By Wagner Boss Yevgeny Prigozhin Presumed Dead After Russia Plane Crash
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin who recently has shown support to African coup leaders, was alleged to have been on the passenger list of a Jet that crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.
In June 2023, the Wegner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces.
The crash comes on the same day that senior Russian general Sergei Surovikin was reportedly sacked as air force chief.
Gen Surovikin was known to have good relations with Prigozhin and had not been seen in public since the mutiny.
The aircraft was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, with seven passengers and three crew.
A few weeks ago, the Wegner boss in a recent video said he is in Africa “making Russia even greater on all continents, and Africa even freer,” in a video circulating on pro-Russian military blogs. Upon hearing this, most of the African coup leaders’ morale got higher with hopes of foreign support. Could this be the end of these African coup leaders’ dream?
