'Better kill me, plane will fall...', Wagner chief's old interview clip fuels speculation on his fate

Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner mercenary group, reportedly died in a plane crash, sparking conspiracy theories.

An old 40-second clip from an interview purportedly showing Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin saying he would rather be killed than lie to his country has once again sparked speculation about his alleged death.&nbsp;
The clip has been taken from an April 29, 2023 interview with Russian military blogger Semyon Pegov, as per reports.&nbsp;
The clip published on Grey Zone, Wagner's Telegram channel, &nbsp;Prigozhin reportedly says, "Today we've reached the boiling point. Why am I speaking so honestly? Because I don't have the right; people are being lied to. Better to kill me."&nbsp;
Prigozhin also mentions a plane disintegrating in the sky in the video, as per media reports.

10 people were killed after plane crashed between Moscow and Saint Petersburg

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin on passenger list of crashed plane: reports

10 people were killed after the plane crashed between Moscow and Saint Petersburg

Russian mercenary group Wagner's chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the list of passengers of a plane that crashed on August 23, Russia state media reported.&nbsp;
A private jet from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed, killing all ten people on board, Russian emergency officials said.&nbsp;
Unconfirmed media reports said the jet belonged to Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner private military company that attempted a coup against the Russian army in June.&nbsp;
Russia's civilian aviation regulator, Rosaviatsia, said Prigozhin was on the passenger list. However, it was not immediately clear if he had boarded the flight.&nbsp;

Belarus president: Wagner chief Prigozhin is in Russia after failed mutiny

The abortive rebellion represented the biggest threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power and exposed the Kremlin's weakness.

Russia's mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is in St. Petersburg and his Wagner troops have remained at the camps where they had stayed before an abortive mutiny, the president of Belarus said Thursday.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko helped broker a deal for Prigozhin to his rebellion on June 24 in exchange for security guarantees for himself and his soldiers and permission to move to Belarus.
After saying last week that Prigozhin was in Belarus, Lukashenko told international reporters Thursday that the mercenary chief is in St. Petersburg and Wagner troops still were at their camps.
He did not specify the location of the camps, but Prigozhin's mercenaries fought alongside Russian forces in Ukraine before their revolt.
The rebellion saw them quickly sweep over the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and capture military headquarters there before marching on the Russian capital in what Prigozhin described as a &ldquo;march of justice&rdquo; to oust the Russian defense minister and the General Staff chief.
Prigozhin claimed his troops had come within 200 kilometers (124 miles) of Moscow when he ordered them to stop the advance under the deal brokered by Lukashenko.
The abortive rebellion represented the biggest threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin in his more than two decades in power and exposed the Kremlin's weakness.
Lukashenko's statement followed Russian media reports that claimed that Prigozhin was spotted in St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest city. His presence was seen as part of agreements that allowed him to finalize his affairs there.&nbsp;

Surovikin was Moscow's supreme commander in Ukraine and in 2022 was made the head of Russia's aerospace forces.&nbsp;

Top Russian general 'missing' since Wagner coup. Who is Sergei Surovikin?

A top Russian general is missing since June 25 with US intelligence reportedly claiming that he had prior knowledge of the attempted coup against Vladimir Putin by mercenary group Wagner.

Sergei Surovikin's disappearance has sparked rumours that he has been held by Russian officials for investigation over his alleged support to the mutiny. Even though Surovikin had denounced the coup attempt by Prigozhin, the association between the two led to speculations about the Russian general's involvement.&nbsp;
Surovikin was Moscow's supreme commander in Ukraine and in 2022 was made the head of Russia's aerospace forces.&nbsp;
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin had welcomed Surovikin's appointment, referring to him as a 'legendary figure' who was "born to serve his motherland."&nbsp;
Nicknamed 'General Armageddon' by the Russian media, Surovikin is a veteran of Russia&rsquo;s wars in Chechnya and Syria. He has been decorated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin opponents punished but Russia closes criminal probe into Wagner mutiny 

The announcement was the latest twist in a series of stunning events in recent days that have brought the gravest threat so far to President Vladimir Putin's grip on power amid the 16-month-old war in Ukraine.

