Russia's Top General Has Dropped Out Of Sight

 

RFE: All The Kremlin's Men: Russian Officials Drop Out Of Sight, Suggesting Post-Mutiny Purges    

The guessing game in Moscow these days: Where are they? 

Days after a mutiny by the mercenary warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, who sent thousands of his fighters racing toward the Russian capital, a growing number of prominent commanders and public figures have disappeared from public view. 

Rattled by the biggest challenge he has faced in his 23 years as the country's preeminent political figure, President Vladimir Putin has suggested he would root out those inside and outside the military people who have allied themselves, quietly or overtly, with Prigozhin. 

He may also be seeking to sideline those who let it happen or whose conduct of Russia's war in Ukraine has made them liabilities in his eyes.

WNU Editor: Following a report from the Moscow Times two days ago that Russian General Sergei Surovikin was arrested .... Russian General 'Armageddon' Arrested Following Wagner Mutiny (June 28, 2023), there has been a lot of speculation in the West on what is happening in Russia, including one report that is being pushed by the Ukraine government that there is now an internal war between Russia's intelligence service the FSB and the Russian military .... Putin's FSB and the Russian Army are 'at war' (Daily Mail). 

The truth is that no one outside the Kremlin and the Russian military high command really knows what is happening. 

A prediction. 

People within Russia's military and intelligence services have a lot of questions that need to be answered. Until those questions are answered, these two Generals (and I suspect many other top officials) are not going to be seen in public.
