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, Declaration of war on ukraine was just a joke and putin doesn’t understands why everyone taking it so seriously
Which nuclear incident? Stop misinformation.
There maybe 4 big reasons for the so called scripted rebellion: 1. A saving face for Putin his excuse to the Russian public and to the world why he lose the war because of the pulling out of many troops from Ukraine to fight for the troops of Prigozhin. 2. His loosened in decision by letting Lukashenco mayhave a deep plan to eventually disband the wagner and make Prigozhin pay later on the embarrassment. 3. There maybe a plan that part of Wagner troops maybe brought in Belarus to be under the direct command of Prigozhin and open a new war frontier from Belarus as a new launching pad to attack Kyiev in the near future. 4. It maybe another plan for Putin to conduct a massive purge on his military establishments to reinvigorate Putin’s war at the ecpense of shoigu and his gangs.
Go home fys
Prigozhin is a real idiot, if he thinks, he can demand something from Putin and definitely after such mutiny. He will be most likely liquidated in Belarus.
The New Voice – Ukrainian officer describes combat in Avdiivka,: Serhan: Everything depends on the supply of weapons, ammunition, and high-quality military personnel. This is a big problem for us now, no matter what anyone says. Unfortunately, now, the only ones fighting are those who were called up. The volunteers came in the first period of the war, in 2022. We all remember how military registration and enlistment offices were overflowing. Now we don’t have that big push from volunteers, so now they are gathering everyone they find.
This is a problem because the state needs to work on how it motivates people to join up, perhaps with some kind of social package, so that people see the benefits and want to fight. This is important to ensure they are confident in their commanders and that the state will protect them.
Serhan: Everyone is tired of the war, and the volunteers became tired first because they came to the enlistment offices voluntarily and signed up. How long have we been fighting this big invasion? It’s been 16 months without days off, without leave. They’ve had a maximum of 10 days, and perhaps some have gotten lucky with their rotations. But how do rotations work? When almost 70% of personnel have been knocked out with 30% remaining, only then does rotation take place. When we are taken out, it means we’ve gotten, excuse me for saying this, f*cked up, and we are being taken out of dug-in positions.
Now units are undermanned with those who do not want to fight – there is no other way to describe it. And again they are thrown into positions at the hottest point, where there are no trenches, or with unprepared positions, or something else.
No, it won’t work, guys. The army needs to be made up of professionals. What is a professional? It’s someone who, with his head held high, walks around Kyiv in uniform and is not ashamed to look people in the eye. He is well-fed and fit because he needs to carry from 30 to 60 kilograms on himself, and with this weight, he still has to run 10 kilometers or however many, while carrying a rifle and under heavy fire. He deserves a decent salary. And now we have a salary of $400-500, roughly. We need to fix this; we need to somehow get the state involved and make it work.
This sounds like orc nonsense to me, Ukrainians are very keen to throw the war criminals out of their lands.
This is part of a much bigger article, you are placing this without context, Only pasting the parts that confirm your bias. That is weak.
Krembots with their “squirrel! Over there” misdirection 😂
what happens to the Wagner army…has he just abandoned them to go hide in Belarus with a tonne of money?
DON’T FORGET Gen. Yevgeny PRIGOZHINI IS NOW 100km from KIEV 🇷🇺🏁🔥 he may COMMAND his BOYS to March into KIEV after Saturday’s Attempt to March into Moscow, he was nearing 200Km from MOSCOW❗❌🇷🇺🔥 PRIGOZHINI FUTURE is bright, he is now sent to Belarus for NEW MOBILIZATION there & neighborhoods , ANYTIME HE’S COMING TO KIEV wait for him🇷🇺🏁🔥🔥💀💀 another special MILITARY operation assignment for PMC Wagner,❗ RUSSIA MILITARY HURRAH!

The Wagner criminals are still in their scouting camp in Ukraine, you fool!
MOD look like a joke now…….
VICTORY FOR RUSSIA 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪☪️💪💪 🌹
First you have make Shoigu and Gerasimov cold! 😉
Z
@protagonist Z is for Zombie !
They’re fighting Russia so victory for who? Russia or Russia?
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!😊

Go back to Russia
Putin brings disorder, lawlessness and violence to Russian streets nothing more. He is pitiful and weak, and won’t be able to recover from the reputational damage of this. Russians need to consider a younger, stronger, more masculine leader for their next President.
from Russia. The guys on the front line should know that we are united, that our commander-in-chief is Putin🤓
😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️
LOL hey how is your mighty Black Sea Flagship that pos the moscova? Oh just like your pathetic army it is DESTROYED and sunk!
