The man of mystery, disappearance and reappearance, videos and tarot cards. But above all the man of war. We are talking about Sergei Shoiguthe Russian Defense Minister, so one of the most important heads of Wladimir Putin and one of the main minds behind the war in Ukraine.
But as the chronicles of the last 40 days report, something did not go optimally. Yes, the Blitzkrieg suspected by Shoigu, Gerasimov and Moscow’s top military leaders turned out to be anything but lightning. After 44 days, the Russians withdraw from the north and Kyiv: the targets are Mariupol and Donbass (assuming the targets aren’t much larger and more expansionary, perhaps with a hand from China).
But it was said: the failure of the blitzkrieg, or at least the many losses suffered by the Russians and admitted by the Kremlin in the last few hours, Shoigu and Gerasimov, among others, led to the hypothetical dock. At least they report drafts from the Kremlin, because there are no official confirmations.
As I said, the secretary of defense saw little, very little. But now, to confirm the fact that he’s “alive and active,” he’s thinking about it Huluski Akar, Minister of Defense of Turkey. In fact, Akar reported having spoken to his counterpart on the phone. And he added that the two agree on the “meaning of.” an urgent ceasefire to favor a diplomatic solution between Russia and Russia Ukraine and the urgency of the safe evacuation of civilians, especially Mariupol, by land and sea. In short, a Shoigu who would have said he was propeace, looking for an immediate diplomatic solution: positions with which it seems partially unmarked from those of Tsar Putin. For his part, Akar added that Turkey is trying to provide all kinds of support for humanitarian aid and is trying to play a role in maintaining peace in the region.
