Surovikin released from custody – media

General Surovikin was reportedly released a few days after Prigozhin died in a plane crash.

In Russia, General Sergei Surovikin, imprisoned after the rebellion of Wagner’s mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, was released from custody. This was reported by The New York Times, which received information from two anonymous American officials and a person close to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The interlocutors of the publication claimed that the general knew about the rebellion in advance, and a few hours after it began, the Russian authorities published a video in which Surovikin called on Wagner’s mercenaries to retreat.

It is reported that although General Surovikin appears to have been released from custody, it is unclear if any restrictions remain on him.

General Surovikin was reportedly released a few days after Prigozhin died in a plane crash. As the source notes, the general has so far retained his rank and is still a military officer, but he no longer has any career prospects: Russian state news agencies report that General Surovikin is an official who was removed from his position as head of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Alexei Venediktov, who previously headed the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, wrote on Monday, September 4, that “General Surovikin is at home with his family. On vacation and at the disposal of the Ministry of Defense.”

Recall that earlier the American media said that Sergei Surovikin was a secret member of the private military company Wagner. He was part of a circle of high-ranking Russian military VIP members of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s company.
