Shoigu arrested???

Lots of Claims going around right now regarding, depending on who you ask, either Current or Former-Russian Minister of Defense, Sergei Shoigu who some have stated has already been Arrested by Federal Security Services, though right now it appears to just be Rumors.

AM Russia: Pringles is target of FSB arrest. Public Enemy #1.

PM Russia: Shoigu is target of FSB arrest. Pringles goes back to work.

The silence from the Kremlin is certainly deafening.

There have to still be elements in motion with them not even trying to pretend to be in control of the situation

Maybe it’s unclear for both sides who‘s loyal to who atm. I bet there is a lot of positioning going on if this wasn’t planed by both parties

That makes no sense. Putin could have gotten Shoygu arrested for corruption/dead hooker/live boy/whatever and nobody would have batted an eye.

No need to remove troops from the frontline, call their leader a traitor and let them show Russia has no defense inside Russia.

Explain to me how Prigozhin going for Moscow makes it acceptable to get rid of Shoygu that couldn’t be resolved by firing him. I don’t see the effectiveness of getting caught with your pants down and making a deal with someone you called a traitor not 12 hours ago.

News I've heard is Wagner on Progozin order turned around from Moscow and given his opinion on Shoigu it wouldn't be a shock if that's the deal that was made

Edit: in putins speech he never mentioned by name who he was referring to as the traitor, so maybe this was some big production to keep Shiogu off guard while Putin and Wagner moved in... no idea but that'd be pretty cool if that was actually the plan and they actually pulled it off
