Russian General Arrested in Connection to Wagner Mutiny and IT Expert Detained in Kazakhstan Amid Moscow's Pressure

Russian General Sergei Surovikin has been arrested following the Wagner Group's mutiny against Russia's military leadership. The arrest is believed to be connected to Surovikin's alleged support for Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin during the rebellion. Surovikin's current whereabouts are unknown, and the Defense Ministry has not commented on the arrest. The New York Times reported that Surovikin had prior knowledge of Prigozhin's plan, but the Kremlin dismissed the report as speculation. The mutiny sparked a serious security crisis in Russia, which was resolved when Prigozhin agreed to stand down in exchange for exile and immunity.
