The private plane traveling from Moscow to St Petersburg crashed in the Tver region of Russia. Ten people on board died, including three crew members, but above all the head of the Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin. According to the first rumors, the jet would have been shot down by the Russians two months after the coup attempt by Wagner’s boss, defined by Putin as a “stab in the back”.
Attention. Russian sources claim that an aircraft belonging to Yevgeny #prigozhin would have been shot down in Russia. It is unclear if the leader of the Wagner Group was on board.
