Joe Biden ‘not surprised’ by apparent death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner founder, in plane crash, while Kremlin and Russian president stay silent

The Wagner boss was listed as a passenger on the private jet, but the Kremlin has not confirmed his death.

Wagner mercenaries were on Thursday reported to be trying to head back into Russia after threatening retaliation over the suspected killing of their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash on the orders of Vladimir Putin.

Mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose death was announced by Russia following a plane crash near Moscow, was a Kremlin confidant catapulted to infamy by Russia's offensive in Ukraine before he turned his troops on Russia's capital.

Perhaps the most unexpected thing about the plane crash that reportedly killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, the bombastic head of Russia’s infamous Wagner group, is that it happened a full two months after he brought Russia to what President Vladimir Putin warned at the time was the brink of civil war.

Yevgeny Prigozhin has reportedly been killed in a plane crash two months after staging a failed mutiny against Russia’s military leaders.

As the world reacts to the reported death of Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash late Wednesday, the Kremlin has remained tight-lipped. Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against Rissian President Vladimir Putin in June.
