" A surprise attack on Kharkiv? " If you were surprised bro , you were the only one. 😂

Didn’t think they had a defence minister, are you sure he wasn’t the offence minister?

Every time Putin throws a temper tantrum and fires someone Ukraine should publically thank them for all their help and shared information

Shoigu's lieutenant was arrested for corruption. If I were Shoigu, I would stay away from windows in tall buildings, airplanes, cups of tea, doorknobs, etc.

Watch out soon shoigo will be flying out of the window. 😂😂😂

My question is; how does a "peace-loving" nation have a non-military "defense minister" like Shoigu with so many ribbons on his chest? Merit badges?

Tell a lie often enough and the sheeple start believing it.

Has he picked his prefered window.

Shoigu the dancing 0rc

He literally got a higher position he now serves as the head of the Russian security council.

Ha refrain back on all your excitement children 😊. The show is not over

Thank you!

To all the Russian trolls suggest you take your pay in potatoes rather than rubbles 😂

If the election was fixed does this mean that the majority could rebel at some stage,✌️

This shows that some things are not working for him.

Aren't they one and same thing? Crooks and spooks? Indivisible?

Shoigu has an appointment with a high level open window sometime very soon

It says the money is now an issue!

Paranoia big destroyer.

Good summary. Thank you. For some reason I had trouble following the cadence or emphases of interviewees speech. Pronunciation good. I don’t understand my problem (76 y o) but maybe a better microphone?

Shoigu and the other guy who was relieved have been implicated in a massive defence equipment fraud, been common knowledge for a few weeks, so why do you not mention that ?!?!

Bean counters now run the Ruzzian army... The army might now get proper military grade equipment.

Thank god it's not Christopher Steele again. If he comes back in I'll never watch times radio again.

Imagine if we concentrated on the crooks in our own government.

Abrubtly removing a long time defense minister in the middle of a war due to needing a scapegoat to blame the failures on isnt a great idea. They keep doing this with so, so many commanders in the russian military - to put a loyalists in their places not based on merit, competence and experienxe. Most were already loyalists and those who bribed the military for a privileged position. Then the Putin-regime goes surprised pikachu face when the military performs horrible and continues with doing the same thing that caused this.

Shogu I was Ukraines greatest assist, because of his incompetence 😂😂😂

That's how it started.

This russo-ukrainian war is pointless in the sense that even if Russia (contrary to the assumption) manages to hold the occupied territories, they still have not managed to win them. According to international law (UN Declarations) it is forbidden to annex other country's territories, so these areas will never be recognized as Russian territories except by Russia itself (and possibly North Korea). The only way for Russia is for the UN Declarations to be rewritten or for Ukraine to voluntarily give Russia these areas (none of this will happen). The territories will continue to be Ukrainian illegally annexed by Russia which will therefore always have sanctions and trade boycotts from the West (formerly Russia's best customers). There will also always be fighting in the areas so Russia will always need to have a lot of its military resources placed in these areas. It will be very expensive in the long run for Russia to illegally try to keep the territories, and the question is whether the Kremlin (and the Russian people) have both the will and the ability to pay this price.

❤Ukrainian ❤

Albert Speer was Germany’s armaments minister; he was nothing to do with the Economics Ministry.

The security council position that Shoigu has got is definitely a demotion.

HARRY HOMELESS IS BACK AT IT I SEE.

❤❤❤❤❤ 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Where is Gerry

OK NOW Ukraine is winning. This is it.

Our analysis is always wrong and I'm sure this is also very wrong

😂😂😂😂😂😂 okey dokey

He was promoted to the Security Council, not 'replaced '! 😂😂 journalism at its finest, or maybe more accurately propaganda.

So it's absolutely normal for other countries to replace their ministers and when it comes to Russia its cracks in the system 🤔 or its a times radio BS

Nightmare

Whatever you said in the past 2 years, none of it has come true. How can that be?

Same guy who predicted Russian economic collapse and military defeat 2 years ago...?? 😂😂😂. The sort of " security expert " loved by Times Radio and BBC...

More garbage from what must now be a contender for the ‘top wannabe world owner freak show propaganda outfit’ world champion!

😊😅

Typos lol me

One advantage Russia has in attacking Kharkiv is they are basing the attack within Russia proper. Ukraine cannot then use US supplied ordnance to attack the originating support bases. Doesn't seem fair to me. So why does the US help Russia in this atrocity?

Get Putin somehow

The move shows that Russia suffers severe financial burden due to extended war with Ukraine.

