A video of the event has been surfacing on the internet. In the video, Putin can be seen attending the event. He is unfazed by the news of Prigozhin’s death. Yevgeny Prigozhin was the head of the Wagner group. Allegedly, he was a passenger on a plane that tragically crashed. According to Russia’s civil aviation authorities, it killed everyone on board. The grey zone confirmed Prigozhin’s death later on Wednesday. They also claimed that the activities were by someone betraying Russia.
Prigozhin was a close associate of Putin and was also known as “Putin’s chef.” This was because of his business that served the Kremlin. Several users took to their X accounts and reacted to the surfaced clip. One user said, “Made the walk of victory. Nullified the opponent and celebrated. Big boss move.” Furthermore, another user penned, “Busy day in office for Putin. But he doesn’t look tired.”
Who Was Yevgeny Prigozhin?
Prigozhin was popularly known as Putin’s chef. He was the head of the Wagner Group. Moreover, he was a passenger on the plane that tragically crashed and killed everyone on board.
Further, the plane crashed in Kuzhenkio, in the Tver area, around 60 miles north of Moscow. However, media sources indicate that Prigozhin had a connection with the business jet. It is not confirmed yet if he had boarded the jet. But the flight monitoring information showed that on Wednesday night, a private aircraft had been used by Prigozhin. The aircraft had connections to Wagner and had departed from Moscow. In a matter of minutes, the aircraft’s transponder signal vanished. There were no nearby airfields to ensure the safe landing of the flight.
Putin’s attendance at the event was overshadowed by Prigozhin’s death. It also raised questions about the future of the Wagner mercenary group and its role in the conflicts with Ukraine.
