Kremlin uncertain whether Russian president will attend funeral with arrangements yet to be made public
Vladimir Putin has sent his condolences to the family of the Wagner group head,, the Kremlin has said, adding that it did not know when the warlord’s funeral would take place and whether the Russian president would attend.
Several Wagner members told the Guardian on Monday that they did not know when and where Prigozhin’s funeral would be held. Several channels on the Telegram messaging app close to Prigozhin have speculated that “enemies within Russia” had him killed in retaliation for his brief mutiny against Russia’s military leadership in June. The Wagner group has not yet issued an official statement following Prigozhin’s death.
Meanwhile, the Russian investigative committee has not yet put forward a list of possible causes of last week’s deadly crash. Raw flight tracking data indicates Prigozhin’s plane experienced a sudden drop in altitude and remained in the air for several more minutes before falling from the sky. Aviation experts have suggested that the precipitous drop and widespread debris found at the crash site indicated an explosion or sudden breaking apart of the aircraft rather than a mechanical failure.
