Amid a cabinet reshuffle by President Putin, a senior Defense Ministry official, Lt. Gen. Yury Kuznetsov, was arrested on bribery charges, highlighting a crackdown on corruption within Russia's military. Kuznetsov faces severe charges, with authorities uncovering a significant sum of cash and luxury items. Putin's replacement of Sergei Shoigu as defence minister and the nomination of Andrei Belousov signal potential further purges within the ministry. Shoigu's deputy's recent arrest has raised speculation about Shoigu's future, amidst scrutiny over Russia's military strategy in Ukraine, where Ukrainian resistance has proven formidable, causing setbacks for Russian forces. The implications of these internal power shifts remain uncertain as Russia navigates the ongoing conflict.

Rishi Sunak has reassured the public following a major data breach at the Ministry of Defence, which impacted a third-party payroll system. "I do want to reassure people the Ministry of Defence has already taken action, removing the network and taking it offline and making sure the people affected are supported in the right way," he said. He refused to be drawn on claims China is behind the data breach, but confirmed defence secretary Grant Shapps will address MPs in the House of Commons later today.

In a recent address to reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov referred to the United States as an “enemy,” signalling a potential hardening of Moscow's rhetoric. While it remains uncertain if this language reflects an official change in policy, Peskov emphasised that only President Vladimir Putin can make such determinations. The Kremlin spokesman's comments were partly in response to Washington's refusal to allow former US Marine, UN weapons inspector, and RT contributor Scott Ritter to travel to St. Petersburg. Peskov described this as “the latest manifestation of the rabid campaign to prevent US citizens from interacting with the Russian Federation.” He suggested that such a refusal would only be “understandable” if it were related to Ritter's former intelligence status. “We are now an enemy country for them – much like they are for us” Peskov stated, noting that travel restrictions on former intelligence officers to hostile countries are common worldwide.

Ukrainian soldiers have expressed frustration with the inadequacy of US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks against Russian forces and drones. The 47th Mechanized Brigade, the only unit operating Abrams, cited insufficient armor, vulnerability to drones, and electronic issues. Despite field modifications, the tanks are seen as outdated, with Russia claiming eight kills and towing one as a trophy to Moscow. Experts describe the Abrams as a relic unable to withstand modern warfare.
