Why is Sergei Shoigu being accused of a Putin putsch plot?
The annual Victory Day parade in Moscow might be a a lot smaller affair this yr, with out an intercontinental ballistic missile in sight.
Why? Well, the specter of a Ukrainian drone assault is definitely one cause. But is there any credibility in experiences of one other menace – this time in opposition to Vladimir Putin himself?
An nameless European intelligence company has claimed the Russian president is spooked over the prospect of a possible coup or perhaps a potential assassination try.
The alleged plotter is being named as former Putin ally and shunned ex-defence minister Sergei Shoigu. But how credible is that this report, and is the president’s paranoia justified?
Our Moscow correspondent Ivor Bennett joins Niall to debate whether or not Shoigu is de facto plotting to oust Putin, and what it means if the chief’s grip on energy is slipping.
