There have been outpourings of grief, with flowers and candles placed at the crash site and near the St Petersburg offices of the Wagner mercenary group. Allegations suggest the Kremlin might have evidence of Prigozhin boarding the ill-fated flight. Reports said the plane had a sudden descent from its cruising altitude before crashing. A Ukrainian official suggested this could be a signal from Putin to Russia’s elites about loyalty. The US President Joe Biden indicated unsurprise, suggesting Putin’s possible involvement. Belarusian Opposition Chief, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, labelled Prigozhin a criminal and expressed relief over the possibility of reduced Wagner influence in Belarus.
