and so forth, tells me a story about the Shoigu - Andrei Belousov shakeup that is more complex than the one being described here. Corruption in Russia, to be sure, is not anywhere near the level that it has been for decades now in Ukraine, but it would be extremely naïve to ignore the institution of kick-backs and the like, that does exist there. There is overwhelming agreement, right across the political spectrum inside Russia, from the loyal left to the loyal right, that Belousov is incorruptible, brilliant, and a huge improvement over the status quo.

Dear Gents, Very thorough analysis of the Russian political structure and Mr. Putin's cabinet nominations. Thank you for this insightful lesson in Russian politics and the aftermath of the recent reelection of Mr Putin. Cheers,

The most well thought out reshuffle I have ever seen. He's in this for the long haul just in case the war takes a bit longer than expected and it wont bring the country down. And he is taking care with his troops. WOW!

Belousov already delivered a few insightful speeches in which he outlined various areas of his focus and what he is planning to do within MOD. Some of the points he mentioned was the need to expand manufacturing in Russia of various components needed for the army equipment. The need to "Localise more" was one of his points. The second most important point he made was the need to resolve a number of internal procedural issues in order to speed up and improve social and financial support for families of those in front lines and for their enhanced monetary, housing and various other benefits. He didn't give away too much and he is indeed a very experienced and shrewd strategist. He in fact highlighted the need for Russia to be able to support not just SMO in Ukraine, but possible other conflicts around the globe. So, all-in-all, this is a very capable man with experience of successful delivery.

I think Putin wants Lavrov more for BRICS than the mess in Ukraine, but he does also want him for the final negotiations on Ukraine. I would guess that he'll retire in about two years when Ukraine is well settled and the BRICS are humming along. Another great program, THANKS!