Bunker Poopin ?
😂
Here is a Russian poem
(translated)
Did he fall or was he hushed?
Did he fall or was he pushed?
Did he fall or was he crushed?
Did he fall or was he mushed?
Perhaps he just drank the tea.
‘Death’ by Putin
Sergei vs Prigozhin in a UFC match!
President Putin is a very reasonable person.
Anyone than him will be very hardline and Ukraine will be flattened ‘shock and awe’ style.
If I was Ukrainian I know who I would want as Russian President.
😂 move to pootin’s utopia, simp
@protagonist A nuclear state can not use such devices on an NPT signatory. Claiming Putin is somehow reasonable for not using a nuke is so disingenuous.
@J Blake
Yes they can. The fact that he hasn’t and u don’t give credit is disingenuous
@protagonist No they can’t; there isn’t a single occasion to reference your stupid claim.
Do you pass napkins on your circlewank sessions? Would be very reasonable
Def Min Shoigu, Has My Full Support😊😊
Thank You,Prigozhin Was Getting Too Big For His Boots
Emotional, financial or se*ual?
😂😂😂😂
LOL Hilarious thank you clowns!
Yes keep him there so he can keep failing
Shoigu is a Ukrainian asset. 👍
Please хуйло́ Shoigu, don’t fall out a building.

The trolls have been quieter now their boss is a traitor, and payroll isn’t being processed for the St. Petersburg troll farms.
Al Jazeera is fake news. Funded by the West.
Viva Russia, Love From India 🕊️
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! lol thanks
Viva Russia from Indonesia
The corruption in the RUSSIAN ARMY will plague there efforts for global supremacy !!
Propoganda, the west loves this, and totally runs with it. Dont you think this was a play from Putin to distract the easily manipulated west media
Al Jazeera after 100 years: Wagner coup making advances and will topple Putin soon, also Bashar Assad will be toppled soon by opposition 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That loud mouth has been vaporized
CLOWNS LOL
Shoigu video is very carefully staged
It’s offence minister. Minister of terrorism. Minister of invasion. Minister of mass murderers.
Visiting Russian forces? I highly doubt after of what just happened. He’s totally a loser
Russia knows US is spying on them. The drama will move strong Russian fighters to Kyviv’s north with little monitoring by US spy infrastructures. Good move by Putin
Russia has “strong” fighters?
@Wubby805 lol…..battle tested fighters
What a circus 🎪 😂
Wagner? The mercenary group bought by catholic association from Unghary bank accounts, to destroy ukraina real estate and to speculate by 950 billion of investment in June 2022, that caused many sent of weapones to Ukraine against ukrainians!
Also Matteo Zuppi, the criminal of the war in Mozambique, have partecipated from CEI real estate speculation! In Italy those methods are called MAFIA contracts at gunpoint!
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 😂
Minister of defence mr Bigfoot came out of the woods now.:)))
Victory to Russia! Mincemeat of Ukraine
@Eric Connorunderrated
At least you are honest about supporting genocide.
@J Blake
What your NATO has been doing for decades and your kind was silent. Now Russia is going to Bakhmut all of Eastern Ukraine and nothing u can do about it.
@J Blake💯
No.
Russia will eventually destroy Ukraine and then Zionist Israel
Russians are just so foolish! Why would such a crackhead of man be cheering up after all what he wanted to do to the Country. Do they even understand the gravity of Prigozhin’s dangerous action? If that was in the US or European Countries, you think he would be applauded? No! Instead by now he would be facing death penalty and people calling for his head.
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 vrooooom’
Yeah it was funny seeing Zelyonskiy make a video from the sewer wheres he’s hiding. Poor rat was so excited over nothing.
@Thomas Augustus It’s called projection. Your leader hides in his bunker behind his big table, so you expect everybody else to behave the same way.
@Eric Connor In your case it’s called gulping special syrup coming you know from where.
@Eric Connor
And your Europe faces stagnation and recession while pumping more money into Ukraine so it keeps turning into bakhmut the heaven. The true bunker is where Europe is living, negative gdp, deep rear end inside
@Thomas Augustus Get to the front Ivan
Putin is a cardboard bear. 😄
Shoigu is not capable to hold that post
At least Prigozhin could tell the truth. Could admit Russia was taking heavy losses. Russia made up the justification for the war, and Ukraine is systematically taking back territory.
Big make- believe game being played in Russia to get Ukrainian confused for the next move of russian. Ukraine needs to prepare and be ready.
