Sergei Shoigu should have given the direct order to remove Prigozhin, Ilya Ponomarev believes.
The Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu may be involved in the death of the head of the Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Russian opposition and former deputy of the Russian State Duma Ilya Ponomarev believes, writes BILD.
The “assassination”, according to him, happened on the same day when a new commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces was appointed to replace Sergei Surovikin.
“The plane was shot down by two S-300 missiles and shot down on the day that a new commander of the Aerospace Forces was appointed, who, accordingly, was in direct charge of this entire area instead of his friend Prigozhin Surovikin. believe in such circumstances, therefore it was Sergey who should have given the direct order Shoigu, who, as we understand, has personal accounts with Prigozhin,” said Ponomarev.
At the same time, he noted that this would be the initiative of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin himself, “that is a purely physical mechanism for elimination” – poisoning or “an accident while hunting in Africa.”
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.
In this regard, Putin commented on the death of the leader of the “Wagnerites”. The Kremlin leader called Prigozhin “a man of difficult fate” and said that although he “made mistakes”, he “still achieved the desired results.”
