Russia has suddenly broken the taboo, for the first time publicly revealing major mistakes of General Shoigu! Is Putin really starting to take action against the faction of Shoigu? The close ally of General Shoigu, former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Bulgakov, has submitted documents to the investigative authorities.
During the Battle of Bakhmut, the then Russian Defense Minister was Shoigu, and Bulgakov, his close ally, served as the Deputy Minister of Defense in charge of logistics support.
Bulgakov, who was arrested in July 2024, finally confessed that during the Battle of Bakhmut, Shoigu personally ordered to delay the delivery of weapons and ammunition to the Wagner Group. Moreover, it wasn't just a delay in delivery; the amount of ammunition provided to the Wagner Group on the Bakhmut front was greatly reduced.
Because of the lack of ammunition, the entire Battle of Bakhmut was extremely brutal, with repeated back-and-forth battles. The Wagner Group suffered the loss of 40,000 soldiers to seize Bakhmut.
During a crucial national strategic battle, due to the interests of a small group, the delivery of ammunition was cut and delayed, resulting in huge Russian casualties, several tens of thousands of blood. Such a matter being exposed seems to indicate that Putin is truly going to deal with Shoigu.
