Former Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Tatyana Shevtsova has denied information about her departure from the country to France. This is reported by TASS with reference to Shevtsova herself,  the woman told reporters that she is now in Moscow and did not think of leaving anywhere.

According to Tatyana Shevtsova, all media reports that she left Russia and went to France are lies. Last Saturday, July 6, the woman, according to her, attended a dance tournament in the Kremlin.

Earlier, the portal Tsargrad, citing its sources, reported that Tatyana Shevtsova went to France immediately after being dismissed from her position. The information immediately aroused distrust, as no one else confirmed the departure.

Recall that in June, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed Deputy heads of the Ministry of Defense Nikolai Pankov and Tatyana Shevtsova. Many have linked these resignations to a corruption story involving former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov, who is being investigated for receiving a record bribe of 1,185 billion rubles and is now in custody>
