According to information from Moscow, Mr. Mizinchev’s duties have already been transferred to General Alexei Kuzmenkov, the former deputy head of the National Guard. He is one of those responsible for the Russian intervention in favor of Bashar al-Assad in Syria.
Lack of ammunition
According to British intelligence, Russia does not have enough ammunition for a successful attack on Ukraine. The lack of ammunition causes internal disputes, especially between the Ministry of Defense and Wagner’s mercenary company.
“Russia continues to prioritize the mobilization of its defense industry, but is still unable to meet wartime needs. While Russian political leaders insist on success on the battlefield, Russian supply chain specialists are stuck.
