A series of high-profile arrests has shaken the Russian Defence Ministry.
In the past month, the Defence Minister has been replaced and several high-ranking military personnel have been detained or dismissed.
It’s believed the crackdown on corruption and mismanagement is a fallout of President Vladimir Putin's frustration with the war effort in Ukraine.
