Russian defence minister visits troops after Wagner mutiny

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu has visited Russian troops in Ukraine, the RIA Novosti news agency reports, his first public appearance since the weekend mutiny by the Wagner Group.
The leader of the Wagner Group - whose mercenaries have fought side by side with the Russian military - led a rebellion on Saturday.
Wagner's chief has blamed Sergei Shoigu for his fighters' deaths.
He also accused him of incompetence and corruption.
After taking control of Russia's southern command post in Rostov-on-Don, Yevgeny Prigozhin demanded Shoigu be handed over to him, to quote 'restore justice'.

Journalist Yulia Shapovalova joins us live from Moscow to discuss the latest updates.

According to reports, Putin has been seen running a hotdog stand near Vladivostok Railway Station.

Wagner boss Priguzhin is eagerly awaiting his final payment, in Belarus, but this time, they'll be compensating him in norvichok currency—a toxic twist on his financial aspirations!😊

Continuing with the job at hand despite all of the distractions.

[SourVodka]

Sorry Aljazeera where is the footage of Shoigu visiting Russian troops in Ukraine ?

[luisrodrigues]

Can you imagine such a fake???
Instead of Putin, they show Shoigu...in a old video...the next one will be Stalin's meeting with Churchill 😂

Putin ran away when Moscow was threatened so did his defence secretary.

Zelenskyy - 'I need ammo not a ride, the fight is here'
Putin - 'private jet goes

Allegedly visiting the front lines? Media is truly ridiculously evil. I pity reporters.

[hokavistark]

Shoigu is not capable to hold that post

[xphiqrf]

from Russia. The guys on the front line should know that we are united, that our commander-in-chief is Putin🤓

[sansnom]

When the coup general is also corrupt 😂

[djsnaz]

Minister of defence mr Bigfoot came out of the woods now.:)))

[colonial]

The trolls have been quieter now their boss is a traitor, and payroll isn't being processed for the St. Petersburg troll farms.

[GreyManTheory]

😂 I thought the media said shoigu was in hiding 😂😂😂😂

[jamessmithers]

Has Putin brilliantly hit 3 birds with one stone? Prigozhin banished for now to Minsk, while afterba period for face saving Shoigu and Gerassimov will be on their way out. If this what it is it is brlliantissimo. Even Machiavelli would be left speechless by this supreme master class in the art of politics.

[Boatperson]

THATS OLD FILM FOOTAGE!!! You guys should know better than to show old stuff!!

[stephenlaw]

Of course russia wheeled out film of this guy. They think the whole world is stupid enough to believe the spin 😂

[CyberBeep_kenshi]

My guess piggy will either assist luka on defeating a posaible coup, or replace him.... they could try to invade from the north, but that would be ill

Going 'to exile' to belarus is silly. So either he will end up dead with a tea or window accident, or it was indeed a hoax

[luckyefosa]

Would you hold a meeting with an enemy that wants your downfall badly?

[diDaN]

Visiting Russian forces? I highly doubt after of what just happened. He's totally a loser
