Russian authorities have reportedly detained General Sergei Surovikin, the deputy commander of Russia’s military operations in Ukraine, amid a reported purge of military officials following the short-lived rebellion by Wagner mercenary forces.

He has not been seen in public since past Saturday, with US intelligence reportedly claiming that he had prior knowledge of the uprising led by the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Prigozhin had welcomed his appointment as overall Commander of the Russian forces in Ukraine post in 2022, calling him a “legendary figure” and “born to serve his motherland”.

Just two days after his appointment as Overall Commande rin Ukraine, Russia had unleashed the largest barrage of missiles and air strikes since the invasion in February, pushing the war into a deadlier new phase .

He was later sacked from this post.

Surovikin, nicknamed “General Armageddon” by the Russian media for his reputed ruthlessness, is a veteran of Russia’s wars in Chechnya and Syria who has been decorated several times by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon.
