First, information emerged that a military plane had crashed in the Bologovsky district of the Tver region. Russian emergency officials reported that ten people had died in the accident.
Then, information came out that it was not a military plane that had crashed in the Tver region, but a business jet Embraer 600 with registration number RA-02795. According to some sources, the aircraft belonged to Evgeny Prigozhin.
Russian media also report that Dmitry Utkin, the deputy of Prigozhin, was on board.
The second aircraft belonging to Prigozhin is currently turning over Moscow and heading to the airport.
The aircraft, presumably carrying Prigozhin, was flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg. There were 10 people on board, including 3 crew members.
The plane did not descend before the crash. According to the FlightRadar service, it disappeared from radar while gaining altitude.
An anonymous Telegram channel called "VCHK-OGPU" claims that Dmitry Utkin, the commander of the Wagner Private Military Company, was on board the business jet that crashed in the Tver region. Utkin is known as the "right-hand man" of Evgeny Prigozhin, and his call sign "Wagner" served as the name for the Wagner Private Military Company.
A Telegram channel affiliated with the Wagner Private Military Company called "Grey Zone" asserts that the business jet that crashed in the Tver region was "shot down by anti-aircraft fire in the Bologovsky district of the Tver region."
