"Russian Wagner Group Chief Prigozhin Among Dead in Plane Crash, Raising Questions of Kremlin Involvement"

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of Russian mercenary group Wagner, was on board a private plane that crashed northwest of Moscow, killing all on board. Prigozhin, who staged a mutiny against Russia's military leadership in June, was known for his involvement in capturing Ukrainian cities during Russia's invasion. The crash is under investigation, and there are suggestions that Russian President Vladimir Putin may have been involved. The incident comes months after Prigozhin's rebellion was abruptly called off in a deal that required him and his fighters to relocate to Belarus.
