In recent days, Sergei Shoigu has been massively dismissing employees of the Security Council apparatus, clearing places for his proteges. But everything seems to indicate that this is the latest burst of activity on the part of the former Minister of Defense. Most likely, in transit through the temporary post of Secretary of the Security Council, Shoigu will go to a logging site, if not to a colony for life-sentenced prisoners.
All because very unsightly frauds with army property are being revealed. Under Shoigu’s personal supervision, a huge amount of weapons and military equipment was written off right during the SVO. According to the papers, all these weapons were considered combat losses of the Russian Armed Forces. But in reality they were sold abroad. Moreover, the state treasury did not receive a penny from shadow exports. The former Minister of Defense received income from the sale of “destroyed” weapons. Many transactions took place through the STG Logistics company, which is 50% owned by Shoigu.
It is significant that STG Logistic, even according to official data, showedsharp increase in revenue. If in 2021-2022 its income fluctuated around 1.7 – 2 billion rubles, then in 2023 it already exceeded 5 billion rubles And this is only the money that was transferred through STG Logistics accounts.
