Vladimir Putin: After Prigozhin’s death, expert issues chilling warning about leader’s next move

On Wednesday, August 23, it was reported that a plane carrying Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and other mercenaries crashed, allegedly causing the death of all those on board.

At the moment, Prigozhin’s death has not been officially confirmed as his body is yet to be found, the whole situation appears to be quite mysterious with no one truly knowing what happened. However, it is believed that Russian President, Vladimir had a role to play in the plane crash.

It is speculated that Putin wanted to take action against Prigozhin after the Wagner chief staged a coup against the President back in June. Naturally, the Kremlin has denied any involvement in the plane crash. Nevertheless, an expert believes that the Russian President has something else planned for the rest of the Wagner Group.

The Wagner Group may be seeking revenge against Vladimir Putin

As reported by Express, it has been suggested that the remaining members of the Wagner Group may be planning to take revenge against Vladimir Putin as well as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu concerning Prigozhin alleged death.

According to various Telegram channels, the Wagner Group has ‘vowed to capture the Kremlin should Prigozhin's death be confirmed.’

If the Wagner Group does proceed with an attack on the Kremlin, it is highly likely, according to Matt Shoemaker, former Intelligence Officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency, that their success is very slim. He told Express:

While there is a chance Wagner could mount a response to the death of its leader, the likelihood they would succeed is bleak.

Matt Shoemaker has also issued a chilling warning concerning the Wagner Group and believes ‘the next 72 hours in particular will likely be critical’ for the remaining members of the Wagner Group.

Shoemaker believes that it won’t only be Prigozhin' who meets an ‘untimely death.’ he then goes on to explain that the ‘lower-level leaders’ of the group may have mysterious deaths such as ‘suicide or falling out windows’ but their deaths won’t make international news.

Other lower-level Wagner leaders may very well wind up dead by 'suicide' or falling out windows but without making international headlines.

Despite the suspected threat, Shoemaker explains that Putin is no longer worried about another coup happening:

The good news for Putin is that he no longer has to worry about facing a palace coup from Prigozhin again
