The Moscow Times is reporting that the deputy chief of staff of Russia’s armed forces has been arrested. The paper says General Sergei Surovikin is being held on suspicion of involvement in Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner group’s rebellion. The New York Times has also reported that Surovikin had advanced knowledge of Prigozhin’s plans. The Kremlin denies the allegations, and maintains military commanders are united behind President Vladimir Putin.
