Can still be useful in the Russian Federation: Surovikin was ordered to remain silent until they forget about it - Politico

Currently, the Deputy Commander of the United Troops of Russia in Ukraine is under house arrest, and Politico journalists are referring to information from the Russian Telegram-channel "SCC-OGPU", which is considered allegedly close to the Russian security forces. General's house arrest with Armageddon's call sign is quite peculiar. He cannot in no way leave his own home, but it is allowed to accept guests, in particular among subordinates.

This indicates that it can still be useful in the Russian army. He disappeared from the public space after June 24, when the military rebellion of Yevgeny Prigogin took place. According to some reports, he could know that an attempt at a coup was being prepared, for which he was detained. The Kremlin was advised to stay in the shadows for a while to forget about him and his actions.

"There is no official investigation, but Surovika was in a balanced state for a long time, answering uncomfortable questions," the message reads. The decision on the final fate of the general in the future should be made by one person - Vladimir Putin. "It happens later that it will" cool "more, it is better," the source said.

Such a report, as noted in the publication, appeared only a few days after the former Russian Lieutenant General Viktor Sobolev in an interview with the Russian newspaper announced the removal of Sergei Surovikin from the position of commander of the army. It was also suggested that the general is still useful for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and at any time can return to the performance of duties. The Kremlin did not comment on this information at the time of the material.
