Defence minister Sergei Shoigu has not been seen in public for 15 days

Geez Vlad is cleaning house?

Anton Gerashchenko, who works in the Ukrainian interior ministry, wrote on Facebook that Shoigu - who has not been seen in public since March 11 - suffered the medical episode after a confrontation with Putin.

The Kremlin has been accused of faking a video showing Shoigu on a video call with Putin on 24 March.
