Wagner warlord, Yevgeny Prigozhin is buried beside his father in grave surrounded by flowers after Putin refused to attend the funeral (Photos)

 Prigozhin is believed to have been buried next to his father. A Russian news outlet, MSK1.RU, quoted cemetery staff as saying that the privacy of the ceremony was in accordance with his family’s wish. Putin refused to attend the funeral, despite the pair sharing a close relationship in the lead-up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Prigozhin was killed in a plane crash last week, two months to the day after he staged a coup against Putin. Two other top Wagner figures, four Prigozhin bodyguards and three crew members were also killed when the Embraer Legacy 600 private jet crashed north of Moscow.A preliminary US intelligence assessment concluded that an intentional explosion caused the plane to crash, and Western officials have pointed to a long list of Putin’s foes who have been assassinated.The Kremlin has rejected as an ‘absolute lie’ the suggestion that Putin ordered his death in revenge for the revolt, which saw Wagner troops and tanks take over the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on their way up to Moscow. The post Wagner warlord, Yevgeny Prigozhin is buried beside his father in grave surrounded by flowers after Putin refused to attendthefuneral (Photos) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
