With a new role as security council, Shoiigu is actually got promoted

Bets on how long before Shoigu has an apointment with a window...

…wait, is that Shoigu at the 7th floor window? 🪟 👀

Shoigu hasn’t been sacked, he’s been promoted!

He has been promoted. He had requested to retire several years ago.

So this new guy is not a military man but the " albert speer " ... Should tell you everything you need to know.

I was a big fan of Shoigu. Particularly all the footage the russians kindly supplied us of him being shown round weapons factories looking utterly baffled and clueless as to what is actually going on. Comedy gold.

I'm sorry to see him go. While his replacement will certainly be incompetent, it's hard to imagine he could be as incompetent as Shoigu.

The interesting defence minister is the guy before Shoigu: Serdyukov...who was fired so Shoigu could take his job. Why was he fired? Well, Serdyukov wanted to modernise the military to more along western lines...oh, the hubris and the irony.

Re arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Putins ship is going down 😂

Shoigu's replacement has zero military experience. Would that be an improvement?

The brother who runs the "Inside Russia" channel here on YT said that Shoigu's replacement has experience in raises taxes. Putin needs him to squeeze even more money out of citizens and corporations to fund their war effort.

"catasstophically bad" "unpopular with his troops" to listen to TR you would think Russia was losing

Shoigu was Ukraines best assett within PooTins formidable government...at least 1/3rd of procurement went into his pockets!

Putin enters the chat. "When stealing the military budget it's always better to hire an accountant then a builder".😂 #BYE_BYE_SHOIGU

So unpopular he is promoted.

Fired😂😂😂😂😂 he got a promotion. I wouldn't expect Mark to know the difference

The Russians. Fighting Nazis during WW2, and still fighting Nazis today

Putin might be planning to toss Shoigu under the bus and blame him for all the failures. Also Sir-Guy Shy-goo? who pronounces his name like that?

Did he say Sirguy Soygoo? 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Prigozhin: SHOIGU! Shoighu: Launch the SAM

Mark Galeotti is a treasure!

Constantin on his inside Russia Channel has said that Shoigu has indeed been demoted to a position with a fancy name but of no actual power.

I just read that Shoigu had absolutely NO prior military experience when he was appointed to the job. Of course his replacement has no experience either so - there you go.

Mark Galeotti has analyzed the appointment of new cabinets lastnight on his personal YT, obviously his analysis is almost perfect and accurately, there's disconnection boiling crisis in the pootin cycles.

Russians are confused by this move, and will come here to find out what's really behind it.

SHOIGO! I said LUNCH, not LAUNCH!!!

This guy is even more incompentent than he is corrupt.

He put his hand in the money far too deeply, even for Russia.

Anyone who gets promoted to job with more authority is technically 'fired' from their old job. Leave it to the British propaganda to frame the event in a bizarre technical way.

I hope they keep him if he is so bad.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can you imagine hiking in Siberia with Putin? You would never have confidence that you would awake to see the next day.

Oh, hi Mark!

So, Russia is putting more qualified people into positions of power... Some Western countries can learn from that.

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.

Shoigu was following Putin's orders to the letter so he couldn't be that bad.

Sad news that the incredibly incompetent Shoigu is gone.

Stay away from windows Sergei and forget taking a jet anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Promotion, is what you get right before you get sent for the cold one ! Or, the dirt nap !

This is what happens when you don't know where the ammo is.....

Love how the interviewer stumbles all over shoigu’s name. Proooo-sessional. 👍

SHOIIIIGUUUU!!

Thank you . 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Poots could have had another decadent decade in his Grand Hotel Kremlin if he had not fallen for the further seduction of adding to his legacy with three glorious days to take Kiev. Instead has lost his admired original elite brigades and now reshuffling his henchmen to stave off the likely legacy of a collapsed Federation.

The money for Kharkov defense has gone through the laundry.

Latest rumor: Shoigu lives now permanently in a basement. And refuses to visit any room with a window.... Why oh why I do wonder??

Gorbachev was the last great Russian Statesman, so far anyway

He is doing a great job. So is Putin... at failing miserably. Putin is incompetent and a very poor military strategist; so it is best if he is not replaced with someone with an actual brain.

I heard he was applying for an apprentice job at garage 54.

He should not go near windows....

Drink your tea Sergei while its still nice and hot.

Shoigu, never served but his chest full with "awards"..... How will real soldiers feel about that?

Ukraine was supposed to recover their lost territories and instead are losing more land. What 'appened?!

Shogui has been trying to retire for a while now but Putin kept requesting to keep him on same with Lavrov. I think Shogui just wants to wind down

Shoigu was pretty resoundingly incompetent and corrupt. I certainly hope his replacement is at least as incompetent.

