Vladimir Putin 'under real pressure' as Ukraine war hits new edge | LBC analysis

What could Russia's latest cabinet reshuffle and renewed offensive action in Ukraine mean?

Russia's defence minister and long-time Putin ally, Sergei Shoigu, is set to be replaced, the Kremlin has confirmed amid the latest cabinet reshuffle.

Papers published by the upper chamber confirmed that Shoigu, who has served in the role since 2012, according to a the Kremlin website.

It comes more than two years after Russia began its 'special military operation' in Ukraine - and days after Putin was sworn in for another six-year term as Russia's president.

Putin has proposed he be replaced by Russia's former deputy prime minister, Andrei Belousov.

Andrew Marr is joined by American businessman and analyst Bill Browder to reflect on this, as well as Ukrainian MP Mariia Mezentseva to discuss what the delay in support from America means for the nation as Russia launch a renewed offensive.
