A former Russian army commander died “suddenly” the day after Vladimir Putin abruptly cancelled a trip to his tank enterprise.
General Alexei Maslov, 69, passed away on Christmas Day in a Moscow military hospital, according to the Uralvagonzavod plant where he worked.
Putin was set to fly to the plant in Nizhny Tagil – which had been criticised by the Kremlin for not producing enough tanks for use in Ukraine – on Christmas Eve.
But the warmonger cancelled the visit “at the last minute” with no explanation, according to local reports.
The death of Maslov follows the similarly unexplained death of Alexander Buzakov, 65, general director of Admiralty Shipyards in St Petersburg.
