Defense Ministry Announces Military Reform

The Russian Defense Ministry has announced plans to make significant changes to the armed forces over the next three years, reports Reuters.

On Tuesday, the ministry said that it would implement administrative reforms from 2023 to 2026 to strengthen the naval, aerospace and strategic missile forces.

The changes are necessary to guarantee the military security of the state and protect critical facilities of the Russian Federation, the ministry said.

The defense ministry has faced domestic criticism for the failures of Moscow's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
