"Putin's Security Council Chief Ordered Assassination of Wagner Boss Prigozhin: Report"

Western intelligence agencies and a Russian intelligence officer have claimed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, was killed in a plane crash ordered by Nikolai Patrushev, the chief of Russia's Security Council and a close ally of President Vladimir Putin. Patrushev allegedly warned Putin about Prigozhin's growing dissent against Russia's military leadership, leading to his sidelining. Prigozhin declared a mutiny against Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and army chief Valery Gerasimov, but Patrushev organized negotiations to stop Wagner's advance. In August, Prigozhin died in a plane crash, believed to be caused by a small bomb placed under the wing. The Kremlin has denied any involvement in the deaths.

Russia Denies Involvement in Prigozhin's Assassination Despite WSJ Report

The Kremlin has dismissed a report by the Wall Street Journal claiming that the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, in a plane crash was orchestrated by Russian security official Nikolai Patrushev. The report cited unnamed Western intelligence officials and a former Russian intelligence officer. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the Wall Street Journal for producing "pulp fiction" and declined to comment further. Prigozhin's death came two months after a mutiny within the Wagner group, which was seen as a challenge to President Vladimir Putin's authority. The Kremlin has previously denied any involvement in Prigozhin's death.

Russian Security Council Secretary Allegedly Ordered Assassination of Wagner Chief: Report

Russian President Vladimir Putin's right-hand man, Nikolai Patrushev, allegedly ordered the assassination of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner mercenary group, following a brief mutiny in Russia. Patrushev saw Prigozhin as a threat due to his open criticism of top Russian military officials and his growing power. Putin did not object to the order, according to the report. Prigozhin and other top Wagner commanders were killed in August when their plane exploded, with the report contradicting Putin's claim that the explosion was caused by mishandled grenades. The Kremlin dismissed the report as "pulp fiction."

High-level talks and trade deals expected between Russia, China, and DRC.

The head of Russia's Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, will hold talks with Chen Wenqing, member of the Chinese Communist Party's Politburo who oversees police, legal affairs and intelligence, on Monday. This would be Patrushev's first meeting with Chen Wenqing. While the bilateral security talks are an annual event, Russia and China have moved to further strengthen their economic, political and military ties since Moscow sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