Russian authorities said Tuesday they have closed a criminal investigation into the armed rebellion led by mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, with no charges against him or any of the other participants.
The Federal Security Service, or FSB, said its investigation found that those involved in the mutiny &ldquo;ceased activities directed at committing the crime,&rdquo; so the case would not be pursued.
Over the weekend, the Kremlin pledged not to prosecute Prigozhin and his fighters after he stopped the revolt on Saturday, even though Putin had branded them as traitors.
The charge of mounting an armed mutiny carries a punishment of up to 20 years in prison. Prigozhin escaping prosecution poses a stark contrast to how the Kremlin has treated those staging anti-government protests in Russia.
Many opposition figures in Russia have received long prison terms and are serving time in penal colonies notorious for harsh conditions.
The whereabouts of Prigozhin remained a mystery Tuesday. The Kremlin has said he would be exiled to neighbouring Belarus, but neither he nor the Belarusian authorities have confirmed that.
An independent Belarusian military monitoring project Belaruski Hajun said a business jet that Prigozhin reportedly uses landed near Minsk on Tuesday morning.
The media team for Prigozhin, the 62-year-old head of the Wagner private military contractor, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close Putin ally who brokered a deal with Prigozhin to stop the uprising, didn't immediately address Prigozhin's fate in a speech Tuesday.
Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus with an iron hand for 29 years, relentlessly stifling dissent and relying on Russian subsidies and political support, portrayed the uprising as the latest development in a clash between Prigozhin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Their long-simmering personal feud has at times boiled over, and Prigozhin has said the revolt aimed to unseat Shoigu, not Putin.
Lukashenko framed the insurrection by Wagner as a significant threat, saying he placed Belarus' armed forces on a combat footing as the mutiny unfolded.
Like Putin, he couched the Ukraine war in terms of an existential threat to Russia, saying: &ldquo;If Russia collapses, we all will perish under the debris.&rdquo; In a nationally televised address Monday night, Putin once again blasted organizers of the rebellion as traitors who played into the hands of Ukraine's government and its allies. Although he was critical of Prigozhin, Putin praised the work of Wagner commanders.
That was &ldquo;likely in an effort to retain them&rdquo; in the Russian effort in Ukraine, because Moscow needs &ldquo;trained and effective manpower&rdquo; as it faces the early stages of a Ukrainian counteroffensive, according to a Washington-based think tank.
The Institute for the Study of War also noted that the break between Putin and Prigozhin is likely beyond repair and that providing the Wagner chief and his loyalists with Belarus as an apparent safe haven could be a trap.
Prigozhin's short-lived insurrection over the weekend has rattled Russia's leadership.
Putin sought to project stability in his speech, criticizing the uprising's &ldquo;organizers,&rdquo; without naming Prigozhin. He also praised Russian unity in the face of the crisis, as well as rank-and-file Wagner fighters for not letting the situation descend into &ldquo;major bloodshed.&rdquo; Putin returned to this theme in a speech Tuesday to soldiers and law enforcement officers in the Kremlin, praising them for averting &ldquo;a civil war.&rdquo; He again declared that the army and people didn't support the mutiny, but avoided mentioning Prigozhin by name.
On Monday, Prigozhin defended his actions in a defiant audio statement. He again taunted the Russian military but said he hadn't been seeking to stage a coup against Putin.
In another show of projecting authority, the Kremlin showed Putin meeting Monday night with top security, law enforcement and military officials, including Shoigu, whom Prigozhin had sought to remove.
Putin thanked his team for their work over the weekend, implying support for the embattled Shoigu. Earlier, the authorities released a video of Shoigu reviewing troops in Ukraine.
It also wasn't clear whether he would be able to keep his mercenary force. In his speech, Putin offered Prigozhin's fighters to either come under Russia's Defence Ministry's command, leave service or go to Belarus.
Prigozhin said Monday, without elaborating, that the Belarusian leadership proposed solutions that would allow Wagner to operate &ldquo;in a legal jurisdiction,&rdquo; but it was unclear what that meant.&nbsp;

Nicknamed 'Putin’s chef', Wagner chief was a close aide of Russian President for 30 years

Nicknamed 'Putin’s chef', rebel Wagner chief was a close aide of Russian President for 30 years

Leader of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin is a Russian businessman and mercenary chief who was a close confidant of Vladimir Putin for nearly 30 years until he launched an alleged coup to unseat him from power on June 24

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian businessman and chief of mercenary group Wagner, was a close confidant of Vladimir Putin for nearly 30 years.&nbsp;
Initially denying any connection to Wagner, he later confirmed founding the mercenary group in 2014.
Prigozhin first met Putin in the early 1990s, according to the Associated Press, allowing Prigozhin who earned the nickname 'Putin&rsquo;s chef' to develop a successful catering business that earned contracts with the Kremlin and Russian military once Putin became president.
Prigozhin admitted to orchestrating Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. elections.&nbsp;
Tensions between Prigozhin and Russian officials have escalated recently, with disagreements over the recognition of Wagner's accomplishments by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The feud between Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russia's military brass came to a violent head on Saturday, with his forces capturing a key army headquarters in southern Russia and then heading north to threaten the capital.

Wagner chief to leave Russia, no charges against forces in deal brokered by Belarus: Kremlin

The feud between Wagner chief and Russia's military brass came to a violent head on Saturday, with his forces capturing a key army HQ in southern Russia. Wagner, which is led by warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, was earlier seen as an extended arm of the Kremlin

The chief of the rebel Wagner mercenary force will leave Russia and won't face charges after calling off his troops' advance on Saturday, Moscow said, easing Russia's most serious security crisis in decades.
Within hours of Prigozhin's about-face, the Kremlin announced he would leave for Belarus and Russia would not prosecute either him or the group's members.
By early Sunday Wagner had pulled fighters and equipment from Rostov-on-Don, where they had seized the military headquarters, said the regional governor.
