Speaking at St. Petersburg's Military Academy of Logistics on a trip which also included visits to Western Military District headquarters and the Russian Naval High Command, Shoygu said major structural reforms were planned for Russia's military academy system.
Lietenant-General Vladimir Ivanovski, head of the Military Academy of Logistics, stressed the need to streamline the training of over 8,000 soldiers across 229 sub-disciplines in accordance with the new objectives of the Defence Ministry.
