  A private plane crashed north of the Russian capital Moscow last evening, killing all 10 people on board, including Yogini Prigozhin, head of the private Russian military Wegener. Russia's official news agency Tass quoted officials as saying that an investigation has been launched into the plane crash in the Toir region. According to the report, according to the list of passengers, the name of Yogini Prigozhin is also among those killed. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said in a statement that the plane was en route from Moscow to Petersburg when it crashed in the Tuir area. The statement said there were 10 people on board, including three crew members. Yevgeny Prigozhin rebelled against Russia's high military command during June 23 and 24, which President Putin called a conspiracy to start a civil war in Russia. President Putin called for a firm crackdown on the plot and said in a televised address that selfishness had resulted in treason and equated the rebellion with a backstab.

He said that this is a blow to Russia and our people and our actions to protect the country from such a threat will be harsh. Putin had said that all those people who deliberately stepped on the path of treason, those who launched an armed rebellion, those who chose the path of blackmailing and terrorism, would be punished, they would be answerable to both the law and our people. Prigozhin demanded that Defense Minister Shuigo and Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov visit him in the Ukrainian city of Rostov, which he had taken control of near the border. A deal with the Kremlin then ended the rebellion and Prigozhin agreed to move to neighboring Belarus. After the agreement, Prigozhin was seen freely in Russia without restriction.
