Vladimir Putin and\u00a0 Yevgeny Prigozhin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the BBC, Wagner mercenary group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin<\/b> who earlier this year marched on Moscow<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Grey Zone also posted later on Wednesday that Prigozhin died “as a result of actions of traitors of Russia”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
