Sergei Surovikin and Putin

And while the mission of Wagner boss Yevgeny Progozhin to "conquer" Moscow and overthrow Putin has failed, new details come to light from the mercenaries' plan.

The last and among the most important concerns the role of General Sergei Surovikin, who is Putin's confidant who reorganized the Army in Ukraine, in this attempt to bite "the hand that fed him".

According to sources cited by the New York Times, he was aware of Prigozhin's rebel plan, but the Kremlin has rejected the rumors even though the news is widely circulating on the Internet that Putin is seeking his arrest.

A man of vast military experience, already leading operations in Ukraine, Surovikin is known for his excellent relationship with Evgeny Prigozhin, who has often praised him publicly, in comparison to the hated Defense Minister Shoigu.

For some, the general has also become a kind of privileged conduit in times of tension, but US intelligence officials have explained that they are now trying to understand whether the senior officer, in addition to knowing Wagner's sinister plan, helped the mercenaries on their way.

In the first moments of the uprising, Surovikin appeared on video, a machine gun by his right hand, and attacked Prigozhin, asking him to stop. According to the same sources, it cannot be ruled out that he was forced to do so, as if he were a hostage.

Another aspect concerns the rest of the hierarchy: "How many generals were ready to support Putin's 'chef'?".

In reality, no one has come blatantly out in the open, even if there are various forms of cooperation.

The abysmal reaction of the armed forces has led to hypothesize the sympathy of some departments towards Wagner. Delays are also attributed to conflicts, lack of accurate orders, confusion and lack of adequate units.

The New York Times acknowledges that the Surovikin news may also represent an attempt to create trouble for the military, raising suspicions about a general who has done a good job by creating a defense system in occupied areas, the Surovikin Line, and has stabilized the front with his elections.

So, a weight character. The Kremlin - this is the opinion of an expert - may also decide not to punish him, while others believe that if he crosses the Rubicon he risks too much. However, we are in the early stages and much remains to be understood, so even the proliferation of conflicting analyzes is evidence of this.

Mark Galeotti suspects that the shadows cast on Surovik are part of "information warfare" against a competent figure, hoping that the Russians will take US whispers for granted. Sowing suspicions in the enemy camp, however well-founded, is a common tactic and one that now exploits the distrust of a nomenclature shaken by Prigozhin's coup.

Moscow knows this, as does Putin, who in his career within the KGB was involved in similar actions.

Washington has issued many messages in recent days. US intelligence seems to have known Prigozhin's intentions for some time, and Putin knew it too.

1) American intelligence had long known Prigozhin's intentions and Putin knew it too.

2) Pressure has been put on Kiev to avoid taking advantage of the moment.

3) There was direct contact with the Russians to reaffirm the extraordinary manner of Wagner's movements.

4) There were fears for the safety of Moscow's nuclear arsenal. A strategy of "containment" of the crisis, to avoid an escalation at the most critical moment. Now with the "new Tsar" (Prigozhin) engaged in restoring order, a new phase can begin.
