Putin has removed General Sergey Surovikin from his position as the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), as reported by the former editor-in-chief of "Echo of Moscow."
Other sources from Russian media and Z-channels also confirmed this. There is still no official confirmation of the general's resignation.
Surovikin hasn't been seen in public since June 24, when the founder of the Wagner Private Military Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, attempted a military coup.
At that time, the general recorded a video message to Wagner fighters, urging them to return to their deployment locations while holding a weapon.
