Moscow – Yevginy Prigoshin, the head of Russia’s private military group Wagner Group, has reportedly been killed in a plane crash. It is reported that all ten people in the crashed plane were killed. Among the passengers was Prigosh.
At the same time, the jet they were traveling in was shot down by the Russian Air Defense Forces in the Tver region north of Moscow, the Wagner Group-affiliated Telegram channel Gray Zone reported. No further information has been released.
The Wagner Group was a frontline fighter in the war against Ukraine. Meanwhile Prigoshin attempted a military coup in Russia. It was a slap in the face to Vladimir Putin, who has been in power for 23 years as president and prime minister, when the private army Wagner Group turned against his own country. After reaching 200 km from the capital Moscow, the insurgents retreated as a result of settlement negotiations.
