Recent days have brought crucial changes to the summits of Russian power. The appeal from the position of Minister of Defence of the Federation of Russian Sergei Szojgu and replacing him with Andrei Bielousov is simply a decision that should be analysed in detail. Why did Vladimir Putin decide on specified a replacement right now? Did Putin lose his trust in the Shojg? What circumstantial objectives can be set before the fresh head of the Russian defence? Dr. Michał Patryk Sadłowski, University of Warsaw, president of the Foundation Institute of east Law named after Gabriel Szerszewewicz, spoke about all this in an interview with Defence24.pl.
