Ukraine - Russia Conflict

Igor Girkin returns to roast Shoygu in his latest long Telegram post

Igor Girkin who has remained relatively quiet in the past couple of weeks after his debacle and an alleged attempt to enter Ukraine through Crimea, comes back with a long-winded post on his Telegram channel, once again throwing shade at the Russian Minister of Defence who is claimed to be “pushing for mobilisation in Russia while the president is firmly against it”.

In the post, Girkin first goes over the results of the third “Effective” stage of the SMO, claiming that it has now slowly became the fourth “preserve the civilian population of Ukraine” stage:

In the last couple of weeks, a topic has emerged on the Internet that is becoming more widespread, it has a nominal name: “Shoygu is not to blame for anything, he is doing all his best to win the war (insisting on holding the necessary mobilisation measures for this), but Putin personally interferes with him.” Apparently – this topic is being heavily thrown in and pushed through. And it is especially receiving a push right now, when Ramzan Akhmadovich [Kadyrov] reiterated his readiness to “quickly take Kyiv at any moment, if there is such an opportunity” (quoting closely, not exactly).

It is probably because he was particularly ineffective that he was not killed, like the other generals. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
It's also interesting that this is exactly what Hitler did before his downfall, he became the sole manager of all things, side-lining his departmental chiefs.
The Armed Forces do not spare missiles and are already hitting infantry: another base of Russians in Beryslav was destroyed.

When Hitler took charge ze Germans were on the retreat on both - western & eastern fronts. Till date, we haven't seen any such Russian withdrawal from the Donbass or Crimea.

If you're in possession of some top secret information to the contrary , courtesy Yahoo or Twitter or from your favourite hang out O'Shea or from that most venerable Irish Think Thank cum strategic consultancy - the Irish Intelligence Review, pls do share it with us like you did information of the various assassins of Darya Dugina.

You happened to share a tweet Or article saying Sergei Shoigu was relieved from his duties way back in March or April.

Now you're repeating your charge.

Which news report should we believe?
In March I gave this information:

Arrested/MIA list:
  1. Army General Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu, Defense Minister (missing since Mar 11)
  2. Army General Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov, Chief of General Staff and First Deputy Defense Minister (missing since Mar 11)
  3. Colonel General Sergey Orestovich Beseda, Director, 5th Department, Office of Operational Information and International Relations, FSB (arrested Mar 11)
  4. Lieutenant General Roman Gavrilov, Deputy Director, Rosgvardia (arrested Mar 17)
  5. Lieutenant General Vladislav Nikolayevich Yershov, Commander, 6th Combined Arms Army (arrested Mar 22)
  6. Anatoly Bolyukh (Lt. Gen equivalent), Deputy Director, 5th Department, Office of Operational Information and International Relations, FSB (arrested Mar 11)
Shoigu had been missing since 11 March and as there had been a lot of arrests the fact was reported because it might mean that he too had been arrested. The times were a bit turbulent and one had to analyse the situation with incomplete information. But the difference was well made between the Arrests and those which were only possible and which were marked "missing".

Second largest military in EU is .....ukraine, that should give rest of the minions who have more weapons but less troops to operate them, some thing to ponder over.
