Yevgeny Prigozhin has been killed in a private jet crash in the Tver region north of Moscow, Russian agencies have reported.  

The Wagner mercenary boss was on board the aircraft when it crashed killing all 10 passengers, authorities have said.

According to Russia’s federal air transport agency: “An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. 

“According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list.”

The flight appears to have been travelling between Moscow and St Petersburg. Wagner-linked Telegram channels have reported that the plane was shot down by Russian air defences.

Mr Prigozhin led an abortive coup against Russia’s military leadership in June, which ended after Wagner fighters were promised amnesty in neighbouring Belarus.

  5. Who could have predicted this, but this bastard got his much deserved end. Not for going up against Putler, but for the sadistic war crimes against Ukrainians.

  6. ‘Contract was out on Prigozhin for weeks’
    DT : “A contract may have been out on Yevgeny Prigozhin for some weeks, according to a former British intelligence officer.

    Christopher Steele told Sky News: “We heard some weeks ago from a source that a contract had been put out on Prigozhin in Russia by senior members of the business community.”

    He suggested that Vladimir Putin may not have authorised the assassination himself, addingL “It certainly looks as though it may well be a revenge attack by somebody in the elite.”

    “Wagner has apparently made this statement, grab your 🍿
    “There are rumours about the death of the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin. We directly say that we suspect the Kremlin officials led by Putin of an attempt to kill him!
    If the information about Prigozhin’s death is confirmed, we will organize a second “March of Justice” on Moscow!
    He’d better be alive, it’s in your own interests….”

  15. What times are these, when one feels almost sorry for a mass murderer, just because he hadn’t been as unscrupulous and totally evil as Putler himself. Rest in hell, Prigozhin.
