This is akin to Biden trying to jail all his political enemies.
He could be still alive ,..military disguised
I wonder what he did with his , 300 million , for invading the Ukraine…. And if he received it all. 8 weeks ago… ???
A murderer murders anothing murderer. Who cares?
Prog is been big criminal, men like hem knowing about jet need to chek before flight. Its no right to blame Russia leder.
I know the Wagnerites posted a threat to the Kremlin, saying they better hope Prighozin is still alive, but I don't think Wagner still has the ability to carry it out. Putin stole most of Wagner's Machinery, Equipment, Weapons, and Ammo after Prighozin backed out of the attempted Coup. Then Putin told Wagnerites they could either join the ruzzian military, go home to their families, or go to Belarus. Plus, many are in Africa. So Wagner has really been scattered around. I don't feel like they can all pull back together from different locations, then have a second March on Moscow. But I hope they prove me wrong. As for an assassination attempt on Putin, I'm not sure anyone outside the Kremlin can get close enough to Putin to put a bullet in him. The only people anyone can get within a mile of are Putin's body doubles. However, it would be interesting to see what would happen if one of them was publicly assassinated. Would Putin then come out and say, "You missed me. He was just my body double"? Or would Putin let people think he was dead and go into an underground retirement?
Liberals again on news will talk crap again
I'm surprised he lived this long.
Ohhhh it’s suspicious……. Almost as suspicious as how exactly a bat in a wet market somewhere killed almost 8 million people worldwide…….. so yea just a tick below that….
With this guy dead is the best news of yesterday . Some Wagner supporters in African and Indian nation are in shock😂
Now it's going to catch up to you Putin , " Revenge " it's was revenge 😢 😮
Wait and see what Wagner Group Soldiers will do to Puttangz, he's going to be Assassinated.
This is interesting but not surprising.
This is still speculation at this point in time. Prigozhin is presumed dead. That doesn't mean he is dead. Somebody, somewhere needs to confirm this information, one way or the other. Thinking something doesn't make it so.
Gee, what a coincidence that somebody was filming a random jet passing by a 28,000 feet. If it doesn't happen on TV, it did not happen. Message received?
Trumpty Dumbty probably congratulated Putin. 💩
Alive or dead we're not going to hear from Prigozhin again. If he survived and a double died he'll do his best to disappear.
They're going to have an episode of undercover boss where Putin walks in disguised as a janitor. Then, amidst tears and hugs, he breaks the news that he has taken over Wagner Group.
Well we don’t know…..
Shto? Nyet! Plane accidentally fell out of skyscraper window!
Putin went full Stalin. Killing your most effective fighter's commanders..
I M SURPRISED THAT WESTS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT PRIGOZHIN…. 🤔🤔
something is fishy. I dont think they are stupid to put to leaders on the same plane. They faked their deaths. they are hiding somewhere.
The world lost great freedom fighter but still there is the president and the leader Vladimir Putin 😉🇷🇺
What a shame, he will never be able to enjoy that really nice bottle of vodka Putin gave him right before they left the Moscow Airport.
Prigozhin fake is dead that man know who is dealing with
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Valar
morghulis
Is there any proof of his death?
Putin is so paranoid that someday he will launch a missile on the Kremlin🤔
WAGNER SHOULD TURN ON RUSSIAN FEDERATION AND PUTIN AND GO AFTER ALL OF THEM…
Execution by aircraft ….
Yevgeny Prigozhin = Not Dead At All
☝️☝️❤️⭐❤️⭐❤️⭐❤️
Plane Crash = For Entertainment
☝️☝️🤣👽🤣👽🤣👽🤣
