This general has given rise to much speculation since he suddenly stopped appearing after the coup by Wagner’s forces at the end of June.
Earlier, local media reported that Mr. Surovikin had been dismissed from the post of head of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which he had held since October 2017.
Reports also say Mr Surovikin was aware of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion plans.
This general was nicknamed General Armageddon due to his strong military strategies in Chechnya and Syria.
