A recently surfaced video unveils the moment Yevgeny Prigozhin, widely believed to be the former leader of the Wagner Private Military Company, affirmed his “fine” state before his untimely demise, as reported by Sky News.
Filmed in mid-August, the video showcases Prigozhin seated in a vehicle, addressing the camera only days before his reported death. The brief clip was shared on Wagner’s Grey Zone Telegram channel, where he states, “For those speculating about my existence, my well-being, it is now the weekend, the latter half of August 2023, and I can confirm I am in Africa.”
Prigozhin dons camouflage attire, a cap, and a watch on his right hand in the video.
According to SaharaReporters, the Wagner leader was laid to rest at St. Petersburg’s Porokhovskoye cemetery, as confirmed by his media team. This occurred six days after the fatal plane crash in Moscow, Russia, where he lost his life.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov informed reporters that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Prigozhin had revolted against in June, would not attend the funeral.
Online images suggest that Prigozhin’s burial site lies alongside his father’s grave, adorned with a wooden cross. Russian flags as well as those of the private military company were displayed at his tomb, as depicted in the photographs.
Prigozhin tragically perished alongside several close associates, including key figures from the Wagner Group, as well as the crew of his private jet, which crashed last Wednesday. The Russian Investigative Committee is currently investigating the cause of the incident and confirmed the identities of all victims on Sunday through DNA tests.
Leading Russia’s Wagner Group of fighters, Prigozhin served on the front lines in Ukraine before initiating an unsuccessful uprising against the Kremlin in June. His death occurred two months after the commencement of the insurrection in a fiery plane crash.
