Last week, the former Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, Dmitry Bulgakov, was ordered to be held in pretrial detention on corruption charges. According to the Washington Post, Bulgakov is accused of embezzlement by supplying low-quality ration packs to Russian soldiers in Ukraine at vastly inflated prices.  He was the deputy defense minister from 2008 to 2022 but was demoted because he was seen to have created a flawed logistical system for Russian troops on the front line. This is not the first time a high-ranking Russian military official has been arrested on corruption charges.  According to a report in The Guardian, Russian policy observers believe this new Anti-Corruption policy aims to streamline the production of weapons and tanks. As for Bulgakov, I would guess he probably won’t see the light of day for a very long time, if ever.
