Ukraine minister Anton Gerashchenko has claimed Russian defence minister Sergey Shoigu had suffered a heart attack after a heated confrontation with Russian President Vladimir Putin where Putin squarely blamed him for the ‘failure’ of his special military operation in Ukraine.

The Ukraine minister has claimed that this is the reason why the defence minister, the man believed to be the second mastermind of the war, was not seen in the public since March 11.

On March 24, the Russian defence minister was seen on television again. It is, however, not known whether the footage was new or old.

Taking to Facebook, Anton Gerashchenko, the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said on Saturday that Shoigu had dropped out of sight after suffering a heart attack.

“Shoigu’s heart attack happened after a tough accusation by Putin for a complete failure of the invasion of Ukraine. Now he is undergoing rehabilitation at the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N. N. Burdenko,” read his post roughly translated from Russian.
