"Unveiling Wagner Chief Prigozhin's Controversial Video Before Tragic Plane Crash"

A newly surfaced video shows Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, joking about his own death just days before he died in a plane crash near Moscow. The footage, purportedly filmed in Africa, was shared on social media. Prigozhin's reference to a weekend in the second half of August suggests the video was likely filmed around August 19 or 20. The cause of the crash is still unknown, but speculation suggests it may have been intentional revenge by Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Wagner Group's armed rebellion against Moscow's military leadership. Western officials predicted that Putin may seek revenge for Prigozhin's betrayal, as he is suspected of having killed adversaries in the past.
