Vladimir Putin ‘Too Scared’ To Axe Suspected Coup Plotter General

Putin is reportedly facing a serious dilemma on how to address the growing unrest within his ranks while simultaneously dealing with Ukraine’s advancements on the battlefield. The reluctance to punish Surovikin exposes the erosion of Putin’s power base and reveals further cracks in his leadership.

Surovikin, who previously served as a commander of forces in Ukraine, was reassigned to oversee Russia’s air force in January following rumors of a possible coup.

Despite the rumors, Surovikin’s daughter, Veronika, maintains that her father is safe and continues to fulfill his duties, stating, “Nothing happened to the Commander-in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces. No one has arrested him, and everyone is at their jobs.”
