Wagner fighters and supporters are infuriated by the plane crash of Wagner Chief Yevgeny Prigogine. They are feeling cheated. According to the report of the Russian intelligence agency FSB, Wagner fighters and supporters of Prigogine can attack Moscow and other cities in different ways in anger. They are furious with the different theories being given regarding Prigogine's death. The Kremlin is keeping an eye on each and every activity of Wagner supporters. The Kremlin has made a special plan so that the Wagner fighters don't do anything wrong in a fit of rage.
Whether it is Wagner fighters or Prigozhin's staunch supporters, they all respect President Putin very much. In a condolence message issued by Putin twenty-four hours after Prigogine's death, Wagner's contribution was praised. The Russian President also spoke openly about Putin's four-decade relationship with Prigogine. Putin's emotions were put to the fore through mixed reactions about Prigogine. The ongoing investigation regarding his death was cited.
Appeal issued from people close to Wagner
Be it Chechnya chief Ramzan Kadyrov or Tula Governor Aleksey Dyumin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, all of them have been asked by the Kremlin to issue separate statements regarding Prigogine's death. Foreign Minister Lavrov appealed not to trust the propaganda issued by the media of western countries. Kadyrov released his photo with Prigozhin, praising Prigozhin's contribution. In his statement, Tula's governor and considered close to the Wagner Group, Alexei Dumin, described Prigozhin as a true patriot and said that Prigozhin was not a traitor. Expressing grief over the death of Prigogine, the President of Belarus Lukashenko has also categorically denied the involvement of President Putin in the incident. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peshkov has also answered questions related to this allegation from journalists.
The work of persuading Wagner continues
In the last several years, people of intelligence, security officers working with Wagner Group have been engaged for talks with people associated with Wagner at different levels. The people of the government, who continuously help Wagner in different ways, have been asked to be in regular contact with the Wagner Group.
Decision to stop Wagner fighters in Belarus
Within a few hours of the plane crash, Wagner fighters present in Belarus were preparing to go back to Russia. They had also started removing their camps. In this environment, the return of thousands of Wagner's fighters to Russia is likely to worsen the situation. The Kremlin decided to keep Wagner fighters in Belarus for now. The President of Belarus announced on Friday evening that it has already been decided between him and Prigogine that the Wagner Fighters will have to stay in Belarus.
The task of investigating the plane crash was entrusted to a highly respected officer.
The investigation into the August 23 plane crash has been entrusted to a special team headed by high profile investigating officer Ivan Cibula. Investigation Officer Ivan Cibula has investigated several plane crashes in Russia. In 2014, he also investigated the private jet crash of the CEO of French oil and gas company TOTAL ENERGY at Moscow airport. Apart from this, Cibula also investigated the Russian Airlines Aeroflot accident in 2019, in which 41 people were killed.
The rumor of being alive till the DNA report also got air
President Putin and other senior people may have given a condolence message on the death of Prigozhin, but officially no formal announcement has been made yet about the death of Prigozhin and other people. It is being argued that DNA test is being done. Putin has also said in his statement that it will take time to get a fair investigation done and the DNA report to come. It is believed that by the time it takes for the results of the investigation to come, the anger of the supporters will calm down. Meanwhile, the theory of Prigogine's survival is also being propagated at different levels so that a small hope remains.
Security Alert on Wagner Movement
Russia has asked all its security agencies to keep an eye on the activities of Wagner fighters and staunch supporters of Prigogine. Special monitoring is being done on the tribute meetings being held regarding Prigogine. An appeal is being made to the relatives of Wagner Fighters. Alert is going on at every highway, border point. Security has been increased in Moscow, St. Petersburg and border cities.
