Two of Putin's top army lieutenants have 'openly declared war' on Defence Minister and staunch Putin loyalist Sergei Shoigu after a series of embarrassing defeats for the Kremlin in Ukraine.
Chechen boss Ramzan Kadyrov and founder of the Wagner 'private army' or militia Yevgeny Prigozhin have turned on the minister amid heavy defeats and losses over the last two weeks, The Guardian reports.
It comes after Russia illegally annexed four Ukrainian regions including Donetsk and Luhansk in an announcement to which he gathered all of the country's top leaders and told the world the regions would 'remain with Russia forever.'
But just 24 hours later, there was clear evidence Ukraine was making major gains in the regions, recapturing land that Putin had just claimed as part of Russia.
This week gains in the south and east of Ukraine continued and triggered the two army leaders to openly 'declare war' on the Defence Minister, who is an easy target to blame for Russia's poor military results.
The Kremlin is turning to increasingly desperate measures in order to save face and try and halt the Ukrainian advance, including recruiting prisoners straight out of jail and, now, open infighting.
'Putin is a very destructive personality, he will play the different factions off each other and see what the best outcome will be,' a former Defense Ministry official told the Guardian.

Tell us how it was legal.
Thus the demented Russia supporters discredit themselves.
Russia is in obvious disarray in Ukraine. This is stated openly by countless RUSSIAN officials.
But you’re so divorced from reality, you believe anyone who posts an article unfavorable to Putin, is being “paid a few dollars”.
When you believe something so ridiculous and with no basis, why would anyone think you have sound judgment on this entire matter?
Hahahaha
Just too silly.
Lol you show yourself to be delusional.
Or just a filthy traitor.
“As an aside, the more pro Ukrainian, hate-filled screeds I read the more I think the Russians might be justified in seeking to contain the dangerous influences of the godless Globalists and their despicable puppets.”
They’re pretty mild compared to pro Russian, hate-filled screeds I read. I’ve never seen anything like it.
Which clearly means the obvious choice is to stay out of and let the toxic Slavic countries whale on each other to their hearts’ content.
As the world turns in the soapy Kremlin...
Yevgeny Prigozhin = Putin’s Chef
________These are the most toxic threads on Freerepublic and a disgrace to the forum. As an aside, the more pro Ukrainian, hate-filled screeds I read the more I think the Russians might be justified in seeking to contain the dangerous influences of the godless Globalists and their despicable puppets.__________
The most vile stuff comes from the Putinistas here. You are dead wrong. Snap out of it.
The irony flies right over your head, dennis.
Tee-hee.
Thank you very much for your apt words to this deranged person, who would definitely need helium in his head to walk upright.
The toxicity being discussed is the bile coming from the Putin loving posters. They aren’t staying out if it, are they?
I’ve seen bile coming from both.
For every unabashed Putin apologist, there’s someone gleefully calling all Russians “orcs” and proclaiming Russia must either be broken up (which is nothing more than an implicit call for mass chaos because Balkanization NEVER turns out well for that neck of the world), or that it’s the enemy of all humanity.
I’ve been called a retard, a warmonger, a Biden loving stooge, a fag, and a mother*ucker by the Young Putineers. I’ve also been told that “I’ll be dealt with.” I’ve never seen anything close to that from the other side.
