UPDATED – Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on a plane that crashed in western Russia killing all on board, according to the country’s aviation authority
His name was on the list of those “declared as travelling on board” the plane, along with key Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin
The Russian Emergencies Ministry has said that private aircraft "came down” near the village of Kuzhenkino

Had to know it would happen sooner rather than later.
I’m just surprised the plane was shot in Russian airspace. Putin’s not even trying to hide his assinations anymore.
I’m surprised it took this long, I thought he’d be dead within a week of his failed coup. Assuming, of course, that he was even really on board.
I was kinda’ surprised he made it out of Russia at all after that. Putin really did look weak vs his regular MO.
They don’t hide them, they just deny them despite all the evidence to the contrary. Usually while sneering.
He’s never tried to hide them. That’s the point.
Right.
This assassination wasn’t revenge, it was a threat, to anyone else that might be thinking about a coup.
