that the Wagner boss’ purported death was just the latest instance of Putin exacting ruthless vengeance against a perceived traitor.
“There is now a great deal of speculation surrounding this plane crash and the tragic deaths of the plane’s passengers, including Yevgeny Prigozhin,” Peskov told reporters Friday. “Of course, in the West, all this speculation is presented from a well-known angle.” He also said “genetic tests” are being carried out on the 10 bodies found at the crash site in Russia’s Tver region, less than 100 miles from Moscow. Until the results are in and the victims’ identities are ascertained, Peskov said it was impossible to answer questions about whether Putin would attend Prigozhin’s funeral, adding that the president has “a very full schedule.”
According to the VChK-OGPU channel, the aircraft was up for sale for around $5.4 million and a pair of “mysterious buyers” went to examine it. The Telegram account claims the interested parties were Rusjet Airlines employees who arrived at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport and were declared as passengers on the doomed flight so that they could be granted access to a secure area and eventually the aircraft itself.
