Unconfirmed civilian cell phone footage coming out of the Tver region captures the moment that a private aircraft carrying Wagner leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, appears to be shot down. While still not verified, the source of this footage claims that the tail number of the aircraft was RA-02795, which matches the aircraft Prigozhin was allegedly inside of.

We did not immediately jump on this story in the hopes that more information would become publicly available to give us a clearer picture of the situation. That said, even after several hours, the flow of information in the region still remains highly volatile with sources on all platforms all pushing out contradicting statements about the status of the Wagner leader, who is currently presumed dead.

As more information becomes available, we will publish other pieces of footage from the crash-site with an update. Until that time however, most of the information is speculation. If I were a member of Wagner in Belarus right now though, I would strongly consider "attacking" Poland and immediately surrendering to Polish forces. Light a match and watch the whole of the Kremlin burn.
