Reported crash of Yevgeny Prigozhin's plane raises questions about his fate

Russian state media reported that a private jet, belonging to Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner paramilitary group, crashed in the Taver region near Moscow. The jet had 10 people on board, including Prigozhin, according to the passenger list. While it is not confirmed if Prigozhin was on the plane, the crash raises questions about his fate and potential implications for Russian military operations in Ukraine. Prigozhin has been a prominent figure in the Russian military and had significant influence within the Wagner group. This incident comes two months after his failed attempt to overthrow Russian President Vladimir Putin. If confirmed, it could signify the end of a potential rival for Putin and further consolidation of his control.
