Meanwhile, smug despot Putin attends a concert celebrating Russia’s victory in World War II – amid reports spread that Wagner’s rival Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash
A smug Vladimir Putin was spotted enjoying an evening at a concert celebrating the Soviet WWII victory at the Battle of Kursk, while Russian media boasted that Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was dead.
According to unconfirmed live photos and videos, the Russian President was seen addressing a crowd and handing out military honors at the ceremony in Kursk, Russia.
Footage of the despot emerged as news broke of the fatal crash, which reportedly killed a total of ten people.
As shocking videos showed the crashed business jet ablaze, Putin hailed the “heroes” of Russia’s “special military operation in Ukraine.”
The plane was seen falling from the sky at Bologovsky in Russia’s Tver region, about 60 miles north of Moscow, before crashing in a field and exploding.
There were said to be three pilots and seven passengers on board, with Prigozhin listed as one of those who boarded the plane.

The 62-year-old’s death came less than two months after he began a short-lived mutiny against Russian military leaders on June 23.
After his failure, he was warned that his life was in danger and that he was said to be very concerned about his safety.
The Kremlin had declared after its failed coup that it would be exiled to Belarus, but the mercenary chief continued to appear in Russia, fueling further fears for his future.
