Russian General with Advance Knowledge of Wagner Rebellion Disappears

HeadlineJul 13, 2023

In Ukraine, at least one person was killed as Russia launched a wave of drone and missile attacks on the capital, Kyiv, for the third straight night.

The attacks came amid mounting signs of a crackdown by the Kremlin on leaders of the failed June 23 mutiny by Wagner Group mercenaries. A Russian lawmaker close to President Putin said Wednesday the deputy commander of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine is “currently resting” and “not available for now.” Sergey Surovikin reportedly had advance knowledge of the Wagner rebellion; he has not been seen publicly since shortly after the failed mutiny.

On Wednesday, Russia’s foreign intelligence chief, Sergey Naryshkin, confirmed he spoke with the director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, in a phone call late last month to discuss the Wagner rebellion and the war in Ukraine.
