Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] The collector of criminal cases reports that two more criminal cases are being prepared against the former deputy defense minister of the Russian Federation, Timur Ivanov, in addition to the ones already established. The Investigative Committee of Russia is preparing to officially present former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov with two new charges as part of the criminal case brought against him in 2025.

This is reported by TASS with reference to law enforcement agencies. It is noted that the new charges against Ivanov are related to the testimony given by businessman Sergey Borodin, who concluded a pre-trial cooperation agreement. Earlier it was reported that investigators opened a new case against the ex-deputy head of the Ministry of Defense of Russia Pavel Popov.

What a versatile person. The number of cases continues to increase, as does the amount of damage caused to the state during the war.

PS. According to Popov. The Investigative Committee intends to bring new charges against the former Deputy Minister of Defense, General of the Army Pavlo Popov, for receiving bribes, writes "Kommersant".

According to the newspaper, the first episode is related to Popov's free living from 2014 to 2024 in an apartment on Frunzenskaya embankment near the Ministry of Defense building. This apartment was given to him by a representative of a contractor engaged in repairs in the department where Popov had an office.

Experts estimated the cost of renting similar housing in this area and came to the conclusion that the material benefit of the official amounted to about 14 million rubles. The second episode of the criminal case concerns the provision by the same contractor to Popov of a Lexus LX 570 SUV for trips.
That's a nice ride.
According to experts, if the general had rented this car on a general basis, his expenses would have been about 30 million rubles. Thus, it is precisely this sum that the investigation considers his illegal benefit. Popov himself did not deny the use of the apartment and the car, but he claimed that he did not do this on a regular basis.

According to h. 6 Art. 290 of the Criminal Code (taking bribes) threatens Popov with 8 to 15 years of imprisonment. As Kommersant writes, new episodes in Popov's case became known after the Investigative Committee sent to the prosecutor's office, and then to the court, materials concerning his accomplices — former director of Patriot Park Vyacheslav Akhmedov and ex-deputy head of the Main Department of Innovative Development of the Ministry of Defense, Major General Vladimir Shesterov.

PS. Shesterov recently received 6 years in prison. "Repression in the army" intensified.
