![Wagner Group Leader Assumed Dead in Plane Crash](https://sundevilscoop.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/download-5.jpeg)
Just recently Wagner group leader, , was presumed dead in a plane crash. Prigozhin, who had recently attempted to march on Moscow, could be dead. Many believe this is Putin’s warning to all about what happens if you betray him. His plane was shot down on August, 23rd 2023, in Moscow, Russia. Even though it was never proven, many believe this was the work of Vladimir Putin. Even as much as he denies it, many will never believe him.
As you are reading this you might wonder, who are the Wagner group? The Wagner group is a group of terrorists formed by Yevgeny Prigozhin in 2014. Their first field commander, and most trusted ally to Prigozhin is Dmitry Utkin. They had been doing much work in Ukraine and other countries. Technically mercenary forces in Russia, not in the military, are illegal but that does not stop them. They have been active in Belarus, Libya, and also in Syria helping Communist governments.
As evil as it is for Putin to do this, many here in the States and in the Ukraine are not sad to see Prigozhin gone. This is because he was still a former friend of Putin. He also killed many in Ukraine too. He is well known for saying he was going to march on Moscow, but never going through with it. Many suspect it is because Putin threatened his family that he did not march. But it still got him on Putin’s bad side.
Although many confirmed he is dead, there have been many rumors that he escaped or that he was not on the plane.
“I mean you never know,” says one BBC reporter, “anything could have happened.” Many are starting to believe these rumors, because one of Prigozhin’s business owned planes had gotten safely into a Russian airport just moments later. What really happened is still a mystery for most of us.
Both the UK, and the United States have said that they are a terrorist group, but people don’t know if they will do anything about it. It is still for certain that reporters will keep working on this story, and we will provide more information as it comes.
Putin still does not have much to say about the situation, although he has tried to make it look like he was not the bad guy. He acted as though it was a sad occurrence for him. He did come out to where the plane crash happened, but that’s about it. To summarize, it just shows how much damage Putin can do when people betray him.
