Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu has visited Russian troops in Ukraine, the RIA Novosti news agency reports, his first public appearance since the weekend mutiny by the Wagner Group.
The leader of the Wagner Group – whose mercenaries have fought side by side with the Russian military – led a rebellion on Saturday.
Wagner’s chief has blamed Sergei Shoigu for his fighters’ deaths.
He also accused him of incompetence and corruption.
After taking control of Russia’s southern command post in Rostov-on-Don, Yevgeny Prigozhin demanded Shoigu be handed over to him, to quote ‘restore justice’.
Journalist Yulia Shapovalova joins us live from Moscow to discuss the latest updates.
