"Putin's Military Purge Intensifies with High-Profile Arrests"
TL;DR Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin has initiated a significant purge within the military, arresting several high-ranking officials on corruption charges. This move follows the public criticism and failed mutiny led by Wagner Group's Yevgeny Prigozhin, who had accused military leaders of incompetence and corruption. The recent reshuffle, including the replacement of long-time Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, aims to boost efficiency and tackle corruption within the Russian military.