Just another 'ruler' meeting his end within a decade. Does the cycle of history persist?

How is it that Ukraine did not at least have a summer offensive ready to go once enough artillery shells were delivered ? The high end Western tanks were supposed to be a huge deal. A few F16 groups were supposed to be coming on line about now. Do they even need more than artillery to push back against the current Russian drive and just keep pushing ?

Wow, Putin was really in a gracious mood with Shoigu. No unfortunate incident for Shoigu? Amazing!

every see the SPV, the Angel interceptor, an SPC and Thunderbird 2 in the background?

Prigozhin hated Shoigu.

shoigu got canned!!?? I'm laughing my gerasimov...

According to new attac by Russia near Charkiv they lost over 1700 soldiers and 30 tanks and some howitzers.

Thank you for your service great Shoigu. May god guide your life ❤

He would best keep away from open windows !

Why do ground floor flats cost so much in Moscow?

Thunderbird 2 on his bookshelf.

Shoigu gone things could get worse ,, all have to go to the Hague at some point for crimes against humanity .

I swear I saw shoigu and maybe his wife in 2010 olympics in Whistler Canada in their Russian sports wear walking the Whistler village. Makes sense because he help build Sochi. Can anyone verify if he was in Candida in 2010 fir the Winter Olympics?

Shoigu is only moving to a different very senior role in Russia - Shoigu is a star in the Russian military, Putins trusted buddy.

How was he fired when he's been selected to represent Russia at the UN.

To Maria Avdeeva, not all heroines wear battle dresses

Its NOT Ukraine : it is NATO ...

Changing defence minister won’t make things any better for Russian soldiers. Their life means nothing to them. By the looks of things. Russian soldiers don’t mind dying for nothing 🤷‍♂️

Looks as though kaputin is re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanicovich.

Russia's Henry Ford moment?

I thought Shoigu was Japanese 👀

A permanent war economy will result in an even poorer Russian populace. Military spending is "non-regenerative" .... that is you divert wealth into activities that do not generate any further wealth. How tolerant is the Russian population to being kept as perpetual poor peasants? Maybe, it's open ended after generations of it.

You guys are obviously clueless as what's happening. Shoigu hasn't been fired he's been promoted. Educate yourselves a bit about the structure of the Russian government before making assumptions based on nothing but your feelings.

Putin's goal is to go from catastrophically bad to just bad.

On actual news because Shougu's cushy appointment to another easier and equally as prominent position is a big nothing burger. Ukraine has received all the aid they requested and then some, now they are crying they don't have the manpower to fight and if anyone wasn't a complete dull said this was the case when the US Congress didn't agree to send more aid last year. The problem Ukraine has isn't bullets, supplies, or money issues. They don't have a population willing to fight.

As the video said, Russia is definitely signalling that it's in it for the long-term. But guess what? Two can play at that game - the combined economies of the NATO are over 22 times that of Russia's. We've got this folks, easily.

Europe has together an economy, almost a size of the United States. What’s preventing them from doing more?

One more for life imprisonment

'The Prime Minister...' ?? Its been a week or 2, who is it now? Cameron again? Or a new one?😂😂😂😂😂

You can't say it was all the western supplies it was America that wouldn't give consent to supply Ukraine with more weapons bearing in mind those same weapons were sitting on polish soil for months

It was that horrible Shoigu that started the war not Putin. Putin didn't want a war honestly he didn't. So now we know who's to blame Putin can pull out.

Shoigu He wasn't fired. He was reshuffled to a new role . 😂😂😂. Replaced by an economist . Neither any military experience. Smart 🧠 move !!!

Reindeer herder by trade - what poo expected of him?

Shoygu não é bom nem mau. A Ucrânia é que é um país de guerreiros com Honra e Glória. Putin é um pavão que não compreendeu com quem se metia😊 For Your Glory 🇺🇦

Shogun est un héros.personne ne saurait le nier.il se repose en attendant la victoire à co

58k views. No one cares, that Belousov became minister of defence 🥺🤣

Shoi gun 😂

Чтобы агрессор оставался в своей стране и сам решал свои проблемы.

Czech ammo always coming next month. They started saying that 3 months ago!!!

One of the biggest problems for dictators generally is developing a competent military that then turns itself on you. Thus explaining the very ineffective Russian forces.

Rule number 1: Don't poke the Bear Rule number 2: Don't bluff the Dragon Rule number 3: Never forget rule 1 and 2

I do wish Times radio wouldn't open with some sound-bite that is then repeated part way through the discussion.... It doesn't make for good continuity.

This new guy has what military qualifications?

I hope the warriors in Ukraine keep up hope. The Russians desperately want a big win before F16s and new supplies arrive. They know this could be their last major push.
