Vladimir Putin remains a master strategist

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu is being 'side-lined' by Vladimir Putin and is constantly mocked by his own soldiers, the British ministry of defence has revealed.

In its daily briefing, the MoD said the veteran politician who has held the defence post for 10 years is no longer the confidant and ally he previously was to the leader.

Russia's failures in Ukraine after sustaining huge losses to personnel and equipment without making major inroads into the country have led to his ousting from Putin's inner circle.

The head of the Russian military is no longer briefing Putin directly, with the Russian leader instead being updated by operational commanders, the report said.

The MoD said today: 'Recent independent Russian media reports have claimed that due to the problems Russia is facing in its war against Ukraine, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu is now being side-lined within the Russian leadership, with operational commanders briefing President Putin directly on the course of the war.

'Russian officers and soldiers with first-hand experience of the war probably routinely ridicule Shoigu for his ineffectual and out-of-touch leadership as Russian progress has stalled.

'Shoigu has likely long struggled to overcome his reputation as lacking substantive military experience, as he spent most of his career in the construction sector and the Ministry of Emergency Situations.'

He became defence minister in 2012 and along with Sergei Lavrov, has long been considered a trusted Putin lapdog.

What’s amazing here is that the Russian MoD is admitting they are having problems facing Ukraine in their war as Putin throws Shoigu under the bus.

Also today…more winning!

"Fired another 6 top generals today" not just 6 but 6 of the top generals!!1!1. Honestly, anyone who believes this bs should probably be considered legally retarded.

So he’s fired six generals. How many dead generals are there so far?

How many generals did Lincoln fire until he found the right ones?

Ooooooh, bad move! Now when things keep failing he's going to have to sideline himself.

Putin in 72 hours >>>

Putin is losing.

He is fucked.

Mark my words!

Let us not forget that Lincoln tried to get Robert E Lee to accept command of the Union army and Lee refused, dodged a bullet there.

They were lucky, other 7 generals are already dead.
Soon Putler will remain the only one in charge.

Putler is handling the special operation single handedly
