A photo purportedly showing Russian General Sergei Surovikin, who has not been seen in public since the Wagner mercenary group's mutiny in June, has been published on social media. The authenticity of the photo has not been verified. Various reports suggest that Surovikin fell out of favor with the Kremlin following the mutiny and is being investigated for possible complicity. He was previously removed as head of the air force, and his deputy has assumed the role temporarily. Surovikin, known as "General Armageddon," was briefly in charge of Russia's war effort in Ukraine before General Valery Gerasimov took over.
The Kremlin and Russian security service officials reportedly kept the funeral of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the rogue Wagner mercenary boss, a secret to deny him "hero" status after his recent mutiny. The decision was made to prevent mass gatherings, unrest, and protests. The location of the burial was not revealed until after the funeral, and security officers remained on scene guarding the area. Prigozhin's death, which came two months after his revolt, rattled the Kremlin and sparked an outpouring of grief from the public. Despite being awarded the title "Hero of Russia," Prigozhin's funeral lacked the grandeur expected, with only a small number of relatives and friends in attendance.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the private military company Wagner, is presumed dead after his private jet crashed and exploded in a field. Prigozhin had led an insurrection against the Russian government, which was seen as a direct challenge to President Putin's authority. Despite the mutiny, a deal was made between Prigozhin and the Kremlin, resulting in dropped charges and immunity from prosecution. However, his reported death raises questions about potential revenge from his loyalists and the stability of the Russian government.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was reportedly "paralyzed and unable to act decisively" when the Wagner Group private military company launched an attempted mutiny. Intelligence assessments warned Putin of the potential rebellion, but no orders were issued for most of the day. Security officials believe that some in the power structures were waiting for the mutiny to be successful and would have joined the plot. The lack of agreement and disarray among officials led to confusion and delayed reaction. Eventually, a deal was struck with the leader of the mutiny, Yevgeniy Prigozhin, granting amnesty and permission to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion.
A junior commander from the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, has revealed his role in the attempted mutiny against Russian President Vladimir Putin. The commander, known as Gleb, explains that he and his fellow fighters were unaware of the plan and were given orders to move without knowing their destination. They encountered no resistance as they crossed the Russian border into the Rostov region. The fighters were instructed to surround law enforcement agency buildings in Rostov-on-Don and occupy the military airport. Gleb's unit was assigned to take control of the regional offices of the Federal Security Service (FSB). However, they found the building empty and eventually made a deal with two people who came out onto the street. Meanwhile, Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin demanded the handover of top Russian military officials. Gleb and his unit have been told to stay in their barracks in Luhansk, Ukraine, awaiting further orders.
CIA Director William Burns stated that Russia's elite are increasingly questioning President Vladimir Putin's judgment, particularly following a recent mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the mercenary Wagner Group. The mutiny exposed weaknesses in Putin's control and raised concerns about his detachment from events and indecisiveness. Burns highlighted the significant black eye for Putin as Wagner forces traveled unimpeded across Russia and Prigozhin publicly criticized the rationale for the Russian war on Ukraine and corruption within the Russian elite. Burns suggested that Putin will likely separate himself from Prigozhin and seek revenge in the long run.
Sergei Surovikin, a Russian general and deputy commander of Moscow's military operation in Ukraine, has not been seen in public since the Wagner Group mutiny. A Russian lawmaker stated that Surovikin is currently "resting" and not available. Reports suggest that he had advance knowledge of the mutiny, but there is no official confirmation of his whereabouts or arrest. The Wagner rebellion, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, posed a significant challenge to President Putin, but a deal brokered by Belarusian President Lukashenko ended the rebellion. An uneasy ceasefire is now being observed between Russia and Wagner.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Vladimir Putin and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, claimed that he "went crazy" as an explanation for his violent mutiny against the Russian military. The mutiny has raised questions about whether it was a lone act or had support from Putin's inner circle. Former employees described Prigozhin as prone to violent outbursts and cruelty towards subordinates. The report also revealed Prigozhin's fear of contracting COVID and a framed photo of decapitated heads found in his home. Anecdotes suggest that Putin had a close relationship with Prigozhin dating back to the late 1990s.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, a longtime ally of Vladimir Putin and leader of the Wagner Group, has offered a blunt explanation for his violent mutiny last month, stating that he "went crazy." The mutiny raised questions about whether it was a lone act or had the backing of some within Putin's inner circle. While U.S. intelligence suggests the latter, the Kremlin has portrayed Prigozhin as a rogue actor. Former employees have described his violent outbursts and cruelty towards subordinates. The report also reveals Prigozhin's fear of contracting COVID-19 and his cozy relationship with Putin dating back to the late 1990s.
Wagner Group mercenaries, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, reportedly attempted to steal backpack-size nuclear weapons from a well-guarded Russian nuclear base during their mutiny last month. The target was Voronezh-45, a facility that stores small, Soviet-era nuclear bombs that can be carried by a single person. The plot failed because the storage doors were closed and the mercenaries did not gain access. The attempt to steal nuclear weapons alarmed the Kremlin and prompted President Vladimir Putin to agree to a peace deal with Prigozhin. US officials have expressed concerns about the safety of Russia's nuclear stockpile in the event of a civil war between Wagner and Putin's regime.
Rebel Wagner forces, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin, reportedly came close to a Russian army base believed to house nuclear weapons during their advance towards Moscow. The base, Voronezh-45, is responsible for safeguarding Russia's nuclear arsenal, but the specific contents stored there are highly classified. Ukraine's head of military intelligence claimed that the Wagner fighters intended to acquire small Soviet-era nuclear devices, but were prevented by closed doors. Western officials maintain that Russia's nuclear arsenal was never at risk. Following the uprising, Prigozhin and his commanders met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing loyalty and readiness to continue fighting for their homeland. The criminal case against Prigozhin for rebellion was dropped, but his future remains uncertain.
Fissures are emerging within the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary organization, following Yevgeny Prigozhin's failed mutiny against the Kremlin. Former Wagner fighters have criticized Prigozhin's personal ambitions and his willingness to turn on their own. While Prigozhin has struck a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko to go into exile in Belarus, his base of support appears to be disintegrating. Some fighters lament the damage caused by the revolt, while others hope it will lead to change within the Russian military. The future of the Wagner mercenaries remains uncertain, with field camps appearing in Belarus but no confirmation of their destination.
