Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia, with nine other people on board also dead
The moment he turned around his march to Moscow, this became inevitable.
Yeah, I am honestly surprised it took this long. I thought it would have happened sooner.
Now, I suppose we wait to see if there is a response from the rest of Wagner…
Does Wagner even practically exist anymore? I thought they’d been integrated into the wider Russian military after the rebellion.
Not sure - they are/were mercenaries, after all.
Here is a Twitter link to what is supposedly his plane falling out of the sky:
