00:00 Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner private military group who orchestrated an
00:13 unsuccessful attempt to overthrow Russian President Vladimir Putin is dead.
00:18 Many would say it was something that was bound to happen sooner or later.
00:23 Reports say Prigozhin died in a plane crash.
00:26 His name is listed as a passenger on a private jet that crashed north of Moscow on Wednesday
00:31 evening.
00:32 The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry initiated an investigation into the crash
00:37 of an Embraer plane in the Tver region.
00:40 A statement from the ministry indicated that Yevgeny Prigozhin's name appeared on the
00:45 passenger's list.
00:47 The incident involved this private Embraer legacy aircraft en route from Moscow to St.
00:52 Petersburg as it crashed near the village of Kuzen Kino in the Tver region.
00:59 The statement further revealed that the plane carried a total of 10 individuals, including
01:03 three crew members.
01:05 Regrettably, initial reports suggest that all individuals on board lost their lives.
01:10 Yevgeny Prigozhin, 62, led a rebellion against Russia's top military leadership on June 23-24
01:17 this year.
01:19 This action, as per President Vladimir Putin, had the potential to push Russia into internal
01:25 conflict.
01:26 The mutiny was eventually resolved through negotiations and an apparent arrangement with
01:31 the Kremlin leading to Prigozhin's relocation to neighboring Belarus.
01:36 Despite this, he appeared to move freely within Russia after the agreement.
01:40 Prigozhin's private military force, Wagner, has also fought alongside Russia's regular
01:46 army in Ukraine, and with the ties with Putin damaged beyond repair, experts opined it was
01:52 just a matter of time that Prigozhin would be eliminated.
