Wagner warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a failed uprising against the Kremlin exactly two months ago, was on board a plane that crashed on Wednesday, according to Russian officials – raising questions as to exactly how the disaster occurred.
The crash took place northwest of Moscow and killed all on board, said Russia’s aviation agency, including Prigozhin, chief of the mercenary group that gained prominence for its brutal methods worldwide and its battleground victories in the Ukraine war. Here’s what we know so far. What happened? The plane was a private Embraer jet carrying seven passengers and three crew members, according to Russia’s emergency services ministry. It had departed from Moscow and was en route to St.
Another video released by RIA Novosti purports to show the crash site, where the last four digits of a registration number are visible on the plane engine debris: 2795. Prigozhin’s own plane, linked to his companies and the Wagner group, is registered as RA-02795. Was this payback? The crash comes exactly two months to the day after Prigozhin’s attempted mutiny against Russia’s military leadership.
