Russian President Vladimir Putin was captured on video attending a concert in Kursk while news of the possible plane crash death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, emerged. The concert was held to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in the Battle of Kursk against Nazi Germany. Putin addressed the crowd and expressed gratitude to Russian fighters involved in the country’s conflict with Ukraine. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Prigozhin was among the passengers on a plane that crashed in Tver. Russian authorities are investigating the incident, and eight bodies have reportedly been found at the crash site. Although the reports have not been confirmed, the White House stated that President Biden has been briefed on the matter. Prigozhin’s potential death follows his involvement in an unsuccessful rebellion against Moscow’s military leadership and subsequent exile to Belarus. The Biden administration had warned that he could still be targeted by Moscow.
