The chief of Russian mercenary group Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is believed to have been killed in a plane crash, Russian state media reported Wednesday.

The aircraft, a business jet, crashed in the Tver region northwest of Moscow, with all 10 people onboard killed, according to Russian authorities.

While Russian officials said that Prigozhin was on the passenger list, it was not immediately clear if he was in the aircraft.

“An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” Russia’s Federal Agency for Air Transport said in a statement.

    This has weird feel. The international connections, the timing.

    If he’s dead, it bad. If he’s alive, it’s bad.

    I can’t help but wonder what Progozhin’s motivation might be to fake his own death, if that’s the case. Perhaps he felt his international profile was so high now that it was blunting his effectiveness as an international mercenary?
