A private plane has crashed in Moscow’s Tver region, killing all 10 people on board.
Russia news agency TASS reports that Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was among those on board.
“A private Embraer Legacy aircraft travelling from Moscow to Saint Petersburg crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino in the Tver Region. There were 10 people on board, including 3 crew members. According to preliminary information, all those on board died,” the ministry for emergency situation said on Telegram.
Daniel Hawkins, a journalist in Moscow, told Al Jazeera that “reports in the Russian media, unconfirmed so far, are saying this aircraft could have been taken down by air defence systems”.

I love you Russia and Putin
Prigozhin wanted to start WW3 and was killed. He could not do it in Ukraine and wanted to do it in Africa. If he had reached Africa, he would have had no constraints from anybody to do what he wanted. Putin just saved the world from WW3, again.
fix audio please. right channel is muted
Anyone who touches Russia will die
To all those dancing and cheering around here – I hope karma hits you pretty soon.
Wow….Putin killed him
Why would he get on a plane?; if he knows that Putin wants him dead. He’s dealing with a bunch of back stabbers.
What’s the moral of the story children? 😌💅🏼
Or he has faked his death?
I thought he would be poisoned with radioactive metals.
Why are the journalists and the host saying killed? This is some sort of propaganda being brewed isn’t it? Why not say died or lost their lives?
Russia careless about precision and huge numbers of collateral damage.
Surprise he survived for this long
Putin is next
Good for Russia that Prighozin was eliminated , Prighozin is too dangrous for Russia as acountry if he is alive he might betray his own country to the US and the West then exploit Russian natural resources specially oil and gas , that is the main reason on why the west hated Putin .
The second plane turned around due what appears to surface to air missle on the first plane..If Prigozhin is on the second plane Putin maybe in trouble…
Another story for the west . Wagner boss is not going anywhere
Pravda ruZZia
_Wether you like it or not, we have to admit that Putin is so smart. He let his enemies live longer than everyone expected in order to find the traitors inside his circle._
I have a bridge to sell you
Dead or alive, Progozhin is/was Putin’s enemy. Better than poisening???
✝️🙏🏻
I’m surprised that it was a plane crash instead of poison
Yeah hes “dead” Russia really toying with msm
He killed innocent people for his business and profit and this how he will pay for their death, Karma
My shocked face after the news 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ukraine is behind this, Russia must avenge prighozin death.
Kremlin’s new vacancy : experienced shef 🤣🤣
Or!, It’s all ANOTHER LIE AND HE HAS GONE INTO hiding.
Sources are reporting it was his body double that was aboard the plane. This gives him the ability to fade to black.
Define “sources.”
He was in blacklist
I think Prigoshin’s habits were against her country and duty because Prigoshin’s death is a shocker
Ukrainian forces shld focus on their strategies, leave no breathing room to shorten the war.
prigozhin is alive he is sleeping putin and prigozhin is a true friend… putin need prigozhin
Glad to see your dreams shatter…
🔱. Is it.? You Clowns just love GOSIPS.?
As long can talk, talk as you like.? 🌎.
Death has happened & all senarios you have decided.? 😂😂😂. CLOWNS.💯
R.I.P
Prigozhin’s adrenaline levels in bakhmut made him crazy to think that he could take on the Kremlin
I don’t believe that man was on this plane. I believe he is alive. Why the second plane anyway. Great leaders move with decoy cars, and decoy planes etc.
Dream on. Your hero is gone.
Shoigu sends his regards.
Doesnt look like a crash.. The plane is falling from the sky, while smoke comes out of it.. Looks more like a missile/rocket strike.
Putin is hosting a BBQ for the survivors……!
Goodbye traitor ………… RIP
It’s obvious, that is CIA that killed him!
Get a job already.
Hahaa
Poor innocent crew and plane.
Really oh dia
dead man walking don’t mess up with putin
Who helped the airplane business jet to fall down????This was done by specialists who had access to the avionics of the airplane. It has long been known that manufacturers of aircraft control equipment, put in it the ability to receive commands from satellites!!!!! Having received the command, the aircraft control equipment began to give errors, the plane began to lose altitude or go sideways. This is confirmed by the data of the Internet radar.The overloads caused the plane to fracture, the wing fell off, etc.The plane with Polish President Kaczynski was also brought to disaster!!!
Thats how you turn out when you betray your country.
For all the BRICS members and those who want to join, this is your future presented by Putin
dumbass should’ve just marched into Moscow instead of dying from an “accident”
😲😱🥺Goodbye hero
Well panished to traitor
Are you sure Prigozhin on board on that plane, check his room
not believing until the body is found
I am looking forward to the “USA insidejob”-conspiracy theories coming in.
