minus-square Durotar ( @Durotar@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilink168•edit-21 year agoHis plane has crashed and he’s on the passenger list, but it’s not proven yet that he was on the plane. He’s the person, who faked his death in the past.
minus-square masterspace ( @masterspace@lemmy.ca ) linkfedilinkEnglish44•edit-21 year agoIt seems like oddly coincidental timing that Russia also officially relieved Surovikin as head of the airforce today (he still hasn’t been seen since the mutiny): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/23/russia-removes-sergei-surovikin-as-head-of-aerospace-forces Not saying he’s definitely dead, but I doubt this is him faking his own death so much as him slipping an assassination attempt if he’s alive.
minus-square Gork ( @Gork@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink21•1 year agoAh yes. The general who the Kremlin said was “resting.” Nothing ominous about that.
minus-square awwwyissss ( @awwwyissss@lemm.ee ) linkfedilink7•1 year agoAgreed, coordinated take down of Prigozhin and his allies.
