Russian mercenary boss who challenged Putin’s administration presumed dead in plane crash

Vladimir Putin and  Yevgeny Prigozhin

According to the BBC, Wagner mercenary group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin who earlier this year marched on Moscow to protest the Russian handling of the war in Ukraine, is currently presumed dead after a plane crash in which he was listed as one of the passengers.

The Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone had reported in an earlier post that the private plane, which belonged to the 62-year-old, was shot down by air defences.

Grey Zone also posted later on Wednesday that Prigozhin died “as a result of actions of traitors of Russia”.

    I suspect the rogue general was pushing up daisies immediately after his failed march on Moscow. The recent plane crash story is just Putin’s way of making his demise palatable.

    Putin did it the hard way he usually has people that cross him accidentally jump out a 10 story building window by themselves or accidentally drink poison.

    That’s what happens happens when they tangle with dictators; I don’t think anybody will mourn for him considering he is a criminal, a murderer who murdered plenty of people in Ukraine, and all over the African continent.

    There is a little dictator in Dominica, who claimed to have the most diplomatic relations (and that’s according to Francine Baron) with the most nations on the planet.

    You know I hope that Dominica dictator does not get too large for his bridges, and try to force his square pegs into round holes with Putin, and lie to him, or betray him in anyway, because if he does that one day he will leave Dominica and never return, perhaps his color will change to green; when and if ever found!

      Zelensky murdered just as many in the DONBASS, if not more. Have you heard of the Donbass?? Sure you haven’t.
      America and NATO murdered more in Lybia and Iraq well.

        But me, if I said he murdered plenty of people in Ukraine I must be talking about Donbass too, since Donbas the “coalfiled” is located in the Southeastern part of Ukraine, where a very small part of it extends into Rostov oblast region.

        Well, it came close to my residence in the Inland Empire; but by the it made landfall in that part of Mexico less than a hundred miles from my Inland Empire home, I had long fled out of here to my home in Los Angeles, boy!

        So, it rain, a bit out here, with a little wind which blew some of my apples off the lone apple tree I possess.

        It rain plenty in Palm Springs, about 40 miles North East from my Inland Empire house, the water did some damage there, and up around the San Bernardino residential areas, in the mountains; and in the city too!

        By then I ran like a chicken to go hide in me house in Los Angeles you see!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

        I fraid hurricane as much as I farid earthquake, a 5.1 also shook!

        If you remember Sparrow’s Calypso, Janette blow-way the whole of Miami, I was a toddler still in diapers, or walking without trousers, when that hit the entire Caribbean; but I remember that hurricane since then I am terrified of them.

    Sounds like the work of Puttin. But that’s what you expect when you are a critique of the likes of Puttin, Trump and Skerrit. It might not happen right away but know ur days are numbered . They always feel they have to remain in power to try to cover up their dirty work and save them from jail

      It’s a huge insult and embarrassment to put Putin in the same seat as Skerrit. There is absolutely no comparism!! Only in Dominica you can write this type of insult about president Putin. In many African, Central American, Asian countries, in China and india as well where Putin is idolized, you would be in serious trouble for you indiscretion.President Putin is the greatest world leader of our times, most popular and loved too.

        Meme, I agree. The West has manipulated our minds so much that we can’t see the bigger picture and can’t think for ourselves. Who brutalised, colonised, dictated and gave us their way of life? The idea of colonisation, racism, imperialism, etc., are what we know and all is as a result of the Western world. Even some African leaders are seeing the Western nations for who they are. Look at Macron, do you think he wants to leave Niger? The resources of Africa have benefitted them and they will not give up without a fight. The US has military bases in South Africa and Julius Malema wants them out. Which African country has military bases in the Western world? My people, don’t accuse Putin unless you have proof. Be critical thinkers and stop believing what the West throws at you.

            It’s sad that our people depend on America for International news but what they may not be aware of is that America will tell you what they want you to hear. They are not about the truth and will always demonise Russia, China, Cuba. When Fidel did not let them intefere in Cuba’s affairs, what did they do? There was an embargo gainst Cuba for about 60 plus years. They pretend to help countries but they set up their puppet government in these countries and also their military bases. Remember when missionaries were sent to various countries around the world? That was to further christianise us as a people because African Spirituality was demonised. They still have us looking up to the sky, looking for a white jesus to take us to heaven. How could a people who enslaved our fore- fathers turn around and save us Save us from what?
            America is on it’s way down and they can’t come against China and Russia because they will be crushed.

            Intelligent conversation you two are having, I’m still learning about the bad countries that praise themselves in media as good people, giving us our own resource$ as “AID” to pull/stop it when you ask for more for your people, the owners. They French, U.S, U.K, Canada, Germany etc.. even count African resources as “their” wealth. Max respect for the research.

        Shut up, MEME, your should be ashamed of yourself to try and insult the intelligence of those of us reading and blogging o DNO.

        You are an embarrassment to yourself; and that is why people like you must remain under cover, using fake names so no can identigy the one who speaks such nonsense.

        Putin is a hated man internationally; prove to me this idiot here: I am declaring myself to be an idiot!

        Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

        Ah, dumb, but produce a comment extracted from any leader from any place on earth, in a news paper, where you find them parsing, or associating themselves with Vladimir Putin.

        I challenge you; to support your rubbish with documented proof!

          Answer: The island with the most uneducated prime minister ever in the Western Hemisphere “Dominica.”

          I think dem say him name Roosevelt Skerrit the corrupted god!

      Yeah you are comparing Skerrit to Putin now. Shows how twisted your thinking is.MEME seem to be way ahead of you all, in how he thinks. Could be that he is more broad minded or researches more.

    And you feel good insulting people for their opinions?..I’m guessing it “gets you off”?..
    And..@ Admin..I think you might need to tweak your moderation process..it definitely speaks about censoring personal attacks..and I don’t see how these insults can be considered as anything else.

    ADMIN: Thank you for pointing that out.

    We want to maintain a balance between the principle of free speech and appropriate content moderation. We will continue to moderate based on our comment policy while also considering feedback.

    However, if we strictly removed all insults we would be censoring roughly 90% of all total comments.

    Speaking in very broad terms, we will favour free speech over censorship.

    If the news is TRUTHFUL, (it nay not be), it would take a real FOOL to believe that Prighozin’s fate was not sealed the very fateful Saturday, (24-06-23), he committed his TREASONOUS act. He was obviously a dead man walking! The punishment for treason is DEATH!!
    Here is an excerpt of an interview with the world’s greatest and most loved leader President Putin:
    Interviewer to Putin: Are you able to forgive?
    President Putin: Yes, but not everything.
    Interviewer: What would you never forgive?
    President Putin: Betrayal.
    Prighozin’s high level of arrogance brought about his downfall. After betraying the Russian state by committing TREASON, he violated his parole. He had to completely leave the Russin state. He was exiled to Belaurus, what the hell was he doing in Russia?
