The Kremlin is declining to comment on the current whereabouts of Gen. Sergey Surovikin, a top Russian general who has been absent from public view since last week’s aborted mutiny by the leader of Russia’s Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

“I recommend that you ask the Defense Ministry,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on June 29 when queried about Surovikin’s whereabouts.
