British intelligence said there was no concrete evidence that Prigozhin was on board. At the same time, they believed that Prigozhin was really dead.
In the British Ministry of Defence expressthat the likely death of Yevgeny Prigozhin would have a profound destabilizing effect on the Wagner group.
As you know, two months after the rebellion of the Wagner group, the Embraer business jet, associated with PMC Wagner, crashed near Tver between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Russian authorities say 10 people died on board, including Wagnerite leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
British intelligence said there was no concrete evidence that Prigozhin was on board. He took extraordinary security measures.
At the same time, the British Ministry of Defense believed that Prigozhin was indeed dead.
According to British intelligence, Prigozhin’s death will almost certainly have a profound destabilizing effect on the Wagner group.
The leadership vacuum at the Wagner group will be exacerbated by reports that founder and field commander Dmitry Utkin and logistics chief Valery Chekalov are also dead.
It will be recalled that experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believe that the order to shoot down the plane of Wagner PMC leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was given by the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
