Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov defined this resolution via the truth that the financial system of the facility bloc will have to be built-in into the financial system of the rustic. In keeping with him, below the management of a civilian respectable, the Ministry of Protection will have to grow to be open to innovation and the creation of “complex concepts”.
Russian “army correspondents” and Z-channels reacted cautiously: maximum of them attempted to search out some great benefits of appointing an unknown candidate from the industrial sphere, whilst Shoigu, who headed the ministry for the previous 12 years and was once transferred to the publish of Secretary of the Safety Council, rarely discussed. The unbiased website online “Meduza” has amassed the principle reactions of the pro-war channels and bloggers, which we post with abbreviations.
Yuri Kotenok, “warfare correspondent”, writes:
“Belousov will behavior an audit of all the monetary and financial block of the Ministry of Protection. He understands this greater than anything else. A qualified economist of the perfect stage. A statesman. Belousov is a nominal determine within the army hierarchy. The function of V. Gerasimov, leader of the Basic Personnel of the Russian Armed Forces. However the device shall be balanced via new deputies of the Minister of Protection. After which the whole lot shall be transparent.”
Fighterbomber (Telegram channel with regards to the Russian defense force):
“The ideally suited chief proposes to nominate Belousov to the publish of Minister of Protection of Russia. I’ve just one query. Who is that this?”
Mikhail ZvinchukTelegram channel Ribar:
“In follow, the appointment of Belousov as Minister of Protection manner the start of a large-scale overhaul and restructuring of all monetary fashions within the Division of Protection…. Within the prerequisites of very restricted time, Belousov will indisputably desire no longer slide experiences, however two excel tables on 1 sheet of paper with two financial choices. And he’ll come to a decision in keeping with this desk as a result of he is aware of the best way to depend. Belousov is an individual who has at all times had his personal perspective on many stuff, albeit an unpopular one. That is almost certainly precisely what the Russian protection division wishes these days.”
Kiril Fedorov, pro-war blogger:
“Andrei Belousov’s activity isn’t to battle or do one thing within the rear, however to safe victory economically. Economics is what wins warfare. Now he has a credit score of accept as true with and a possibility to justify that credit score. There is a chance to rationalize spending within the Ministry of Defence. Perhaps an individual who is aware of the best way to depend can do it higher than prior to. Possibly the former boss was once extra appropriate for peacetime, the place it was once vital to fantastically behavior parades, the place it was once vital to exhibit the restricted however gorgeous contingent in Syria. And now most likely we’d like a person who can lead us to that very home general warfare, in order that the whole lot is for the entrance and for victory.”
army informant, pro-war telegram channel:
“Within the prerequisites of a distinct operation, which has lengthy since was a protracted warfare of attrition, the appointment of an individual from the financial system has an immediate sensible which means. A military “double” in this type of place, who has no longer noticed anything else in lifestyles out of doors the barracks and the educational flooring, has no to lend a hand the victory, relatively to the contrary. Now we will be able to simplest want good fortune to the brand new protection minister and make a want the present vicious device to be a minimum of in part modified and modernized in line with present demanding situations.
Brushing aside Sergei Shoigu from the publish of Minister of Protection, which he held with out interruption for the previous 11 and a part years, we wish to say many stuff, however shall we embrace the principle factor – Shoigu failed his maximum necessary lifestyles check – the particular operation in Ukraine.”
Dmitry Seleznevpro-war telegram channel “Two Majors”:
“In 2023, Belousov proposed giant trade to make a “voluntary contribution” from their income. Certainly, what positive factors can also be made in warfare?
This is, judging via those statements, Belousov is in choose of justice, which can not lend a hand however make an affect on us. And judging via his lengthy keep within the perfect political circles, within the box of financial system he carried out regulate purposes with the sanction of the president himself. The brand new appointment of a presidential confidant from some other construction will damage the ossified device of corrupt ties within the Ministry of Protection, which, judging via the hot arrest of Deputy Minister Ivanov, is provide. And it’s glaring that this type of reorganization is geared toward strengthening the industrial element of the army bloc.”
Sergei Kolyasnikovpro-war blogger, telegram channel Zergulio
“Now not everybody understands that the publish of Minister of Protection is extra about politics and economics. That is in point of fact true. For this reason the robust economist and statesman Andrey Removich Belousov will have compatibility in completely right here. Let’s put it bluntly: the appointment is a shot. In a warring nation greater than 50,000 officials are nonetheless disadvantaged of housing, the queue has no longer been closed since 2016, and everywhere Russia, in vast towns, complete residential spaces for the army are rotting. And within the Ministry of Protection, no longer simplest Timur Ivanov confirmed off, there there are extra attention-grabbing and demanding personalities. In a nasty method. ..I will be able to simplest want him good fortune, as a result of now he’ll get started rowing such Augian stables that even Hercules would cry.”
