There is a strong possibility that Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was on board a private plane that went down in the Tver region, which is located north of Moscow. There are reports that all 10 people have been killed, although the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin has not been confirmed. It would “not be a surprise” if Vladimir Putin was responsible for the disaster, according to a former special adviser to the United States army who spoke with Sky News.
There is a lack of clarity regarding what led to the accident.
“We should not forget that the disappearance or the removal of some of Putin’s enemies over the years have been linked to suspect aircraft crashes,” Mark Voyager stated, citing the death of General Lebed as an example. “We should not forget that the disappearance or the removal of some of Putin’s enemies over the years have been linked to suspicious aircraft crashes.”
In 2002, the governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai, General Lebed, was killed in a Mi-8 helicopter accident in the Sayan Mountains. A member of the Russian parliament stated at the time that sabotage may have caused the accident.
“He was running for president at the time, and he was criticising the Chechen War that Putin had started,” Mark Voyager explained, adding that “it would not be surprising if Putin chose a method that allows plausible denial” to eliminate one of his enemies.
People should keep an eye on how rapidly Russia attempts to seize control of Prigozhin’s military empire and financial assets, according to the former US official.
“We’ll know how much the Kremlin and the Putin regime knew and how prepared they were based on their subsequent actions,” he said.

Late in June, Prigozhin led a brief rebellion against the Russian military leadership. The Kremlin then announced that he and some of his combatants would be exiled to Belarus. Since then, however, the mercenary leader has reportedly been spotted in Russia.
