(Russian) Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu's disappearance is reported In Russia

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/03/23/7333825/

Note: I know it says Pravda in the address but it's a Ukrainian news site. If this report is true, this is very interesting.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has not appeared in public since 11 March, so he has not been seen for 12 of the 28 days of war in Ukraine, Russian media reported.

Source: Russian investigative journalists from Mediazona and Agentstvo

Details: Journalists note that Shoigu has not appeared in public since 11 March.

Within Shoigu's entourage there is talk of him not being in good health - he has heart problems, an acquaintance of the minister told the newspaper.
