Helped Prigogine: Surovkin knew about the Wagner's military rebellion - the media
About it writes the newspaper The New York Times with reference to American officials who are familiar with intelligence. The interlocutors of the publication stated that they wanted to understand how Surovikin helped Prishea with coordination of actions. Americans call military rebellion the most serious threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin for 23 years of his residence. Other generals of the Russian Army could also support Prigogine's attempt to change the Defense Ministry's leadership.
"Prigogine would not raise the uprising if he had not believed that other officials in power would come to his aid," the sources said. If Putin finds the evidence of Prigogine's help from General Surovikin, he will immediately remove him from the command. However, it is visible that the President of the Russian Federation intends to blame the rebellion exclusively on the PEC head, officials and analysts in the United States believe.
High -ranking American officials suggest that the Union between General Surovikin and Prigogin may explain why the head of PEC "Wagner" is still alive, despite the fact that he seized a large Russian military knot and ordered an armed march to Moscow. Journalists noted that General Surovika spoke against the Wagner's uprising. He urged a group of invaders in Ukraine to keep positions and not join Prigogine.
