Watan<\/strong><\/em>-Moscow has appointed General Sergey Surovikin\u2014the former commander of Russia\u2019s military operations in Syria and Ukraine\u2014as the head of its military advisory mission at the Russian embassy in Algeria, aiming to bolster the Kremlin\u2019s \u201cmilitary diplomacy\u201d in North Africa, according to French newspaper Le Monde<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nicknamed \u201cGeneral Armageddon\u201d for his reliance on brutal airstrikes during Russia\u2019s intervention in Syria to support Bashar al-Assad\u2019s regime, Surovikin has also maintained close ties with the Wagner Group.<\/p>\n

Le Monde<\/em> reports that Surovikin was recently seen at a military cemetery near Algiers during a commemoration of the Soviet \u201cGreat Patriotic War\u201d against Nazi Germany (1941\u20131945), alongside a Russian diplomatic delegation.<\/p>\n

Photos posted on the embassy\u2019s Telegram channel on May 9 show him in sunglasses and a loose-fitting civilian suit, accompanied by Russian Ambassador to Algeria Alexey Solomatin and Military Attach\u00e9 Vladimir Tsukanov. While his presence was not unusual\u2014Russian media report he visits Algeria at least annually\u2014the key revelation this time came from the text accompanying the images: his formal appointment as \u201cHead of the Group of Russian Military Advisors in Algeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

Surovikin\u2019s Algeria Appointment Signals Expanded Kremlin Military Role<\/h3>\n

This appointment confirms Russia\u2019s deepening military commitment in Algeria and increasing presence of Russian advisors, Le Monde<\/em> emphasizes.<\/p>\n

The newspaper recalls that under the command of this so-called \u201cButcher General,\u201d the Ukrainian city of Mariupol was obliterated between February and May 2022, resulting in tens of thousands of civilian deaths. Surovikin\u2019s forces also systematically bombarded energy infrastructure, hospitals, train stations, markets, and schools across Ukraine\u2014a strategy tested in Syria five years prior.<\/p>\n

\"Russia
Russia and Ukraine have launched the first phase of a new prisoner exchange, following recent peace talks in Istanbul.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In recognition of his effectiveness, Surovikin was named commander of the Ukraine front in October 2022 amid Russian military setbacks. However, facing an intense Ukrainian counteroffensive, he oversaw the withdrawal from Kherson.<\/p>\n

Mysteriously, his influence waned in September 2023, and his name vanished from the Russian defense ministry\u2019s organizational structure. Though his resignation was never officially announced, he fell from favor, with his last public appearance in Russia occurring on June 23 of the same year\u2014when he appeared in a video urging Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin to stand down from his mutiny.<\/p>\n

Surovikin\u2019s Comeback in Algeria Revives Wagner Ties and Kremlin\u2019s North Africa Push<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Their relationship had been notably close. Prigozhin leveraged strong ties with key military officials to protect Wagner\u2019s interests in the defense ministry, and Surovikin was among approximately 30 top officers affiliated with the group. According to the opposition-linked \u201cDossier Center,\u201d Surovikin held VIP status within Wagner since 2017.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Le Monde<\/em> argues that his association with Wagner\u2014and his willingness to adopt its tactics, such as prison recruitment campaigns\u2014make him well-suited for missions in North Africa, where discretion and unconventional warfare skills are key.<\/p>\n

His appointment is viewed as a testament to Russia\u2019s growing stake in Algeria at a time when President Vladimir Putin, angry with France, seeks to entrench Russian influence in the Mediterranean and Sahel regions. Though the announcement was indirectly revealed through the Russian embassy, it clearly signifies an escalation in Russia\u2019s regional \u201cmilitary diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"According
Morocco-Algeria conflict<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the French newspaper, one of Russia\u2019s strategic aims could be to exert pressure over the Western Sahara issue. Algeria supports the Polisario Front, while France backs Morocco. A report by the U.S.-based Robert Lansing Institute warns that Russia may use this dispute to provoke tensions between Rabat and the West\u2014possibly even deploying Russian military trainers to Algerian border forces near the disputed zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
