 Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu appeared for the first time since a deal was struck on June 24 to end what the authorities had called an armed mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group aimed at ousting him. In a video released on Monday, June 26, morning by the Russian Defense Ministry, Shoigu was shown flying in a plane with a colleague in hearing reports at a command post run by Russia's Zapad military grouping. There was no sound on the video and it was not immediately clear where or when the visit had taken place. Russia's Zvezda Defense Ministry TV channel said Shoigu, who looked physically unharmed and calm, had listened to a report by Colonel General Yevgeny Nikiforov, the group's commander, about the current situation on the front lines in Ukraine. In his mutiny during which he seized control of Russia's military headquarters in southern Russia, renegade Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigazin had demanded that Shoigu and Valerie Jarazimov, the chief of the general staff, be handed over to him so that he could restore justice.
