The ex -commander of the Armed Forces in Ukraine Surovkin was unexpectedly found: "illuminated" in North Africa (photo)
The Russian troops were noticed in the capital of the country when he was surrounded by several other officials and the military went to lay flowers at the grave of an unknown Soviet soldier located within the Delhi Ibrahim's military cemetery. The officials in the photo carry a wreath of flowers, wrapped with a ribbon with the colors of the Russian flag, and on their clothing the St. George's ribbons.
It is worth noting that the post does not have a direct mention that Sergiy Surovikin is visible in the footage. It is only stated that it is "the head of a group of Russian military specialists in Algeria". Prior to that, in September 2023, Kommersant wrote that Surovika was in Algeria with representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry, where he may probably be assigned to a diplomatic position related to "eastern work".
On October 8, 2022, Serhiy Surovikin, on the order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, received the post of commander of a united group of troops in the war in Ukraine. It was under his leadership that the Russian army began to attack Ukrainian energy facilities. Surovikin's name is associated with the construction of a large network of trenches, minefields, barbed wire, called "Surovikin Lines" in the occupied territories of a large network of trenches, mine fields.
Surovika disappeared from the media field after the so -called "rebellion of Prigogine" in June 2023, and in January 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin released him from the post of head of military forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, appointing Valery Gerasimov instead. In September 2023, the Russian media wrote that the Russian authorities removed all the references to Surovikin.
