Description
Yevgeny Prigozhin, a prominent Russian mercenary chief is reported to have been killed in a private jet crash in Moscow. He was reportedly listed as a passenger in the jet. This crash resulted in the unfortunate demise of all 10 passengers on board, as confirmed by Russian authorities.The reported passing of Prigozhin, though yet to be definitively confirmed, adds a layer of intrigue given the recent uprising by Wagner forces in June.The uncertainty surrounding Prigozhin's fate is compounded by a history of incidents where he has allegedly fabricated his own death, with some Russian journalists even suggesting that it’s “the third time he died in a plane crash”. Such speculation has been fueled by the presence of doppelgänger rumors and his previous death hoaxes.In this episode, host Dev Goswami and "Def Savvy," Abhishek Bhalla delve into the intriguing circumstances surrounding Prigozhin's presumed demise and explore various speculations that have emerged. We address pertinent questions such as: Does it do anything to the Russia-Ukraine war? What happens to Wagner?Besides, there's curiosity surrounding any potential involvement of Vladimir Putin in these unfolding events, given his administration's history of such mysterious deaths. Could this incident be a deliberate attack, and how might it relate to the broader geopolitical landscape?Notably, Abhishek says, "There was a precursor to the crash, that the Russian military is actually now taking the Wagner on. These are reports from some US-based think tank. However, these reports seem curiously absent from mainstream media coverage. Abhishek raises an intriguing point: if such a significant development were indeed occurring, why has the Russian government not issued statements regarding their actions against the Wagner group? The absence of headlines on this matter raises eyebrows."Listen in as we unravel these mysteries.Produced by Anna PriyadarshiniSound Mix by Sachin DwivediWagner Uprising: Putin Losing Grip Over Russia’s Ukraine War?: https://podcasts.indiatoday.in/politics-&-history/in-our-defence/wagner-uprising-putin-losing-grip-over-russias-ukraine-war-in-our-defence-ep-65-606472-2023-06-29
