The ex-commander of the Joint Group of Forces in the Special Military Operation (SVO) zone, General Sergei Surovikin, was filmed on board a plane amid rumors of his return to Russia.

Surovikin was predicted a new position
The Telegram channel Brief, which published the video, writes that Surovikin may soon return to command. Military correspondent Vladimir Romanov assertsthat the ex-commander in the Northern Military District zone will be offered the post of Chief of the General Staff against the backdrop of possible reshuffles in the Russian government.
After the mutiny of the private military company (PMC) Wagner in June 2023, Surovikin disappeared from public space for some time. The British newspaper Financial Times wrote that Surovikin was detained and imprisoned in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center. However, this information was denied by both social activists and the general’s daughter.
In September 2023, retired Colonel General Viktor Zavarzin noted that Surovikin had been found “a good position in the CIS.” In the same month, the general was seen in Algeria as part of a delegation of the Ministry of Defense in a sand-colored uniform – this color is used by military personnel serving in countries with dry and hot climates.
In the fall of the same year, Surovikin was noticed in the Moscow region, but he refused to comment on his situation, saying only that he was continuing to serve.
