I hope the Wagnerites turn on Putin for murdering their top chain of command!
LISTED BUT NOT ONBOARD!
Putin, what did you do a….. e.
Туда ему и дорога. Бандитские разборки. Да не сдох он, не настолько он наивный. Такие как он хитрые и жестокие выживают. Может сам и взорвал свой самолет.
He could have faked his own death. Unless you see a body. Who knows?
Russian President puetn is good president
Bird strike. Double headed eagle.
Plane accidentally fell out of skyscraper window. 🤣😂
Fake news.
One Rat lesss in the world.
This is the funniest story i ever heard in my life. Should make it a fairy tale xD
Apparently Putin outsmart Prigozhin and winner takes ALL !
"Betrayal is unforgivable" – V. Putin
Has he faked his death???
"crashed"
That’s different he didn’t get thrown out of building.
Smoke screen
Dead man walking
My bet is Wagner’s leader is in a hole being tortured for names of accomplices. Some nobody died in his place. Putin needed to get him off the stage, but also to obtain information vital to Putin’s survival.
Prigozhin was killed days after he surrendered the coupe. Tortured first, no doubt. This is just to cover-up why no one will ever see him again. Also it keeps Putin's name clean from all of this. Prigozhin's supporters are many, and Putin would like to keep them on his side.
Get all of them who tried that take over !
Didn’t crash it was shot down purposely.
He got whacked
Would Putin swap Falsely Imprisoned Americans for a Convicted Trump ?
Lol
Thats what happens to TRAITORS.
Did anyone open a window?
As an emergency service worker you should not open any windows while the flight is still in the air.
Putin did it 😂😂
I know Putin isn’t handling this tragedy lightly, I saw him dancing earlier when I told him the news…he’s definitely going through a lot 😢
bet putin had him silenced….
CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA CIA 0:24
lol probblems for putin always magically disappear
I keep an open mind that he may be still alive. I don’t trust Russian media to provide the truth.
Official Russian cause of death….Cement poisoning ….
Don't believe in coincidences. I hope he was on another plane. My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved one.
Wow…what a surprise
Time to get a lookalike!
Он упал…
Took down a whole plane just to get this one man.
That''s a new one. Leave it to the Kremlin to come up with original tragic accidents. Haven't seen a repeat in years.
