Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a major announcement at a Defense Ministry meeting next week, according to Russian state media.
"We are waiting for important statements," Pavel Sarubin, host of the programme "Moscow.Kremlin.Putin," told state broadcaster WGTRK on Sunday.
According to the programme, Putin will chair an annual expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry. An exact date for the meeting is not yet known.
However, Putin is expected in Minsk on Monday for talks with Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko.
At a government meeting last week, Putin leader had already demanded that armament plans be adjusted.
It is considered possible that he will continue to push the conversion of his own economy to a war economy, as his own troops continue to have problems with supplies in the course of the war on Ukraine.
Because of the continuing difficulties in the war, Putin has largely avoided the subject in recent weeks and has also cancelled his traditional annual press conference shortly before Christmas.

This is necessary because this is a CLOUD-BASED web site. The way it works is YOU READ . . . I GET BILLED for "Data Transfer."
Despite being politely asked for voluntary donations, few people ever bothered to donate. Then, despite being asked to click an ad within a story to generate ad revenue for this site, the majority of the general public couldn't be bothered with that, either. So there's no reason to give the general public free news anymore; they don't pull their own weight.
With tens-of-thousands of people reading stories here every day, the costs nearly drove the site out of business.
In order to be able to continue providing cutting-edge news, often hours or even DAYS before Drudge and most of the "mass-media" -- if they even cover it at all -- I need to be able to sustain this effort. To do that, I rely on folks like YOU contributing a pittance of about $1 a week; which is chump-change that you won't even miss! Yet that small amount makes all the difference in the world to the continued existence of this web site.
In the final analysis, knowledge is power. Getting information first, or info that other sources simply don't report, is usually well worth a few bucks in the long run.
