Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, has addressed concerns about his safety prior to the tragic plane crash. In a video released by a Telegram channel affiliated with the mercenary leader, Prigozhin assures that he is alive and well, countering speculations. The video was reportedly filmed a few days before the crash on August 23, in which Prigozhin and nine others lost their lives near Moscow. US and British authorities suspect that Russian President Vladimir Putin orchestrated the deliberate killing as revenge for Prigozhin’s brief rebellion against the military leadership in June. Russia denies these allegations. The plane crash incident occurred exactly two months after the rebellion took place.
The Grey Zone, a Wagner-associated channel, released the video suggesting that the Russian military shot down Prigozhin’s plane. However, no evidence was provided to support this claim. The video of Prigozhin was recorded in a moving vehicle and is believed to have been filmed in mid-August, possibly on August 19 or 20. Prigozhin, speaking in the video, states that he is in Africa during the second half of August 2023. He dismisses discussions about his well-being and personal life, reassuring that everything is fine. In the video, Prigozhin is seen wearing a camouflage top and hat, matching the attire he wore in another video released on August 21, where he also claimed to be in Africa. (Prigozhin’s funeral took place on Tuesday.)
