Documents shared exclusively with CNN suggest that Russian General Sergey Surovikin
was a secret VIP member of the Wagner private military company, the group whose leader headed up a recent short-lived insurrection that plunged Russia’s military forces into uncertainty. It's unclear where Surovikin has been since the rebellion ended. Meanwhile, former Vice President Mike Pence visited Ukraine on Thursday and told CNN’s Erin Burnett it’s an "open question" whether Putin is in full command of his military following the revolt. Meanwhile, the White House is
strongly considering approving the transfer of controversial cluster munition warheads to Ukraine to aid its counteroffensive despite the risk such weapons could pose to civilians.