Continuing with the job at hand despite all of the distractions.
sure lol it more to do with he now feels safe to travel there now that Prigozhin not close by
This so called mutiny is a precarious case for study. Wagner was to joyful. Mabe they now there next job in Belarus 😂😂
What a failure😂😂Good for nothing😂😂
What mutiny?
Stand with Russia 🇷🇺. Love from India 🇮🇳
Stand with Russia 🇷🇺 love from Mars 👽
We Martians love Putin very much, im definitely not a Russian troll faking international and intergalactic support for the coward Putin
Stand for killing innocent people who didn’t ask for war. Maybe India needs an 1:19 invasion and people slaughtered for no reason and maybe you will think differently. We should neve be supporting any one involved in this.
@Mick Shagger
@ericconnor8419
Then enjoy your Europe which faces stagnation and recession while pumping more money into Ukraine so it keeps turning into bakhmut the heaven. The true bunker is where Europe is living, negative gdp, deep rear end inside
@RD0403 why u feels jealous, Biracial children
@Mandhir Brar jealous of what? My country has figured out toilets. Unlike India
Prigozhin is a traitor to the Russian people. No country would welcome a traitor. All eyes should be on the completion of the Ukraine war.
Of course russia wheeled out film of this guy. They think the whole world is stupid enough to believe the spin 😂
When corrupted people drive a nation…
You talking about America the most corrupt nation on the planet. A country that came about by theft don’t believe me ask the native Americans or the Mexicans 😂
Putin the 🤡 had the whole world laughing at him
But nobody laughed harder than
-Biden
-Prigozhin
-Lukashenka
-Zelenskyy
-Navalny
-Hillary
🤣🤣🤣
Is like the west are wasting their time and energy by telling lies and making Russia to look bad but Russia is the United country in the whole world and Putin is there commander in chief and they love him so get out you liars you have failed 😁😁😁
The fake Marshall… this is not recent footage. What does someone who never served in the army with all those recognitions on his uniform?
YOU GUYS GOT it wrong…….its a scam coup……Wagner is now moving to belarus 25000 strong and gonna attack Kyiv again….. this time w battel hardened troops….. This is a stall tactic and u guys r getting distracted
THEY ARE MOVING WAGNER TO BELARUS TO ATTACK KYIV AGAIN !!!!! GUYS PLS WAKE UP !!! IT WAS A HEADFAKE !!!! Like PLS tell the Ukranians this…..they are movign 25,000 battle hardened wagner troops to the nroth to attack kyiv again………. the south is barracaded and distracting the ukranians.
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 not only brlliantissimo but the highest political art
Only need to get rid of it’s mirror next !
A coup ended in 1 day woth almost every politician and military personnel backing putin and putin having greater than 80% popularity rating. Can we get some real perspective and analysis rather than propaganda?
Thanks for reporting with new hair style
THATS OLD FILM FOOTAGE!!! You guys should know better than to show old stuff!!
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.
Silly comment
@James McCracken
Enjoy your recession while Russia turns all of Ukraine into bakhmut.
Looks like Russia government is corrupted and run by Klan!
For honest, up to date film footage you can’t go past the Polish news sites. I’m shocked these guys have been fooled by old footage – shameful!!! I am now unsubscribing…..
Nato celebration was very short 🙂
An opportunity for Nato to praise Wagner after the embarrassment in Bakhmut 😂
Bunker Poopin still doing it’s business ? Brainwashing unsuspecting heads.
Ran like a scared dog putin has is shown to be weak to be honest i laughed when he fled Moscow now he has disappeared shows how really weak little putin is
Would you hold a meeting with an enemy that wants your downfall badly?
I see Prigozhin and Zelenski on the front line. I don’t see Shoigu. These images are BS propaganda.
Commotion among vatniks ?
Prigozhin is loved by the people putin is not kinda easy to see mights as well go party in newly formed the mud hole
in putins back
fake media
lol shoigu trying save face.
Idiots! He will never go to Belarus. He’s going west 😆
Prigozhin will be dead in 48 hours or it was a fake coup to weed out Russian “insurgents”.
This is Putin the terrible’s reaction to the uprising. “Things will remain status quo!” Prigozhyn will be physically tortured long and hard before they kill him. Did he honestly expect the largest liar on the gobe to honor their agreement??? Laughabe.
What is developing in your opinion?
Could you please explain? Are you suggesting that the Russian defense ministry should be reshuffled? And is there something you know that we don’t know?
Also, the Russian government doesn’t have to abide to the accusations from Prigozhin. Because it can be argued that his intention was to use it to topple the government of Russia.
Meanwhile, Prigozhin is in exile because of his coup attempt against his motherland. Which is treasonable offense.
