      It’s about time for Yakov Smirnoff jokes to become popular again.

    Shame, he had one chance to do something great and he threw it away. Straight to hell for his war crimes, good riddance

      Ehh… “He had one chance to do something great” almost makes it sound a bit positive. It wouldn’t have come close to making up for the complete shit stain he left on human history.

      Good riddance indeed.

    That headline has changed - originally it said he was “feared” dead. Not sure by who tbh.

    I saw this coming. If you aim at the king, you best not miss.

    I don’t know what made Prigozhin stop his advance, but he must have accepted that he was a dead man the moment he did.

      A Wagner-associated Telegram channel named “Grey Zone” claimed the jet was shot down by Russian air defenses.

    How possible is it that he has staged his own death?

      Tbh, this is what I’m thinking. No way Prigozhin would just go back to Russia without an exit plan. Any sane person knows that accidental death is the only way this would end.

      Why wait for Putin to kill you, if you could just do it yourself?

      Alternatively, it would make sense if this is part of deal he made to call off the coup. Putin promises to fake kill him, Prigozhin promises to stay fake dead.
