5 sources: Hardliners in #Russia security forces suggesting that #Putin replace Defense Minister #Shoygu, declare martial law, and begin a general mobilization

Also calling for removal of #UkraineInvasion commander Gen. Gerasimov

Diplomatic 5D-judochop-chess masterstroke.

Brilliant master strategist and #ZAnon darling #Shoygu (🇷🇺 ) is visiting essential ally #KimJonUn (🇰🇵 ) to inspect the new batch of draftees.

"Western officials": #WagnerGroup's #Prigozhin planned to capture #Russia Defense Minister #Shoygu/Gen. Gerasimov, commander of #Ukraine invasion

Prigozhin accelerated rebellion after FSB intell service learned of plot

Officials: Plan had good chance if it was not discovered

#Russia military bloggers suggest #Kremlin lied this AM when it said Defense Minister #Shoygu had visited #Ukraine

Bloggers note that images and video released today by Defense Ministry could be from Shoygu's trip to Russian border region of Belgorod last Friday

Hehe, that would be sneaky.

This whole mess is way too embarrassing for #Putin, #Gerasimov , and #Shoygu to be a ploy like that. They also went back (if i heard correctly) to Rostov am Donn and all (space-) eyes are on the #Musicians now anyway.

There is still a chance that this gets resolved by #Putin getting rid of #Shoygu and embracing #Prigoshin. Possibly planned by the two.

Not very likely though given the mess that's apparently already created whether real or not.

✌️ Moment #Surovikin and #Shoygu admit Russian #defeat in the #Kherson direction and announce the withdrawal of troops from right (western) western bank of the #Dnieper River.
The Russians will lose the strategically important part of Ukraine that they have occupied so far.

Another #Ukrainian 🇺🇦 success after the Russian defeat at #Kyiv, #Hostomel, #Suma, #Chernigov, on #SnakeIsland, or in the entire #Kharkiv region recently.
