Prigozhin Killed in Plane Crash

Yevgeny Prigozhin, Wagner co-founder Dmitry Utkin, and seven other Wagner leaders were killed when their private jet crashed over Tver Oblast, Russia — exactly two months after the mutiny. Western officials and analysts widely attributed the crash to the Kremlin. Putin expressed condolences while calling Prigozhin 'a talented businessman who made serious mistakes in life.' Wagner was subsequently absorbed into Russian military command structures.
