A Western official told the publication that he has information about the downing of the plane by a Russian anti-aircraft missile system. However, he could not confirm whether the beauties were on board.

"Putin takes no prisoners, he added.

< p>The version about the downing of the anti-aircraft plane was voiced earlier by some Russian “warriors”. Edition “Verstka” writes that Prigozhin's plane crashed 50 km from the location of the air defense systems of the 42nd anti-aircraft missile regiment of the Soviet Union. In addition, the “Khotilovo” airbase is located nearby.

The phone of the PVC leader “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin was found at the scene of his plane crash in Russia's Tver region. It reports Al Jazeera.

The political source of the publication in PVC “Wagner” reported that there is still no confirmation that Prigozhin's body was among the wreckage of the plane. At the same time, his phone was found there – it was near one of the bodies.

The source added that there should have been a beauty on the plane returning from Africa to St. Petersburg. Therefore, it is very likely that he really died.
