“The head of the Wagner Group, a Hero of Russia, a true patriot of his Motherland * Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin died as a result of the actions of traitors to Russia,” a post in the Grey Zone channel said.

“But even in Hell, he will be the best! Glory to Russia!”

"As for the aviation tragedy, first of all, I want to express my sincerest condolences to the families of all the victims," Putin said in an on-camera address, adding that Wagner Group made a "significant contribution to our common cause of fighting the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine."

"I knew (Yevgeny) Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 1990s. He was a man with a complex destiny, and he made serious mistakes in life," Putin said. "He achieved the results he needed both for himself and, when I asked him, for the common cause, as in these last months."

Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg -- Prigozhin’s home town -- dozens of people have been arriving to light candles and drop flowers at a pop-up memorial.

The jet manufacturer that Prigozhin and Utkin were reportedly on has an impeccable record and it was the first recorded crash in the history of the Embraer Legacy 600.

Isn't falling out of a first floor window cheaper. Were his 10 companions people marked for disposal for a reason too or something.
Like do assume he must have been expecting this to happen at some time and must have been reluctant to travel anywhere not under his own agency like. But is it like waiting for the other boot to drop which will eventually happen inevitably.

Boris Johnson has claimed that President Putin is “being transformed before our eyes into an Asiatic despot”.

In a column for the Daily Mail, the former UK prime minister said Putin’s “mask is now fully off” following the death of Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin in an attack he described as “violent liquidation”.

“I cannot think of another example of such ostentatious and uninhibited savagery by a world leader – not in our lifetimes,” he wrote.

Er, hello? One of your chums, I believe, Boris....

3 hour interview with a guy from Wagner PMC. Doesn't speak English so is translated by the laughing patriot medic from the previous two interviews upthread.

Not too far in yet, but so far

- joined prior to 2022
- has served in Ukraine and 'another continent', not sure why phrased like that
- joined Wagner for the idea not the money

two weeks pass...

Just past halfway in the Wagner interview, not the easiest to follow and the interviewer lapses into leading questions a few times, which he managed to avoid last time out

- Radicalised by anti-russian Ukrainian propaganda not by Russian propaganda. Russian propaganda absolutely useless, has no truck with SImonyan or any of the Kremlim talking heads. Sees them as clowns. Decided he wanted to destroy the enemy of his nation due to the Russophobia he was seeing on telegram. This seems to start around 2019

- Ukraine wasn’t just planning to take back Crimea and Donbas, but also Kuban (Krasnodar), Rostov, Belgorod, and others were on the table (they were already carrying out kidnaps and assassinations not just in Donbass but officially recognised territories). Assasinations increased under Zelensky

- Interview goes into the weeds with some difficult to follow stuff about Ukrainian women preferring to become prostitutes in Hamburg, men doing drugs, nazis, the dark web in Germany, lynchings

- Doesnt believer Prigozhin was killed by Russia (no follow up on this for some reason)

- In Wagner there are foreign units, there is a unit of English speakers, a unit of French speakers, a unit of German speakers, and a unit of Arabic speakers. There are no Australians.

- In his particular unit there are no foreigners, only foreigners he has comes across are Poles and Georgians on the other side but they didn’t talk because he had killed them

- Poland has sent good sappers and technical specialists to Ukraine. But Ukrainian skill level has gone down since Americans started training them. Couldn’t tell if serious comment or not because also British, France, Americans good at technical expertise

- Why Russia doing badly? Something about a behind scenes agreement between Rus gov and Ukr gov so they didn’t prepare for longer war. Says the high Russian casualty rates are as high as is reported, but ratio is 4-1 and in some cases 7-1

Ugh, just come across the word (verb) "attrit" in an article about Ukraine. Inevitably, one feels, it's a word used by the US military.
