Following the arrest of a Russian deputy defense minister last month, a series of detentions of senior military officials on corruption charges has unfolded. These arrests coincided with President Vladimir Putin s fifth term and a reshuffle of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The detentions have sparked speculation about Putin s control over the Defense Ministry, potential turf battles, or other internal power plays. Corruption has long been entrenched in Russia s system, but the recent crackdown, especially amid the war in Ukraine, suggests a significant shift in handling graft within the defense sector.
