Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has arrested former Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov on corruption charges, marking a significant crackdown on military corruption under new Defense Minister Andrei Belousov. Bulgakov, who was dismissed in September 2022, was responsible for military logistics and has been placed in pre-trial detention as investigations continue. His arrest is part of a broader initiative that began in April, which has seen several high-ranking military officials detained, including Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov for bribery. Additionally, Andrei Belkov, head of the Defense Ministry's construction division, has also been detained on suspicion of abuse of power related to overpriced procurement. This wave of arrests follows public criticism of the military's performance in Ukraine, leading to accountability measures within the defense sector. The Kremlin has indicated that similar investigations are ongoing in other state agencies.
