"It was earlier advised to “Be Very Skeptical Of US Intel Claiming That Surovikin May Have Helped Plan Prigozhin’s Coup”, and now two new developments lend even more credence to those suspicions.
The “investigative project” of exiled oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was designated 
by Russia as a foreign agent last year due to his operations being funded by Ukraine, shared “documents” with CNN purporting to show that over 30 senior military and intelligence officials are secretly VIP Wagner members.
The
outlet reported on these alleged findings around the same time that
they published former Vice President Mike Pence’s answer to the question
that one of their journalists asked him during his unannounced visit to
Kiev regarding his opinion of whether or not President Putin has full
command of his military. He claimed that this is an “open question” in light of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed coup attempt last weekend, thus suggesting that Russian leader is struggling to exert his authority.
These
two back-to-back news items were intended to leave their audience with
the impression that the President Putin remains at risk of being
overthrown by his armed forces, which is nothing but an artificially
manufactured information warfare narrative designed to sow doubts about
his leadership.
It simultaneously attempts to influence him and his circle into carrying out large-scale purges that could adversely affect the special operation while also making the public think that he’s weak if he doesn’t.
The New York Times earlier
admitted that “American officials have an interest in pushing out
information that undermines the standing of General Surovikin, whom they
view as more competent and more ruthless than other members of the
command." ZeroHedge
