Putin's defense minister Sergei Shoigu has had a 'massive heart attack not from natural causes' and TWENTY generals 'have been arrested' over bungled invasion

Shoigu is thought to have suffered a heart attack possibly caused by foul play
Russia's defence minister, 66, has been a close ally of Putin ever since 2012
He was a mainstay early in the invasion but has been largely absent for weeks
Russian-Israeli businessmen Leonid Nevzlin made the extraordinary claim
If his claims prove to be true, it would confirm suspicions of a major rift between the isolated Russian president and his closest advisers and military leaders
Nevzlin was once one of Russia's richest men but fled the country in 2003 when Putin and the Kremlin decided to seize his oil company

A Russian-Israeli businessman has claimed Russia's defence minister Sergei Shoigu has suffered a heart attack, which he suspects was caused by foul play.

There had been suspicions of tensions between Putin and Shoigu in late March over the invasion's slow progress, with US intelligence suggesting the pair fell out when Putin learned of the extent of Russian losses in Ukraine.

But Shoigu, 66, is now thought to be in intensive care after suffering 'a massive heart attack' which 'could not have occurred due to natural causes', according to Leonid Nevzlin, suggesting Putin's longtime ally may have been the subject of an assassination attempt ordered by his boss.

Shoigu was last seen on yesterday on a video conference with Putin and other ministers about the development of the Arctic but did not speak, and there is speculation the Kremlin is using previously recorded footage of Shoigu since his withdrawal from public appearances weeks ago.
