"The murder/assassination of Prigozhin will have catastrophic consequences.
The people who gave the order do not understand the mood in the army
and morale at all. Let this be a lesson to all. You always have to go to
the end," the Wagner channel statement reads.
The bodies of Prigozhin and his second-in-command Dmitry Utkin, have reportedly been identified,
according to statements which have been quick to come out of Russian
media. Russian news agency TASS has also made it official: "Evgeny
Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin were on board the crashed Embraer plane, the
Federal Air Transport Agency reported. The same report cited a Western official to say it was an anti-aircraft missile that struck the private jet:
A western official said they had been told the plane had been brought down by a Russian anti-aircraft missile system but could not confirm whether Prigozhin was on board, adding: "Putin doesn’t take prisoners."" ZH
