A Russian investigation concluded on Sunday that Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the longtime leader of the Wagner Group, was killed in the aircraft crash last week that killed all those on board.

In a statement Sunday, Russian officials said they have determined that the DNA results examined from the remains of those who died in the crash matched the list of people who were purported to be on the flight.

Prigozhin, who led a short-lived rebellion against Russian military leaders this summer, had been listed among the 10 passengers on the flight list.

An interesting view, one thats hard to argue against and one that none of our military experts went along with at the time

Yevgeny Prigozhin's death shows that Ukraine's decision to engage in the brutal fight for Bakhmut "was the right choice", an expert has suggested.

Phillips O'Brien, professor of strategic studies at St Andrew's University, said: "The losses Wagner suffered led to Prigozhin's growing split with the Russian military. The longer the campaign lasted the more angry he became, and this led directly to the mutiny attempt. No Bakhmut, no mutiny. The mutiny not only crippled Wagner; it's weakened Putin.

"Wagner fought relatively well at Bakhmut, and with some real aggression. If the Ukrainians had abandoned Bakhmut, it would have preserved large number of Wagner forces, allowed them to recruit more, all of whom would be fighting Ukrainians now. Russia would have real reserves."
 
I thought Ukraine's decision to keep pressure on Bakhmut was brilliant.

Like Hitler and Stalingrad, Putin's obsession with Bakhmut was nothing more than a black hole of resources with little strategic gain. Ukraine recognized this and kept the pressure on in order to draw Russia's resources away from other areas while consuming much needed men and material.
