me and now quite a major shake up in the Russian military leadership anyone would say but do we know why Mr shyo was being replaced yes of course it’s a it’s indeed a big change especially because we are in the middle of the biggest war that Russia is involved from the second world war so change the Minister of Defense right now for an economist is a a huge St that no one expected not me for sure uh and tell us a lot of about the state of the situation in Russia there are something changes there are some changes coming and we we expect to have big changes coming the next two three months especially now in summer when when a big Russian operation is to be expected in Ukraine president puting decide that the ministry of Defense should actually be headed by a civilian what why does he think a civilian would even do a better a job well uh this person the new minister of the of defense will be an economist so in his case we can expect that there will be kind some kind of economy of War put in place so we we expect maybe we we will have not a official declaration of war against Ukraine but we can we can see the first step for economy of War so a big change to put all the the the and all the capacity of the states working for the for the war and to produce all the necessary that Russia needs to to fight this war but when we think of the war that started from 2022 to this moment I mean Shu has been a major factor to the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine he’s being The Mastermind of many Russian attacks in Ukraine why is he changing him now ah it’s impossible to be in the in the head of vad Putin but we can understand that Russia Putin want to have some changes and he don’t trust anymore so could to be the to be the leader of these changes we must remember always that this war must in the the original idea was a war of two three weeks maximum and we are now here in the three the third year of this war so of course toy goof have not complained the the the Target that that that he have in the beginning of the war so putting decide that he need a new new blood new new leader for this all right so let’s talk about this new leader that’s sho’s replacement Andre bosov he also an economist but does this mean a strategic move for the Russian economy or would his appointment just curb defense spending in some way Bel is a technocratic profile as the F Minister that that Russia have now so it means that Putin want to have the the accounts in order want to put make the the money issues the priority to focus all the money in the production of weaponary and to buy also weapons from India and North Korea so he want to put this in the focus so lead uh the ministry by an economist that can do this work properly as so who uh didn’t do we we can remember that the fight between pin and so come two years ago because soyu could not provide the weapon the weapons that the bner mercenaries asking for but Ricardo when we talk about reshuffle it’s something that doesn’t happen often in Russia how are people reacting to this new development so yesterday uh the all the chats telegram have contacted us the the Russian Facebook on all the channels that they are dedicated to the war was in shock a lot of people celebrate people that W uh so pro pro war Russians that they are in favor of the war celebrated these changes hoping that now Russia will uh finally put more money in the table to to buy Weaponry a lot of people that are you know supporting of the Dead leader of Warner Mr prosen I also celebrating because so was the Enemy Number One of Mr but anyway all of them for all of them was the the same fact we we been all shock for this Chang all right but before I let you go let’s talk about the situation in belr a provincial center near the Ukrainian border which is of course continually subjected to deadly missile and drone attacks and what have you which Russia is already blaming on Ukraine have you heard any comments from Kiev not officially not not at least I didn’t I was monitoring the situation the last hours I didn’t read nothing about K but of course we have a lot of rumors the Ukrainian side don’t want to be blamed for the death of civilians as well as Russian never want to be blamed when in the dozens or hundreds of bombing of Civilian houses of course ukrainians will deny an implication of this and Russia will blame ukrainians for for this awful attack in civilians at the same that happened always in the same in in the other side all time that one bomb destroy a civilian house in Ukraine Russia say that that they are the same ukrainians bomb so it’s a propaganda war and we cannot trust for sure not the the part that involved in in this war all right Ricardo M va’s Russian reporter thank you
