Russian media: Russian deputy defense minister detained for bribery stripped of his position, assets

kyivindependent.com/russian-media-russian-deputy-defense-minister-ivanov-accused-of-bribery-stripped-of-his-position-assets/

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

Quick Glance: UK Boosts Defense Spending, Provides $620 Million Military Aid to Ukraine

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced an increase in defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade, along with a pledge to provide Ukraine with new military aid totaling $620 million, including weapons, armored vehicles, and ammunition.

Sunak described the heightened spending as the most significant strengthening of national defense in a generation, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant in the face of current geopolitical threats.

The UK commits to an additional £75 billion in defense spending over the next six years, aiming to raise defense expenditure to 2.5% of GDP, reaffirming a target set by Boris Johnson in 2022.

The announcement followed similar moves by the US, approving $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, signaling an escalated international response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
