Just recently, the focus should have been on the tense Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, but the Russian side suddenly staged a series of surprising events. First, the Wagner Army suddenly defected and ended the rebellion in just one day, turning to the front lines.

Immediately afterwards, Putin announced that he had abolished the Wagner group's crime of rebellion and claimed that the group would be dissolved. In addition, it is surprising that Russian Admiral Surovikin, known as the "Doomsday General", has not appeared for a long time. There is information that Putin has already planted an inside line in the Wagner group, and Surovikin has been arrested and investigated for connection with this rebellion.

People want to know the truth about these events. Why was Surovikin arrested? Did Putin really plant an inside line in the Wagner Group? Let's stay tuned for the development of this story.
The Russian army broke out with a big thunder, and Admiral Surovikin has been arrested?
Recently, reports of the arrest of Russian military general Surovikin for supporting the insurgency have frequently appeared in the Western media. However, we need to be aware that the Western media often take a position critical of Russia, so their reporting may be biased and exaggerated.

We need more facts to assess the accuracy of these reports. In fact, shortly after, the Russian government issued a statement denying these claims. As a party, the Russian government's denial has a certain degree of credibility, and they have more information to support their views.

In addition, Surovikin's subordinate Andrei Eugene said that Surovikin did not suffer misfortune and was not detained, but was on vacation. In fact, the Russian version is very credible, because Surovikin is not a person who will be disloyal to the country. In fact, Surovikin took an active part in the "August 19 incident" in Russia and eventually went on trial by a military court. He had loyalty and a sense of responsibility to his country.
Putin with Sulovikin
There is a clear contradiction between this and his reports accused of supporting the insurgency, and we should re-examine the credibility of Western media reports. In addition, Surovikin once opposed numerous opinions, persuaded Putin to withdraw troops from the west bank of Kherson, and expressed willingness to take all responsibility for this. In summary, we need more factual basis to assess the accuracy of the report that "Surovikin was arrested for supporting the insurgency".

After the resignation of the Russian Deputy Minister of Defense, he became a vice president of the Wagner Group
Recently, reports that the Russian deputy defense minister joined the Wagner Group as a vice president after the resignation have attracted widespread attention. According to intelligence, Prigozhin had planned to arrest two top leaders of the Russian army, Shoigu and Gerasimov. However, this action plan was known to Putin in advance because Putin had a senior insider within the Wagner Group.

The presence of this inside line allows Putin to be informed of Prigozhin's actions in advance and to take corresponding measures. Faced with the leakage of intelligence, Prigozhin had to change his plans and temporarily decided to go to Moscow. However, on the way to Moscow, he encountered resistance.
Prigozhin
These resistance may have been caused by the Dzerzhinsky division of the Moscow Janissaries sent by Putin. Putin sent this army to fight the Wagner group in an attempt to stop Prigozhin's actions. In the face of the powerful Dzerzhinsky division, the Wagner group did not dare to confront it, and could only seek reconciliation.

In this series of events, it is suspected that the inside line within the Wagner Group may be the former Deputy Defense Minister of the Russian Army, General Mizintsev. Mizintsev was an important figure in the Russian military, leaving the army for some reason and joining the Wagner Group as an executive. He has some influence on both sides, this is an indisputable fact.
Prigozhin
However, this is only everyone's speculation, and the specific situation needs to be further confirmed. The Wagner affair reflects the complexity and the existence of a power struggle within Russia.
Putin turned passive into active and turned the Wagner rebellion into an opportunity
Recently, the Wagner Group has deployed a large number of mercenaries in Belarus, which has caused concern in neighboring countries. This move had a significant impact on the situation in Belarus and neighboring countries. First of all, the Wagner Group has shown considerable strength as a private military contractor. Therefore, the deployment of the Wagner Group to Belarus can be said to be a Russian tactic.

Located on Russia's western border, Belarus has always been an ally of Russia, and the presence of the Wagner Group here can effectively enhance Russia's deterrence against neighboring countries. Belarus acts as a bridge between Russia and Europe, and the deployment of the Wagner Group can help Russia gain access to European affairs and understand the security situation in the European region.

Finally, the presence of the Wagner Group has somewhat weakened the influence of the European Union over Belarus and further strengthened cooperation between Belarus and Russia.

Belarus itself has a relatively weak military strength, and the deployment of the Wagner Group can effectively fill the lack of Belarusian military strength and enhance its military strength. This is beneficial for Belarus, but it can pose a threat to neighboring countries.

The transfer of the Wagner bloc to Belarus not only strengthened the military power of Belarus, but also weakened Poland's strategic advantage.
