Yevgeny Prigozhin: Wagner leader presumed dead after plane crash - BBC News

Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a failed mutiny against Vladimir Putin, was on a plane that crashed in western Russia, officials have said.

Authorities said all 10 people on board were killed after the private aircraft came down near the village of Kuzhenkino.

Russian authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, amid heavy speculation.

Accidents seem to happen quite a lot, when you disagree with Putin.

It wasn't a plane crash. It was a "special military landing".

Man he didn’t just fall from a top floor window, He FELL from 30, 000 feet … Russia stepping up its game

“Wow, what a surprise! Who could have seen this coming?” Said no-one, ever.

Its not a assassination its a special plane landing operation! (Obviously I feel awful for the innocent lives that were lost during this crash but wagner had it coming putin won't let anyone who threatens his power live)

My heart goes out to the plane. Really sad to see it go down.

Can’t imagine the pilot face when he saw Yevgeny boarding plane
Rip pilot & crew

Makes a nice change from ‘accidentally’ falling out an apartment window. Too bad for everyone else on the plane.

Rest In Pieces.
Such a bad luck, he managed living 62 years, and that accident occurred just fews weeks after defying Poo'tin.

That's just a normal RyanAir landing

I watched an interview on a US network with Timothy Snyder about this and his comment was that it’s ‘one facist killing another’.

[Harrisonsinternalmed]

People are not thinking about the civilian crew of the plane, what did they do to get shot down and get killed?

[scottymackay]

Just a humble chef with a side hustle. RIP.

“British government monitoring the situation closely” means
We are all paying a government official on a big salary to watch the telly, so that Sunak doesn’t get caught out looking stupid in front of a camera if there is another development.

I feel sorry for everyone else on the plane that wasnt a target

[Dungshoveleux]

He was on the passenger manifest of the crashed plane (one of two planes). Until DNA or visual evidence appears, it is very premature to say he was on the plane that crashed.

[Cornwall]

Plane crashes are rare, especially ones that begin when the plane is at cruising altitude that’s the safest part, poor prigo 😂

[maniacsurfer]

Surprised he lasted this long, expected a fall but from a hotel window🤷‍♂️

[ZeoNeXus]

Pootin: How would you like to die?

A. Accidentally drinking a poisoned tea
B. Mysteriously falling from a top floor window
C. Unintentional plane crash

[benfry]

He did last longer than I thought. The plane just fell out of the air!
