The head of the Ministry of Defense of Russia may soon be “removed” and recognized as the main culprit of losses on the front.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to shift responsibility for military failures in Ukraine to the country’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. This was announced by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a report for October 5.

It is noted that the growing criticism of “partial mobilization” probably led Putin to blame the Ministry of Defense and, in particular, its head.
Thus, the Russian leader postponed the students’ call and stressed that the Ministry of Defense did not make timely changes to the regulatory framework on the lists that are not subject to mobilization.
Analysts noted that the Russian defense department is criticized by both officials and propagandists, in particular, the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, and the oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is called the owner of the PMC Wagner.
Russian bloggers believe that Shoigu will soon be “removed” and “identified as the main culprit” of the country’s military failures.
“Putin will probably hold off on firing Shoigu as long as he can in order to continue to blame him for continued military failures and gain the support of other factions… He is already working to improve his support among nationalist bloggers and siloviki like Prigozhin and Kadyrov ,” ISW summarized.
Earlier, the Kremlin justified Kadyrov’s criticism of the military leadership of the Russian Federation.
