"He is not the last": Financial Times confirmed the arrest of the Commander -in -Chief

"Surovikin, a high -ranking Russian general, who is known to maintain good relations with Wagner's leader Yevgeny Prigogin, did not appear for several days and was detained, according to three people familiar with this issue," the media writes. According to informants who talked with journalists on the rights of anonymity, Vladimir Putin launched a cleaning operation at the top of the special services.

And the first in the list was Surovika, who was closely linked to the creator of the Wagner PEC Yevgeny Prigogin. They point out that Surovikin's suspicions could be caused by his good relationship with Prigogin. While the Wagner warlord laughed at other generals and the elite of defense, accusing them of a large number of those killed among Russian soldiers during the invasion and accusing them of "genocide", he supported a dialogue with Surovikin.

"Putin knew about the plans of Prigogine's rebellion in advance, as we understand, and so he could prepare to some extent. He was able to see who did what day. And now he was cleaning in the house," said one of Western officials. He also expressed confidence that other arrests would be followed by Surovikin.

We will remind, in the evening of June 28 Roszmi spread information that the commander -in -chief of the PCS of the Russian Federation Surovikin was placed in the pre -trial detention center "Lefortovo". According to Russian journalists, the officer is suspected of the State Executive Council, as he allegedly knew about the preparation of the rebellion of the head of PEC "Wagner" by Yevgeny Prigogine and helped to implement it.
