The Mysterious Death of Wagner Leader Prigozhin: Kremlin's Admission Raises Questions
The Kremlin has acknowledged that the plane crash that killed Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin may have been a "deliberate atrocity," according to a spokesperson. Different versions of the incident are being considered, including foul play, but an international investigation is unlikely. The crash involved an Embraer jet, and if invited, Brazil's Center for Research and Prevention of Aeronautical Accident will join the Russian-led investigation. U.S. and Western officials suspect the crash was an assassination plot orchestrated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Russian officials deny involvement. Prigozhin was a former Putin ally who later led a failed mutiny and criticized Russian military leadership.
