More remains of Yevgeni Prigozhin’s plane have already been found, the leader of Wagner’s mercenaries. The police of the Russian region of Tver have found them three kilometers from where the rest of the fuselage fell. Forensics, who have erected a tent over the wreckage of the main plane, are working to clarify what happened on Putin’s cook’s last trip. These images reinforce an idea pointed out in some Russian media: that there was an explosion in the tail section.

A hypothesis that agrees with the account of the witnesses who saw the accident in the town of Kuzhenkino. Stunned, they recount their experience: “It was a metallic ‘bang’, unmistakable unmistakable.” Some of them already claimed that parts of the aircraft flew off in different directions. They even admit that they saw the tail of the plane fly. “The rear part flew to that area,” explains a neighbor.

The newspaper The New York Times points out another hypothesis: that the fuel was adulterated. What seems to be ruled out is that it was shot down with a surface-to-air missile, as Telegram channels linked to Wagner pointed out. The Pentagon does not see that option viable either, since “there is nothing to suggest that there was an attack with a surface-to-air missile,” Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said at his last press conference.

The world is eagerly awaiting the conclusions of the Russian investigation. The president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has already confirmed that the truth will come to light, although for this he asks for time. According to the official agency RIA Nóvosti, the corpses of the ten occupants who were traveling on the plane have already been found in the area of ​​the accident.

In Moscow, the Wagner leader is bid farewell with flowers and tears. His neighbors have wanted to approach an improvised monument to pay tribute to him after the fatal plane crash. For now, it is not yet known if Putin will attend the funeral. The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, assures that for scheduling reasons it is difficult to know. Besides, He flatly denies the versions that affirm that it was a murder.

Prigozhin’s death would leave the Wagner Group leaderless and now the world wonders who will lead its military operations.
