– The molecular genetic studies are complete. According to the results, the identities of all ten dead people have been found out. The persons are the same who were on the plane’s passenger list, the spokesperson of the investigation board Svetlana Petrenko says.
The board therefore considers it confirmed that the director of the mercenary company Wagner Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the flight and died in the accident.
Telegram channels supporting and sympathizing with Wagner in particular have suspected that Prigozhin was not necessarily on the flight at all.

In the West’s estimations, the accident was the Kremlin’s revenge
The cause of the accident is currently not clear.
The crash of the plane carrying Wagner’s leadership occurred two months after Wagner marched on Moscow and defied the Russian military leadership.
Western assessments have said that Prigozhin’s showy necking angered the president Vladimir Putin and he would have murdered the Wagner director.
Russia denies its involvement in the plane crash. Among other things, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov according to the West’s claims are “outright lies”.