Mary Poppins did sweetie
Yevgeny reminds me of Boris in 007 Golden Eye
Boris: I’m invincible!
Putin: 😎
RIP Chief.
That’s what i Said b4 when Wagner head show his disgruntled to Putin he priguzin will be liked others .
He is still alive. He know he is targeted.
Well this is just a matter of time, isn’t it?
Was*
Seems like everyone that is a threat to Putin dies somehow
I’m pretty sure that Mr Putin and the Russian state are too smart for the world ….. First, a mutiny ,then he and his squad hand over every piece of equipment to the Russian federation, then moved Belarus… then we heard he was actually in Russian ,then a few days again, he was in Africa, then now he is killed I a plane Crash ….. This and his people are going and planning something for the world they will show up again, what I they intentionally booked a flight and their people took out a faulty plan to look as if he was assassinated …. ???? As Lukashenko what’s going on…..
Is it Prigozhin? Or is it a double use by Kremlin to help Putin save face?
My dark part of mind thinking about “windows” but in different height.
Unfortunately it takes 14 stones to kill a bird.🎉
Not surprised.
Rest in the jahannam pikogi
Putin’s thoughts and prayers are with Prigozhin’s family at this sad time. Overcome with remorse he has announced he will personally take charge of the investigation to ensure justice will be done to the perpetrators of this dreadful deed…
Putin didn’t need him anymore
Assassination
If you were him, wouldn’t you have got on the other plane?!
staged
This is probably a sabotage .. betrayal
This was clearly pilot error: the pilot could not dodge a supersonic heat-seeking missile aimed at the plane, Case closed.
second plane that turned around? he’d be dumb to get on board a plane with his name on the passenger list when he is wanted dead. unless both sides came to agreement to save face of one with fake death but continued working relations. after all the other did like stealth
Lol
Happy Retirement Prigozhin! Enjoy your new identity!
All credit goes to Ukraine for destroying Russian ammo dumps, creating friction among the Russian military apparatus over ammo allotments and leading to this moment.
hahahaha! I’ve seen 100 movies with this ending. lol!
It didn’t “crash” it was shot down by a land to air defense missile. It’s crazy the lies “news”
Nothing suspicious about that at all!!
For the few people who can comprehend the mind set of Putin it is not unexected that this would happen. He had such a king size ego which means he is almost like a Tyrrant. We all know how he was the KGB boss also in the bygone era. So anyone who tries to back stab him or rise against him in rebellion will be dealt in the most appropriate way on his terms of judgement. Is there any doubt on this ?? This is a pure Accident made on purpose. Thats all we can say. All People in the world including their own Russian citizens know that this Ukraine war is the most unjustified war. It does not serve any purpose but only loss of precious lives and livelihood of both the warring countries.
“Confirmed” and “Written” isn’t the e same thing. Not to mention that “Confirmation” means “very little” when it comes to “bigger news”…
7:31 THAT’s [T]he video proof ??? 🤣🤣🤣
Putin would be a total idiot to kill off their best military geberal. This entire thing is a smoke screen. Progozhin is alive and well, just given a new identity and make over
Plane plan😂
He finished his course
😂😂😂😂
Tribute & Feel Sorry To RIP Sir Mr General Yegnev Prigozhin The Wagner Chief Leadershp Marchanery Troops Groups , _ God Bless Sir & All, – Thank You, …… Cheerio.*****.
Hope The Wagner Troops Emidiatly To Anounce The New Leadership Of Wagner Marchenary Troops. – God Bless All, – Thanks All, ….. Cheerio.*****.
Another military operation. 🤪🤣
Russian prime minister Medvedev comes to Putin and nervously tells him to abolish time zones.
” I fly to another city, call home and everyone is asleep. I woke you up at 4AM but I thought it was only evening. – I call to congratulate Lukashenko on his birthday and he tells me he had it yesterday. – I wish the Chinese President a happy New Year, and he says it will be tomorrow.”
“Indeed” Putin replies “but that’s only minor stuff. Remember when Prigozhins private plane crashed? I called prigozhins family to offer my condolences, but the plane hadn’t taken off yet!!”
The cementaries are filled with people who thaught the world could´nt get a long without them!!
Souls have been lost. Putin may be basking in glory at the moment. But he will face judgement,if not in this world,the world after. May the souls of the dead rest in peace.
It just came out that UKRAINE was behind the sabotage of nordström pipeline. And who were people blaming first. Russia. The truth hurts. Doing something wrong and blaming others. Is wrong.. who is behind this terrible killing?
The plane did not crash, the plane was blow🎉 out of the sky. By the dictator putin orders,like he has murder many many, people before, l hope the wagner group take Revenge on the deaf of their leader as soon as possible and all aboard that plane.
My sincere, condolences to the family, of all the people that die aboard this plane.
