Five sources confirmed to reporters that the Russian Federation wants to impose martial law and mobilize. At the same time, although President Vladimir Putin’s reputation was tarnished after Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion, the Russians see no alternative.
Russian state security agencies, namely the enemy FSB, support the dismissal of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov. This is stated in the Bloomberg material published Aug.
According to two unnamed people, Wagner PMC chairman Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempt to remove Shoigu and Gerasimov from their posts received some support. Moreover, five people familiar with the situation confirmed the desire of security supporters to move towards a more aggressive war.
According to the sources, for this purpose, the Russians want to replace Shoigu, declare martial law in Russian lands and mobilize the people altogether.
“But so far there is no sign that they will be eliminated, and Russian General Sergei Surovikin, who was questioned in connection with the failed uprising, has not been seen since,” the media said.
Nikolai Petrov, spokesman for the SWP think tank in Berlin, said in a media commentary that Prigozhin’s attempted military insurgency also affected the “indestructible image” of President Vladimir Putin himself. However, the Russian elite still considers it the best guarantee of survival, since there is no alternative.
“At a time when it is unclear what will happen if Putin leaves, it is in the elite’s interest to maintain the status quo,” Petrov said. said.
Recall that on July 17, the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate Andrei Yusov said that the General of the RF Armed Forces Sergei Surovikin was deprived of his powers. His arrest was associated with the PMC “Wagner” rebellion.
Recently, on August 15, the media reported that Surovikin was ordered to remain silent until he was forgotten. Journalists noted that the Russian general is under house arrest and his fate depends on President Vladimir Putin’s decision.
