"Putin's Cunning Move: Dismissing 'General Armageddon' Raises Suspicion, Expert Warns"

The firing of Russian General Sergei Surovikin, known as "General Armageddon," who had been missing since the Wagner Group uprising, may be part of a disinformation campaign by the Kremlin, according to military intelligence analyst Rebekah Koffler. The reports of Surovikin's dismissal originated from a Russian source and quickly spread across Russian media, raising suspicions of a deliberate attempt to divert attention and confuse opponents. Some experts believe that the timing of the firing, along with recent events such as the possible death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, sends a message of control and deterrence from Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, it is still uncertain whether the firing is genuine or a strategic move by the Kremlin.
