The Russian defence ministry’s human resources chief has been arrested and accused of bribery in an apparent purge on allies of former minister Sergei Shoigu.
Lt Gen Yuri Kuznetsov was charged with accepting a particularly large bribe late on Monday evening, Russian Telegram channels reported.
It came hours after Vladimir Putin dismissed Mr Shoigu as minister of defence, in his most significant reshuffle since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began.
Three weeks earlier, Timur Ivanov, one of Mr Shoigu’s deputies, was arrested and charged with the same crime. . . .
