For a long time he was Vladimir Putin’s man for the rough – in Syria and Ukraine. “General Armageddon” is called Surovkin. According to the New York Times, the hardliner and other commanders may have known regarding the Wagner boss’s plans for an uprising.
He is a general who is held in high esteem in Russia. He was deployed in many battlefields: from Chechnya to Syria to Ukraine. General Sergei Vladimirovich Surovikin is highly decorated. But now there are reports that he may have been privy to the Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plans for an uprising. At least that’s what the “New York Times” reports, citing US intelligence information. And according to these American sources, other Russian generals may have supported Prigozhin’s revolt. It is said that the mercenary boss would not have dared the uprising if he had not counted on the help of high-ranking military personnel.
Apparently, that support never came. And Prigozhin had his fighters withdraw 200 kilometers from Moscow. The Kremlin was unimpressed by the report on Wednesday: “There will now be a lot of speculation, gossip and gossip regarding these events,” says Presidential Office spokesman Dmitry Peskov. “I think that’s one such example.” However, if parts of the Russian military leadership were actually informed of the action beforehand, that would be alarming news for Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin.
