His plane has crashed and he's on the passenger list, but it's not proven yet that he was on the plane. He's the person, who faked his death in the past.

Impressive Russia was able to push an entire plane out of a high rise window.

Hexbear and default lemmy libs coming together to laugh at prigozhin getting merced is so goddamn funny lmao.

Literally the no more brother wars meme

No more half measures, Vladmir

Never get on board a helicopter, and never go on board a plane if you just pissed off a guy famous for offing his political enemies. Come on guy, that's politics 101.

I've never seen tankies and libs ever so united in celebration.

If someone tells you they're not going to kill you, they're calming you down to kill you later

should've remembered this simple rule

Guess you could say the plane was denazified.

I'm gonna sound like a fringe conspiracy theorist here, but you guys,,, What if this was no random accident? What if someone intentionally made the plane crash? But who? And why?

honestly how could you be stupid enough to get on plane w/ that guy? this was the single most predictable event of the entire conflict.

Wait, am I reading this right that the plane was shot down by russian air defence? If this is backed up at all by anything like a russian source, then this will just further enforce option that russia can not be trusted to do anything it says and that putin is weak and threatened (both are true but I thought the kremlin would at least try to say/show otherwise).

How does russia keep messing up this bad? I am constantly shocked and awed.

"Plane crash" lol

They literally blew his nazi loving ass out of the sky.

I am shocked I tell you. Who could have predicted such an accident

rest in piss ye won't be missed

never get in a helicopter (or other small aircraft)

My bad guys, first day on the anti-aircraft guns

2 months ago:

In exchange, he gets to not be dead for a while.

Prigozhin should probably be careful touching doorknobs for a while regardless.

Does it count as calling it if I got the method of assassination wrong?

Seems like Putin may have held a grudge after all.

tiny dancer playing softly in the background . . .

He just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You are telling me now for the first time. He led an amazing life. What else can you say. Whether you agreed or not, he was an amazing man who led an amazing life. I am actually sad to hear that. I am sad to hear that.

Was only a matter of time…

What a disappointing guy. The least he could have done was take out Putin before he died.

lmao, you know he had to do it to him

He's leading a Special Military Operation in the afterlife now.

I'm fully expecting Russian media to explain how those evil Ukranians sneaked a missile battery or a fighter jet into Moscow airspace and shot down a plane that just happened to contained Putin's mortal enemies.

Never discount that a deal was reached and this was their way or his way of going in retirement with a new identity - faked death.

Putin got tired of getting outranked by Prigo in the Chad-Cuck power ranking.

owned lol

When it’s hard to toss a man out of a window. Or shoot or poison him. Just down his plane. Easy.

I'm shocked they waited so long. RIPpin' this vape because you're dead lol

I'm loving all the tankie tears in here. They don't know who to support. LOL. I love how ruZZia is slowly eating its own tail and destroying itself, just typical of a fascist state. Slava Ukraini! Slava NATO!

Sometimes in life, you just gotta go wherever your heart takes you, no matter how many people try to tell you it's a bad idea, and even if it doesn't make sense - especially when it doesn't make sense!

This was not one of those times.

Guy actually thought he was going to skate.

Wow. I Didn't Know That. You're Telling Me Now for the First Time

Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner's private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.

The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.

It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.

However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

As of now 7 10 bodies have been found.

However, just day's earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if "announcing their services" to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn't safe?!

Edit:
2:24pm
Wagner's media is also claiming they both died.

Yo, they fucking Lin Bioa'd him for real

Mr. Putin, meet Lieutenant Columbo, from the LAPD. He'd like to have a few words with you Sir. Just a few questions about this tragic accident involving an acquaintance of yours, a Mr. Prigozhin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyfywQ98dIU

Do I have to point out that this title is misleading? Don't get me wrong, I'd be glad if it were true... one less child killer roaming the world but if you read the article it hasn't been confirmed by western sources he was on that plane.

But did the plane have windows?

I'm surprised it took this long

Ah yeah the guy who opposed Putin

Yeah surprise he's dead

At the same time, Grey Zone reported that a second business jet owned by Prigozhin had landed safely in the Moscow region.

Perhaps not gone.

However from memory they shot down some air force stuff on their way up during the mini mutiny, so I could see the Russian Air Force having it out for him.

I won't shed a tear for Prigozhin and his gang but I haven't heard a single person speak about the uninvolved crew members of the plane who also got killed with this.. poor souls

People seem awfully quick to accept the narrative - it seems to me this would be the easiest way for him to disappear on his own terms.

Special crashing plane operation.

Dr Prigo, I'm FSB

The article doesn't mention which agency is responsible for the murder of 10 people and what are the expected sentences for the murder

That is a conventient "accident"!

That's a bit more dramatic than polonium. He was going to get got sooner or later after his tantrum/half-baked putsch.

Looks like we found what the next step of Putin’s master plan was

Warner Bros. or Wagner boss?

Denazification is going well.

I've been following this on Russian- and English-language sites. Nobody but BBC alleged Russian responsibility, and they cited no evidence. Remember when Boris Johnson personally tanked peace negotiations?

Whirlwind situation, for sure. Who'd be filling his position?

I always read it as Warner Bros...

Good riddance, though a plane crash seems like a relatively easy way to "kill" someone while they go into hiding.

Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone

Is this related to The Grey Zone?

"oops"

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia, with nine other people on board also dead

I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't on that plane. Doubt that the guy was so stupid as to fly inside Russia openly.

Rip to the goat

It'll be interesting to see if the Wagner Group will now fall in line or if Putin just poked a hornet's nest.

What's fucking hilarious is that I called this as soon as he backed down. On the former place, lots of people talking about how confusing it all was and I'm like nah he's gonna die in an "unfortunate" plane crash.

Hopefully the same thing happens to Putin next.

I can't help but think his death was staged as a putinite psyop.

This was expected to happen the moment he backed down.

Based on witness testimony, when he arrived to wreckage, found people were moving bodies from wreckage, sounds like someone wanted visual confirmation.

Oopsie.

Based

putin is still at large. Any chance we can you know 😜...tall building? Maybe 🤔 special taco sauce in his milk tonight? Or an ice bullet? You know, anything would be acceptable. Like if you just accidentally run him over with your Ford Fiesta and then a steam roller just happened to finish the job, that would still be pretty acceptable.

Such a sad coincidence

I wonder what sort of brute will replace him.

What took him so long?

Well, who would expect that something bad happens to him....

Good riddance to rotten garbage!

not suprising

RIP Prigochad! 😰🥀

Man, I can't help myself comparing this to the opening of The Dark Knight Rises (that one guy injected Dr. Pavel's blood/DNA, and then sacrifices himself).

Icarus

Sorry for the xitty link:

There is as yet no evidence that the plane was shot down by a Ukrainian drone built in a cave out of scrap.
