The Russian officials wasted no time in giving President Joe Biden a good old tongue-lashing for his response to the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, who tragically died in a plane crash. Biden, never one to hold back his opinions, casually remarked that it didn’t surprise him much because, you know, nothing happens in Russia without Putin’s approval. Classic Biden, always ready with a zinger!

Well, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, was having none of it. He fired back at Biden, saying that it wasn’t his place to talk about such tragic events. Ouch, that must have stung Biden’s ego a bit. But hey, when you’re President, you can’t expect everyone to praise your every word. It’s a tough gig.

So, here’s the situation. The Russian aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, confirmed that Prigozhin was indeed on the private jet that crashed while en route to St. Petersburg. Rescue teams managed to recover ten bodies, but there hasn’t been an official confirmation of Prigozhin’s death yet. Maybe he miraculously survived and is sipping cocktails on some tropical island. Who knows?
But here’s where it gets interesting. Flight tracking data revealed that the jet belonged to the Wagner Group, and it mysteriously vanished from radar shortly after takeoff. Well, well, well, the plot thickens. Some people are starting to think that maybe this whole crash was a setup. You know, like an elaborate scheme to fake Prigozhin’s death. Conspiracy theories, gotta love ’em.
Despite the loss of their fearless leader, the Wagner Group is not backing down. They’re determined to carry on with their operations, and word on the street is that Africa is their next target. Sure, why not? Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Africa—it’s like a global tour for mercenaries! But hey, they might face some transportation challenges moving from one continent to another. Maybe they can hitch a ride on a herd of migrating wildebeests or something.
Anyway, all this speculation and controversy just adds to the drama that Russia is already dealing with. Who knew a plane crash could cause such a fuss? But hey, that’s the world we live in now. Every little event gets blown out of proportion, and everyone jumps to their own conclusions. Makes you miss the good old days when a plane crash was just a plane crash. Ah, simpler times.
