Russian President Vladimir Putin has begun a “witch hunt” among his circle of internal advisers. Against the backdrop of the ‘Putin Ukraine War’, the Russian Defense Minister has not been seen for 12 days, and his daughter was documented with her baby in clothes of the colors of the Ukrainian flag
Vladimir Putin’s war has plunged into a deeper crisis amid reports that Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has gone out of sight due to “heart problems”. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu has not been seen for 12 days, according to Putin’s opponents.
The publicity comes after it was revealed that Putin began hunting witches among his inner circle, and was wary of close allies after the United States and Britain received leaks of his military plans. This was reported by the Daily Mail.
Among those who raised the suspicion of a leak was Defense Minister Shoigu, who is responsible for the bloody military operation in Ukraine, which is estimated to have led to the killing of more than 10,000 Russian soldiers, and the mass killing of Ukrainian civilians.

His public appearances have been significantly reduced in the past week, his youngest daughter Xenia, 31, was seen posing with her baby in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, blue and yellow.
On March 18, Shoigu, 66, was mentioned in a report on the Kremlin website that said he and Putin had discussed “the progress of the special operation in Ukraine” with other members of the Security Council. But videos and photos were not shown. Shoigu is still considered one of Putin’s closest and most loyal allies.
