'The sources publishing these speculations have largely been accurate in previous reporting on Russian command changes, although the ongoing disruption to human networks and the severe potential consequences related to Prigozhin's armed rebellion may affect these sources' accuracy,' the think tank added.Īccording to The Moscow Times, Surovikin has been detained by authorities, though this has yet to be confirmed by Russian officials. Meanwhile, affiliates of deputy commander of the joint grouping of forces in Ukraine Army General Sergei Surovikin are accused of 'complicity' in Prigozhin's mutiny.

The think tank cited another Russian source as saying that an 'atmosphere of suspicion has enveloped the General Staff' and that Gerasimov's affiliates are being accused of 'indecision and failure.'

Russian Airborne Forces commander and rumored deputy theater commander Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky likely assumed responsibilities as overall theater commander in Ukraine following Prigozhin's rebellion, the ISW said. Notably, Russia's Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov may have been stripped of his responsibilities for Russian operations in Ukraine, while retaining his post, the milblogger said.Īs the Wagner Group marched on Moscow during Prigozhin's short-lived mutiny, the Russian tycoon declared that his goal was the resignation of the men leading Russia's war in Ukraine-Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Gerasimov. 'The milblogger claimed that Russian officials are using the MoD's 'indecisiveness' in suppressing the rebellion and 'support for paramilitary companies (PMCs)' as pretexts to remove 'objectionable' personnel from their positions.' The think tank cited a prominent Russian milblogger as saying that the mutiny has prompted 'large-scale purges' among the command cadre of the Russian armed forces and that the Ministry of Defense (MoD) was currently undergoing a 'crash test' for loyalty.Ī review is being conducted by the Federal Guard Service (FSO), which provides security for the president and other state officials, into the Russian military leadership and commanders of individual units, the ISW said, citing the milblogger.

Large-scale 'purges' are underway in Russia in the aftermath of the mutiny attempt, according to one think tank. A man holds the Russian national flag in front of a Wagner Group military vehicle in Rostov-on-Don late on June 24, 2023.
