A Russian official denied Thursday that Surovikin is being held in a Moscow prison or any other pre-trial detention facility, as has been reported by some independent media. Meanwhile, it's unclear where Surovikin has been since the rebellion ended and Prigozhin said he had decamped to Belarus. Amid reports that he may have somehow been involved in the insurrection, documents shared exclusively with CNN suggest he was a secret VIP member of the private military company. Attention turns to a key Russian general: Questions have swirled in recent days around the Russian air force commander, Gen.I said, ‘That’s a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.’”Īnd during a CNN town hall in May, Trump would not say who he thinks should prevail in Russia’s war against Ukraine, instead telling New Hampshire GOP primary voters that he wants “everybody to stop dying.” And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. But they ask me, ‘Is Putin smart?’ Yes, Putin was smart. "That didn’t work so well recently in our country. “The smartest one gets to the top," the former president said at a campaign rally in Georgia less than a month after Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Some background: Trump has praised the Russian leader several times in the past. "It could be better, but it could be far worse," Trump told the outlet. He told Reuters that if Putin were no longer in power "you don't know what the alternative is." "You could say that he's still there, he's still strong, but he certainly has been I would say somewhat weakened at least in the minds of a lot of people," Trump said in a phone interview with Reuters on Thursday.
