(Reuters) – Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected Russian troop models concerned in Ukraine, the defence ministry stated on Sunday.
“On the command posts of Russian models, Army Normal Sergei Shoigu heard stories from the commanders on the present scenario and actions of the Russian Armed Forces in the primary operational areas,” the ministry stated in a press release.
It was not instantly clear when the go to occurred or if Shoigu had visited Ukraine itself. (This story corrects to point out that Shoigu visited troops concerned within the Ukraine operation, in line with the defence ministry. It was not instantly clear whether or not or not he visited Ukraine.)
