As experts note, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, monopolized the military sphere in the aggressor country. Although his political ambitions are not noticed, he may later enter into confrontation with Vladimir Putin.

This opinion Channel 24 was voiced by military observer Denis Popovich. According to him, Shoigu is not very popular among the Russian armed forces.

Shoigu's political ambitions

Denis Popovich noted that Shoigu always supported Putin and carried out all orders. In particular, when the dictator decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Minister of Defense assured that the Russian army was ready for this.

Shoigu was considered Putin’s faithful dog, who completely followed his orders and fulfilled all his whims. In addition, Shoigu supported Putin regarding his decision to carry out a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. There were different opinions among those around him, but Shoigu supported him, he said.

There are no signs yet that Shoigu has political ambitions. However, if they exist, then the confrontation between Putin and the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense will be very interesting to watch.

“Shoigu really has a resource in the form of a military formation. Another thing is how much they will be loyal to him. There may also be a split there, one part of the army may obey Shoigu. Although he is very unpopular in the Russian armed forces,” the military observer suggested.
