How utterly shocking.

MxM111 ,

I personally wanted continuation of the spectacle and eventual Prigozhin’s visit to Hague.

OldWoodFrame , to news in Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin 'on board' crashed Russian plane

So if I’m the next coup leader I’m absolutely never stopping. If you start the coup either you or Putin will die.

Short term solves some problems, long term risky.

Am I the only one that thinks he staged his own death?

No, I think it's an oddly corpse-less death too.

I am absolutely shocked. Who could have possibly seen this coming?!

Feels like Putin's lost a step, this should have been a much more interesting / inexplicable death; crushed by a herd of elephants or some such.

Independent journalist Andrei Zakharov, citing an unnamed source, said Prigozhin on Wednesday was returning to Russia from a trip in Africa, where Wagner mercenaries have operated for years and where Prigozhin was recently filmed for a recruitment video.

“It would be a miracle if he’s on another plane,” the source said.>

Feared in the sense that we don't know. All this new information is coming from Russian State Media. Which is the equivalent of being informed of climate change on Fox News.

Even more bizarre, he was seen in Africa seemingly advertising his unit for the conflict developing in the region.

So how did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The place he had to negotiate to flee from only 2 months ago?

Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner's private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.

The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.

It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.

However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As of now 7 10 bodies have been found.

However, just day's earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if "announcing their services" to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn't safe?!

Edit:
2:24pm
Wagner's media is also claiming they both died.

OldWoodFrame ,

He has been flying around Russia quite a bit since the coup, clearly he thought he was safe.

Astroturfed , to world in Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia

I am SHOCKED. This is such weird timing. Shortly after staging a revolt against their fearless leader that made him look weak. I’m sure that is completely unrelated.

Two months to the day after the coup attempt. His number was up the second he stopped advancing on Moscow.

LoneNumeral9 ,

Yeah, it’s definitely suspicious how this plane crash happened just two months after the coup attempt. It seems like someone wanted to silence him for good. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to this story than meets the eye.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.world avatar

There is …

“Christopher Steele - former head of the Russia desk at Britain’s foreign intelligence agency (MI6) - says it’s “inevitable” that this would be Prigozhin’s ending.”

“We were told some weeks ago, in fact, that there had been a contract taken out on Prigozhin inside Russia by senior people in the business community.”

from the link at the top of this toot.

paddirn ,

That’s kind of concerning, since it seems to suggest that business leaders in Russia support Putin and weren’t aiming for a coup of their own, unless Prigozhin was somehow a threat to whatever coup they might be planning (if it was being planned at all). Granted, “senior people in the business community” are probably all Putin cronies anyways.

Treczoks ,

Nothing of that kind of thing happens in Russia without Putin being behind it.

@elouboub@kbin.social avatar

Relatively quick retribution, no? Will this have any effect though besides confirming that if you cross Putin, you die?

Hyperreality ,

Wagner allied channels are talking of another march on Moscow.

But without a unifying leader? Who knows?

@elouboub@kbin.social avatar

Now that would be interesting. If they started and actually completed the march.