And the Russian defense minister did not commit any offense, and he is doing his job without making noise as Prigozhin.
Who cares all russians are thieves
The behind this mutiny is US
Urraaa!
Russian military is a brothel.
Prigo wagner boy is gonna guide russian military all the way to Kiev fron Belarussia
The cat is away and now the mouse is coming out to play!
Pootin and shoigu are a bunch of clowns
Without counseling, intentions dissipate,
they are confirmed when counselors are many.
Shoigu is a discipline and focus individual who don’t seek fame in a sensitive wartime. The crowd in Rostov-Don were cheering for a traitor that aimed to destabilize their livelihood and compromise their national security. How naive are Russians. This event has tainted the image of Russia as a secure country and tainted the image and legacy of Mr Putin as an effective leader who can protect the RF government against internal and external threat. He should had punished Prigozhin and Zelensky long time ago but he choose to play Mr Nice around with a comedian leading Neo-nazis and a Chef leading convicts as his mates. This is his weaknesses. Every leader has weakness. In the weekend we had confirm Mr Putin weakness.
So basically they just lied to dude, trick him to stand down and took care of him, what a way to treat a “hero”
shame video was shot two months ago more bullshit check your archives!!!!!!
Russia will destroy soon
same vid different day look out for the leopard crop sprayers “oh look there is one over there see it” “wow”
Must be tough for MSM to maintain their lies
Old footage
The energy and passion you bring to your videos is contagious. It’s impossible not to get excited about the topic.
reporter blinked her eyes one million times during this video posted. no lenses were hurt
SHOIGUUU!!!
When the coup general is also corrupt 😂
When the world will raise against the satanic empire of the USA ??
Heee looking🤣😂😂 at headlines of western media houses, one can only draw one conclusion; western media houses massagers and false prophets of doom. They only pray for bad things to happen.😂😂CIA USA /NATO play book tricks of “divide and conquer” failed faster than baking pan cakes..🤣😂😂Western War Mongers are disappointed with their sponsored failed coup attemp in Russia..😂😂😂 CIA and NATO hoped for the worst to happen in Russia but Russians are more united than ever🤣🤣😂 USA 🤣😂heee their money eaten for free.Russians love Putin and actually most of the world love and respect Putin and wish Putin to remain in power…anyway Wegner chief is smart as he realized that he will for sure perish if he didn’t accept humble pie from Putin🤣🤣 USA planted a rotten apple among the Russian military but God has other good plans for Russia.. and Wegner Boss his journey is over… Russia is greater than the west think and Wegner chief knows better than to make enemies with Putin that’s why he turned and abandoned the coup..😂🤣🤣..The USA and NATO miscalculated allot of things on Russia; Russia is not like Serbia, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Sudan or some third world poor country etc . Heee🤣USA 🤣😂should demand refund from WEGNER…Guess Putin is laughing his lungs out being the chess grand master playerr… Why can’t western media houses be agents of peace and goodness but rather they represent war and distraction.. God is in favour of Russia. Uraaa Uraaaa .
Heee🤣😂 USA/ NATO very confused now🤣😂😂…truth is the world is more safer with great Putin in power.Uraaa Uraaaa
Now USA/NATO have nothing left to use to frighten Russia?? Only thing left for USA/NATO is use Fake News Channels ie.CNN,BBC,DW,FRANCE24, SKYNEWS,ABC etc to spread falsehood/ propaganda.
It’s true, Ukraine is trapped in USA and NATO proxy war against Russia and sadly Ukrainians are perishing fighting for a USA and NATO proxy war against Russia. Despite Ukraine backed by USA, EU and NATO countries almost over 47 European nations all against one Russia and yet still our ♥️ Russia stands 💪strong. URAAA.
Ukraine was tricked and trapped by USA and NATO into their proxy war against one Russia. Ukraine is now a play house/testing ground for military toys.
Lets imagine for a second, if all the EU and NATO countries had ganged up against USA how long will USA alone last??? Look at how long Russia has withstood and continues to crush the USA and NATO countries supported Ukrainian forces?? Jealousy aside Russia is the number one military super power in the world as at now…Uraaaa Uraaa…
Putin is a Hero, a great Man and dignified President. Putin is fighting the evils of Western Emperorists of the USA and NATO.Very soon USA/NATO will cut and run, like they did in Vientnam, Somali, just recently in Afghanistan remember not very long ago.
Ukraine will be no more and people are dying there in Ukraine. Please enough is enough, those who love Ukraine should be honest and advise Zelensky wisely to negotiate peace and save lives.
