Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group, a Russian private military contractor, was killed in a jet crash in Russia on August 23, 2023. Prigozhin had recently been exiled to Belarus following an attempted coup against President Vladimir Putin. The Wagner Group has been operating in Ukraine for the past year as the war between Ukraine and Russia rages on. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but some experts believe that it may have been sabotage. Prigozhin's death is a significant development for the Wagner Group and the war in Ukraine. It is unclear who will succeed Prigozhin as the head of the Wagner Group, but his death is likely to weaken the group's ability to operate in Ukraine. The Wagner Group is a controversial organization that has been accused of human rights abuses, including war crimes. The group has been linked to the Russian government, and its activities have been condemned by the United States and other Western countries.
