Lee Seung-jae has more.
More than two years into the war in Ukraine, and with his fifth term in office just beginning, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Sunday that he's replacing his defense and security chiefs.
The Russian president said that defense minister Sergei Shoigu, who has led the Russian armed forces since 2012, will be replaced by Andrei Belousov.
Belousov is an economist with no military experience, signaling that Putin is looking to change things up in the prolonged war.
Shoigu however,.. was appointed as the secretary of Moscow's Security Council, a consultative body that advises the Russian leader on military and strategic issues.
On the other hand, Nikolai Patrushev was dismissed as Putin's intelligence chief, despite being widely considered as one of Putin's closest confidants.
Kremlin spokesperson Dimitry Peskov did not elaborate on the former intelligence chief's future, only saying that details will be announced in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Russia continued its offensives in Kharkiv for the third day on Sunday, capturing four villages in the region on top of the five taken by the Russian military the day before,.. with Ukraine struggling to defend against the recent Russian onslaught.
The governor of Kharkiv says thousands of people have been evacuated from the northern region bordering Russia.
Watchers say the latest barrage of attacks may be part of Russia's planned spring offensives.
