Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu’s son, Danila Sergeevich Shebunov, is attempting to build a career in show business, according to a report by Alexei Navalny’s team of investigators at the Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF). The 19-year old went on vacation to Turkey with his music producer four days before President Vladimir Putin announced a nationwide mobilization into the country’s armed forces. Since the invasion of Ukraine, Putin and his family are increasingly in the spotlight, which he has been trying to keep secret even since before his presidency.

Like it's a news. The only thing you should know about russian propaganda narrative is that it points to the inside auditory, they don't care about people from developed countries in most cases.

They may not care, and we don't care that they don't care. These things should be reported imo.

Yeah, sure. I'm reading Russian news all the time and I've stopped wondering like after a month after 24feb. That's just noise to distract everyone's attention from really important things.
