A high-ranking Russian general had previous knowledge of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion plans before he led the mercenary army’s attempted coup over the weekend, a report said.they are probing whether or not Gen. Sergei Surovikin, Russia’s former senior general in Ukraine, had conspired with Prigozhin over last week’s mutiny — the biggest threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin since 2000.
During his time in charge, he humiliatingly withdrew from Kherson in November. His demotion signaled Putin wasn’t impressed with his leadership, although he reportedly maintains popularity among the troops.Anadolu Agency via Getty Images If Surovikin and others worked with Wagner in the small but significant uprising, it’s indicative of an even wider fracture among Russian generals and Putin and his two top military commanders, Gerasimov and Shoigu, according to the New York Times.The Russian president reportedly doesn’t like to shake up personnel. However, officials said if he finds or believes that Surovikin assisted Prigozhin, he would likely be removed from command — which would be beneficial to Ukraine.
Officials who agreed to speak anonymously with The Times emphasized that much of US intelligence at this time is still preliminary, and US leaders have been unwilling to comment on the rebellion out of fear of feeding into Putin’s narrative that it was caused by the West.
