I think it was the Duran discussed the possibility of a post-election "reshuffle" a week or more ago. Shoigu was mentioned as it has been let known in some places that he wanted to retire from his post for some time, but had been persuaded to stay on. So the headline " Putin to remove Shoigu" is of course misleading, suggesting some sort of surprise and underhand purge in the Kremlin The other person who might be quitting his post is foreign minister, Lavrov, according to the Duran.
