O/T Prigozhin killed in Russia

Wed Aug 23, 2023 5:54 pm

Ten people have been killed in a private jet crash north of Moscow - with the Russian Civil Aviation Authority saying Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list.

Seven passengers and three crew were on board the Embraer aircraft, which was en route from Moscow to St Petersburg, TASS news agency reported.

The jet crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino Tver region, 60 miles north of Moscow, according to Russia's emergency situations ministry.

Multiple videos circulating on social media appear to show the jet crashing.

Prigozhin led a short-lived mutiny against Russia's top military brass in June, and was described at the time by Vladimir Putin as a "traitor".

The rebellion ended when Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stepped in to broker a deal - which saw Prigozhin agreeing to relocate to neighbouring Belarus.

Prigozhin was last seen in a video on Monday that appeared to have been shot in Africa, where he spoke about making the continent "free".

The 62-year-old Wagner Group boss released footage of himself speaking while wearing camouflage and holding a rifle.

The only surprise here is that it took as long as it did. Obviously the Russians will deny they had anything to do with it.

There do seem to be a lot of "accidents" that happen to Russians who speak or act against Putin that lead to their death.

Not surprised at all, the Russians themselves are just wondering why it took so long. We should do the same to Tony Blair.
