Former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Arrested on Corruption Charges

Dmitry Bulgakov's detention is part of a broader crackdown on military corruption amid ongoing war efforts.

Bulgakov served as deputy defense minister from 2008 to September 2022, overseeing logistics.
His arrest follows multiple high-profile detentions of top military officials on similar charges.
The recent purge is seen as an effort to address corruption and enhance military efficiency.
Bulgakov's dismissal was linked to logistical failures in Ukraine, impacting Russian operations.
The FSB's growing influence is evident in the ongoing arrests and investigations.
