Western intelligence and the media have repeatedly reported that the minister of defense of the aggressor country, Sergei Shoigu, could be replaced due to prolonged Russian failures at the front. Today, Russian publications reported the name of the proposed replacement of the minister .
Details
Reportedly, we are talking about a certain Alexei Dumin, who heads the Tula region. This is reported by the publication “Layout” with reference to some sources “close to the leadership of the country.”
It is reported that allegedly among the lobbyists of this appointment are Ramzan Kadyrov and Evgeny Prigozhin. Kadyrov allegedly calls Dumin “big brother” and it is he who would like to see him at the head of the Ministry of Defense.
Dumin received the title of Hero of Russia for his participation in the war with Ukraine in 2014. According to RosSMI, his exact mission is unknown — there is a version that it was he who evacuated President Viktor Yanukovych. In 2014, his career went up sharply, and soon he became deputy minister of defense.

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), growing internal criticism of “partial mobilization” in Russia is likely to lead Russian President Vladimir Putin to blame Russia’s defense ministry and, in particular, Russia’s defense minister Shoigu for the failures.
In particular, the ISW mentioned that in particular, the chairman of the Russian State Duma’s committee on defense, retired Colonel-General Andrei Kartapolov, came out with criticism of the Russian Defense Ministry – “another blow to the shoigu”.
“One Russian milblogger said that Kartapolov’s comments demonstrate that shoigu will soon be “demolished” and “recognized as the main culprit” of Russia’s military failures,” the Institute said.