Does anyone else find predictive text annoying it buggers me up all the time

You wish.

Security Council of the Russian Federation : Chairman, President Vladimir Putin Deputy Chairman, Dmitry Medvedev Secretary, Sergei Shoigu * is a constitutional consultative body of the Russian president that supports the president's decision-making on national security affairs and matters of strategic interest. Composed of Russia's top state officials and heads of defence and security agencies and chaired by the president of Russia, the SCRF acts as a forum for coordinating and integrating national security policy.

Maria Avdeeva...really? The Times is now a complete joke!

It’s time you hired some new creative fiction writers. Retreading the same BS, over and over is BORING.

If times radio was a newspaper it would be more useful, and thicker than andrex

The contracts Shiogun awards will also be in the mix. If a not-so-good guy loses his contracts/money will they just let it happen.

AND HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW ALL THE SENSIBLE PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO SEE WHAT TIMES RADIO AND THEIR GUESTS ARE, I DONT KNOW ABOUT PUTIN BEING FINNISHED, BUT THE PROPAGAND TIMES RADIO WILL BE SOON😂😂😂

What claptrap

More smoke and mirrors for the sheeples

Did Putin ring in and tell you personally lol Wasn't Putin on the verge of defeat two years ago 🤡

The Times doesn't seem to have the same level of interest in the Kiev regime, even though billions of our tax money have gone there. It's not that long since Budanov's wife was poisoned and Zaluzhny's deputy was blown up with a birthday present. Shoigu has been promoted and the new defence secretary is an expert military economist, probably tasked with outproducing the entirety of NATO by an even larger factor tha the current three times.

I find this channel to be overly optimistic on the difficulties of Russia since the war started, unfortunately...

Times Radio or Daliy Sport Radio!

Stop spinning

Shogu has been promoted

Trash

He was the special operations minister

This is Trupm and his idiots fault.

No.....they can't replace Shiogu. He's one of the main reasons Ukrainians are able the stop the Russian onslaught.

Cracks are appearing. Wheels will fall off next

I love the propaganda and spin on this channel. Western "democratic" governments routinely conduct cabinet shuffles that's no issue. However, a routine cabinet shuffle in Russia is the end of their system of government! I love how they glossed over the fact that Shoigu has been appointed as the leader of security council and also how Zelensky has also shuffled his cabinet of got rid of key people. There's nothing to see here folks - only a slow a grinding war that's currently in Russia's favour.

What kinda Shovels and washing machines is Russia using?!!! We're told they ran out of ammunition years ago!

Shoigu's retiring, that is all. He wanted to retire before the invasion.

Prophecy, not by power nor by mighty but by my spirit says the Lord

So Russia is the only country that can not change ministers

Yawn....Putin's nearly done again is he? Goog good.

Shoigu's new role is deemed a promotion...nothing to see here!

If you actually want to talk about cracks in a regime. Why don't you talk about the Ukrainian government. Or wouldn't that suit your agenda.

Beggars dream

End of days for the Putin regime…

It’s the criminal syndicate that is currently our own government we need to worry about.

I love how this guy thinks he knows what Putin was and wasn’t told so arrogant

More nonsense propaganda

When Ukraine sack officials, the British hail it as good, but when Russia reshuffle her cabinet, Times Radio goes into a state of insanity.

Putin looks after his mates until they die.

So the same as the british government then

Maybe putin just hasn't seen Shoigu the 'Dancing Bear'. I'm sure he will reinstate him soon. Or he will become a scapegoat for Pooter's failing government.

The guy was promoted to the security council. Not the same as being "sacked" - is this how much of a stretch needs to be made in order to have some kind of "positive" news in the UK?

The Times, propaganda

This is laughable 😂😂😂

Crooks & Spooks. That's the ruling class in the UK.

lies lies and more lies

145 million people ruled by one man’s paranoia!

Here we go again. Spinning more irrelevant bullsh#t. The narrative we've been spun is failing big time. Keep it real!!!

I’m surpassed he wasnt replaced early Wagner being discarded is prolly the only reason he didn’t get bagged way back when

Cracks 😅😅 you wish

Cracks in nonsense UK propaganda

Poor Ukraine. They are exhausted. 🇺🇦💪🏻🇺🇦🙏🏼🇺🇦

Expats in dreaming.

NATO has 6 months. EU/financials same time frame. But waiting behind the "reset" is no new system only a "brown" age. This is why Russia must be vilified, because they will continue European civilization.

No russian is gonna say in 5 years "well it was worth it"
