The verdict of the former Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation is not a demonstration of the aspirations of Russian leadership to seriously fight corruption.
British Intelligence reviews the end of the former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov. This was reported in a report by the British Ministry of Defense, published on Social Network X on Monday, July 7.
On July 1, the former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov was found guilty of stealing and launching funds. The court punished him for 13 years in prison.
Prior to the arrest of April 2024, Ivanov was in charge of major construction and military project projects. In particular, the restoration of infrastructure to temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.
Messages about Ivanov’s luxurious lifestyle have caused anger even in the Kremlin itself. This is in contrast to the rhetoric of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin about the creation of the “new national elite” of those who met themselves in the war against Ukraine. Ivanov has become one of the apparent symbols of the gap between the official ideology and the reality of the lives of the elite Russian military.
It is noted that Ivanov is the most noticeable -noted figure convicted of corruption among older officials. Along with him, others, closely related to former defense minister Sergey Shoigu, is that.
Shoigu himself was fired on May 12, 2024 and was transferred to the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. This indicates the large -scale personnel purge surrounded by Putin.
According to British intelligence, deep root corruption in the Russian military ministry exacerbates the effectiveness of the army. However, its complete removal is not included in the purpose of the Russian government.
Corruption remains part of the system required for its functioning. The Kremlin, most likely, is only trying to reduce the level of robbery at the control level to maintain handling the military department, notes with the British Ministry of Defense.
Remember, on July 1, the former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Timur Ivanov was found guilty of stealing and launching funds and being punished for 13 years in prison.
