Russia responded to the possible return of General Surovikin to the Northern Military District

Army General, Hero of Russia Sergei Surovikin is capable of strengthening the offensive actions of Russian troops in the special military operation (SVO) zone. This is how military analyst, senior researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences Vladimir Prokhvatilov responded to information about the military leader’s possible return to combat in an interview with the National News Service (NSN).

Earlier, the British publication The Telegraph wrote that Surovikin had allegedly already returned to command and was directing air strikes on Kyiv, including on bridges across the Dnieper, through which 90 percent of transport passes from the left bank to the right bank of Ukraine. In turn, the source of the Telegram channel “Caution News” denied this information, noting that the general will continue to work in Africa.

“Surovikin can strengthen attacks, he can improve the effectiveness of our offensive actions. Of course, the British are afraid for a reason,” Prokhvatilov emphasized.

Earlier, military expert Franz Klintsevich pointed out that Surovikin has significant experience, which may be in demand in a special military operation. Military observer Viktor Baranets also spoke about the possible return of the Hero of Russia - the analyst did not rule out that after completing his business trip to Algeria, the general would be sent to the Krasnoliman direction.
