The Wagner Chief who attempted a coup against Vladimir Putin this summer just died in a plane crash after being shot down by Russian air defenses.
According to reports he owned the airplane.

This was reported by the BBC and Fox News. I’m sure Putin will deny it though or claim he thought it was a Ukrainian threat of some kind. But honestly, everyone knew that Prigozhin’s days were numbered as soon as he made the deal with Putin. Because that’s just how things go when you opposed Putin.
