The Kremlin has declined to answer questions about the whereabouts of the Russian army general Sergei Surovikin amid unconfirmed reports that he was being questioned by the security services.
US intelligence on Wednesday claimed that Surovikin, who previously led the invasion force in Ukraine, had prior knowledge of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s uprising, in which Wagner group mercenaries captured the city of Rostov and moved on Moscow before cutting an amnesty deal.
