Prigozhin’s plane crash two months after the coup
Wagner Group is a private army in Russia. Its head, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was once considered Putin’s closest confidant. Ukraine war started due to Putin’s insistence. Even after a year and a half of this war, no concrete decision has been taken. After this, it was being discussed in the western media that there was a trend against Putin’s leadership in Russia. After this, Prigozhin declared a rebellion and there was an uproar around the world. Now many analyzes are being made that Russia will be divided again and the war in Ukraine will be stopped. But Prigozhin’s rebellion lasted only a few hours. Prigozhin sheathed his sword and surrendered to Putin. At the same time, many people expressed doubts about their future. Just two months after this, on Wednesday 23 August, Russia claimed that Prigozhin died in a plane crash.
