Wagner Group mercenary cries at shrine for Yevgeny Prigozhin
The leader of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, met a tragic end as his private jet crashed in a fiery spectacle on Wednesday evening (August 23), resulting in the loss of all 10 lives on board.
The incident has raised suspicions of foul play, with sources suggesting that a potential bomb concealed within “a wine crate” could have been the cause of the catastrophic crash.
Witnesses claim that moments before takeoff, a crate of “expensive wine” was loaded onto the plane.
This has led to theories that the crash could be a result of revenge for a failed military uprising led by Prigozhin’s group, the Wagner Group.
Members of the Wagner Group have issued a chilling warning to the Kremlin following their leader’s death, hinting at possible retaliation.

Wagner officials wrote on Telegram: “There are rumours about the death of the head of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin.
“We directly say that we suspect the Kremlin officials led by Putin of an attempt to kill him.
“If the information about Prigozhin’s death is confirmed, we will organise a second ‘March of Justice’ on Moscow! He’d better be alive, it’s in your own interests….”

The deadly crash happened eight weeks after a government-sponsored military group’s attempt to overthrow Russian leader Vladimir Putin, predominantly comprised of ex-convicts, which ultimately ended in failure.
On June 23, a large group of rebel soldiers moved toward Moscow after a tense period.
The Kremlin said about 4,000 Wagner members were part of the uprising, while rebel Prigozhin claimed there were 25,000.
However, the coup ended after just 24 hours with an apparent agreement between the two sides. Prigozhin was then ‘exiled’ to Belarus, and his exact whereabouts have been a mystery since, as he apparently travelled between Belarus, Russia and Wagner strongholds in Africa.
