According to the well-known Russian society ** vchkogpu, Prigozhin had met with Putin in Moscow the night before his death. In fact, Prigozhin returned to Russia from Africa on a private jet. On August 22, Putin met with Mozambique** in Moscow (the author of this article could not find the relevant information from the Croatian Palace**). The concierge submitted a request to depart from Prigozhin that evening, but it was temporarily postponed to the following day. There is information that Prigozhin postponed his visit only to meet Putin.
In addition, when Prigozhin left on the 23rd, he also used his own special plane, which increased security and increased the number of passengers. The target of Prigozhin's trip was St. Petersburg, Wagner's stronghold and where he once lived. When he got on the plane, he explained the things about picking up the plane and returning to China.
Did Prigozhin hold a private meeting with Putin on the 22nd? At a regular news conference, Peskov said that Putin had not met with Prigozhin recently. However, this guy's claims are not credible, he once denied the existence of a "double Pu meeting" in the "Wagner" uprising, but Putin himself has confirmed this.
Putin issued a statement on the 24th about Prigozhin's air crash, in which he gave a fair assessment of his merits, especially Mr. Prigozhin's great contributions to Africa, and said that he had just returned to Russia from Africa the day before yesterday. This means that Putin is well aware of Prigozhin's movements in Africa and is also very concerned about his business with Wagner in Africa, the two have been friends for many years, and after the coup d'état, the two also reached a reconciliation, so Putin had a private meeting with Prigozhin on the 22nd to provide him with details about Wagner's work in Africa.
However, even if Prigozhin did meet with Putin on the eve of his death, this does not prove that Putin had any direct connection to the crash. Judging from his speech on the 25th, the death of his favorite general made Putin very sad. Prigozhin, although he committed a big crime, was a man who dared to take responsibility and dared to take responsibility.
