O that the investigative measures in the Russian Federation concerning the deputy head of the Ministry of Defense Timur Ivanov on suspicion of corruption, apparently, will involve the first deputy of this department of the terrorist state, Ruslan Tsalikov, who has already even been interrogated by FSB officers, writes “NBN”, referring to the official X-account of the British Ministry of Defense.
British intelligence notes — Tsalikov is considered an unofficial patron of Ivanov. In addition, the first deputy of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, of course, is actually the third person in the hierarchy of the defense department, after Sergei Shoigu himself and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, General Valery Gerasimov. Thus, the arrest of Tsalikov may affect the ability of the Russian generals to make operational decisions on the war in Ukraine.
