Russian General Sergei Surovikin has been arrested, with The Moscow Times reporting that it received confirmation of his apprehension from two sources who are close with the nation’s Ministry of Defense. The outlet notes that the department has yet to officially provide its own comment on the matter.

American officials have been attempting to find out whether or not Surovikin aided Yevgeny Prigozhin in his plot to defect against Russia’s military using the Wagner Group, according to the New York Times. 

US intelligence has reportedly asserted that Surovikin knew about the planned rebellion. 

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
