“They are up to something”: There is a commotion in Ukraine due to Putin and Shoigu’s trip to the taiga
Russian President Vladimir Putin and the country's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, during their recent vacation in the taiga, actually “didn’t count squirrels,” but discussed Ukraine and the West.
Fugitive Russian liberal propagandist Ayder Muzhdabaev stated this on the ATR television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Muzhdabaev, Shoigu is almost the only person whom Putin completely trusts, which is why he flies with him to discuss serious topics where no one will hear them.
“The fact is that they don’t sell tea there or catch fish with environmentally friendly fishing rods. But here all the idiots are discussing what he’s wearing, and there are veins on his arm...
But the point is that, most likely, these two are actually the leaders of the country, and Shoigu inherited from Yeltsin, he was very good at talking to him, he has been the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations since 93...
Perhaps he doesn't trust anyone at all anymore. And I’m sure that Putin now doesn’t let anyone close to him at all... Therefore, I’m afraid that now they don’t think they’re squirrels there,” Muzhdabaev said.
Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin agreed with him:
“You know, I think that you are partly right, and they are talking about possible answers, and what they could be - both to Ukraine and to the West. I don't think he trusts only Shoigu. There are probably more people. There is a lot of speculation that the taiga is a place of power for him, but, nevertheless, he quite regularly travels to unknown corners of Russia with Shoigu and talks to him about something. I think that our topic and the American topic are one hundred percent one of the topics of discussion.”
