The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, Prigozin, died in a plane crash and was buried near St. Petersburg following a private funeral. On the 31st, a video of Prigozin’s speech, which no one had seen before, appeared on the Internet. It may be to stimulate speculation from the outside world.
Fox News and the Guardian reported that the undated video, released by Gray Zone, a social media channel with close ties to Wagner, shows Prigogin’s car moving as he expresses his disapproval of the incident. Speaking into the camera, he talked regarding people guessing that he was dead.
According to a translation by the independent Moscow Times, Prigozin said, “To anyone discussing whether I am alive, and how I am doing… It is a weekend in late August 2023 and I am in Africa. To those who talk regarding my reckoning, my private life, my income or everything else, strictly speaking, everything is going well.”
According to reports, in this new video, Prigozin is wearing the same camouflage uniform as the tactical outfit in the video released on the 21st, which is between the aborted mutiny and the reported death, which is the Wagner Group During the event, conversations revealed that he was aware that his life was in danger.
Prigozin claimed that the video released on the 21st was shot in Africa, and judging from the date mentioned in the latest video, the film must have been shot on the 19th or 20th. “Grey Zone” strategically timed the release of the images, possibly with the goal of stoking speculation that he is still alive.
There have been rumors that Prigozin’s death may have been planned since the plane he was on board with several top Wagner group dignitaries crashed on Monday. And because Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government is the sole investigator of the crash, the international community has had little opportunity to examine evidence at the crash site. But the new images released by “Grey Zone” on the 31st also did not provide any conclusive evidence to refute the official statement that Priggin died in the plane explosion.
