Russia announced on Tuesday that it will make “significant reforms” to its armed forces from 2023 to 2026, aiming to shake up its military organization after months of failures in Ukraine.

In addition to administrative improvements, the Defence Ministry stated that its naval, aeronautical, and strategic missile units will be strengthened.

“Only by strengthening the core structural components of the Armed Forces will it be feasible to ensure the military security of the state and protect new entities and essential facilities of the Russian Federation,” stated Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesperson, said the adjustments were necessitated by the West’s “proxy war” in Ukraine.

The defense ministry, which has faced harsh domestic criticism for the ineffectiveness of its attempt to seize huge swaths of Ukraine, pledged in December to increase its military manpower to 1.5 million.

It has changed its leadership several times in the 11 months of what it calls a “special military operation,” during which its forces first took significant regions of southern and eastern Ukraine but have since suffered a series of severe defeats and retreats.

Shoigu selected Army General Valery Gerasimov, the chairman of the military general staff, to lead the Ukraine campaign last week.

The Defense Ministry announced on Friday that it had taken control of Soledar, a small salt-mining town in Ukraine’s Donetsk area that had been the target of a Russian offensive for weeks.
