Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu again talks about his trip to the front. He assures that he allegedly was in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Defense published another “movie”, which allegedly shows Shoigu's visit to the war zone, Channel 24 informs.
Was Shoigu really at the front?
Russian resources claim that the minister inspected the forward command post of one of the formations of the Vostok group of troops in the South Donetsk direction.
Shoigu was allegedly reported by Colonel General Rustam Muradov and other officers. He also presented awards to Russian servicemen.
However, we note that in the video Shoiga is shown on board the helicopter, then on the street of the settlement and already indoors. Therefore, it is impossible to say where and when exactly the video was filmed.
Previous show with “Shoigu's trip”
In December 2022, Shoigu already “inspected” the occupying troops fighting in Ukraine. However, this “visit” to the front line is nothing more than a performance.
The Ministry of Defense of the aggressor country also said that Shoigu visited the Southern Military District and flew by helicopter over the positions of the Russians at the front. However, everything indicates that the video is just a montage, because green grass is visible on the frames.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine also noted that it is unlikely that Shoigu is so brave as to come to the front.
