MOSCOW—Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was shown speaking to troops in a video released by his ministry on Monday, his first known appearance in public since a mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group.
There was no sound on the video, and it was not immediately clear where or when the visit had taken place.
Shoigu was shown flying in a plane with a colleague and hearing reports at a command post run by Russia’s Zapad (West) military grouping.
The Defense Ministry TV channel, Zvezda, 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….
