The world evil.😢
Russia investigating the plane crash is like a robber investigating his bank robbery 🤣
Or like a US police force investigating the actions of one of their officers and saying "we did nothing wrong!"
"He was a man with a complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life." You can tell he's been waiting anxiously to give this eulogy😂
Cause of death: complicated fate resulting from having made serious mistakes in life.
he tried to outshine the master
@@joecc1738 he tried to outshine der führer.
As the old saying goes .. If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword. This guy's business was the death of others, it was eventually going to catch up with him. My sympathies go out to the innocent victims on that plane that died along with him, and the families of those victims
What about the Wagner group killing those Russian soldiers during the mutiny??
@@vincenttay2812 Good question. It seems that even Russia forgot about them. In case they did not take part on the invasion, they got my sympathies.
There is a new saying, if you live by the gun you die by the gun.
Prigozhin is well deserving of the fate that befell him.
Treachery comes at a high priced, especially when you begin to act in ways that reveals the intention to usurp or bite the fingers that fed you.
Prigozhin was made by Putin, then he became a threat after the failed mutiny, the consequence was obvious and he knew the price would be his life. He knew his days were numbered and probably did the best he could to see that his family was spared from the blowback of his treason. I believe he certainly pleaded for his family and that of his associates. He knew he wasn’t beyond Putin’s reach anywhere in the world, and i bet he decided it was better to die in Russia than living anywhere else in the world as a decedent.
There’s so much to learn from his story, whatever made you could also break you, never overestimate your relevance.
Stay humble!!!
Maybe he did it to himself then, through which the blame would be coveniently goes to Mr Putin, and he and his high commanders would be remembered as victims that may as well as heroes?
How is it well deserving
@@kalajari1749 traitor ,he was a traitor ,no one in the world is saying putin did wrong here not even in here
Law 1 " Never outshine your master" actions have consequences
Serf mentality. Keep bending over.
Now you know the reason that Russia earlier claimed that they were not and could not track Prigozin's whereabouts...
Hoppe Zelensky have learned this Law 1 😂😂😂😂 or we will see soon teaching skills
@@spotez9547He learned not to live by that law- he is a free man.
@@Roger-go6jc nop he's f*** up man , that would suit him more 👍
Most people were surprised it took Putin so long.
This is the type of reporting I appreciate most. Thanks Sandra, excellent job.
The first question should be if he really is dead/was on board that plane...
My question exactly. Why were 7 wagner heads in the same plane?
The list of people who didn't want Prigozhin dead would be a lot shorter.
Great video; Beautiful lady, get's the message across in clear and concise way. Thumbs up!
That someone just happened to film the crash, is a good indication and that not only Prigozhin died seems a bit too convenient.
That was the video proof by KGB
The best comprehensive brief about anything. Thank you Al Jazeera.
"He was a man with complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life "
Yep....😂😂😂
Who had control of the airplane's maintenance?
You live by the sword, you will die by the sword. Condolences for the innocent life🙏🏾
He died not with this sword but by the terrorist dictator.
No honour among evil people
Absolutely adore AJ Start Here explainers by Sandra ma’am. Big fan of this programme since it’s inception! Love from India.
I LIKE HER ANALYSIS OF ISSUES AND EVENTS I GET TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE ❤
The video of the hit on the plane shows smoke of the explosion as an external strike, that is the hit was marked by still smoke. An internal explosion would stream from the plane/wing leaving a trail at the time of the strike and continue.
Putin was giving condolences before the bodies were even removed from the plane and ID confirmed, there is not doubt it was Russia. Putin said Prigozhin made some bad decisions....The two planes were over Russia and the incident occured to only the plane carrying Prigozhin, the outcome from the black box will not correctly be made public and Russia will not do so just like MH17, they will deny for ever any involvement.
This short analysis is well done. Thank you
Short and precise, thanks Sandy.
@aljazeeraenglish Please also prepare a program regarding Armenia and Azerbaijan tension in the Caucasus region. I'll appreciate your analysis, considering that Armenia recognized Karabakh as a part of Azerbajyan, but the tension on the border is rising for some reason.
Where is Yulia Shapovalova ? We are missing the amazing Reporter.
Wishing her the best.
Been sometime indeed not to hearing her voice from Moscow. All my prayers for her to remain healthy, safe and sound. Amen.
MAM.Your words are clear.Give more videos on different issues of the world. Thanks
I was waiting for ur report.
Nice presentations❤
This is the best explanation so far. Explanation is precise and objective. Thank you so much.
😂😂😂
Left out the US and France as potentially involved
Wonderful information
Seems to have been an air to air missile. There were aircraft following it nearby. Apparently there were at least 2 planes within range of an A2A attack. One believed to be a Russian fighter jet.
A2A missiles don't need to be 'close by' as they can be launched BYV
Of course they don't But it was quite cloudy that day and they had good cover from detection from the ground.
Also the missile had to be a close range shot to avoid many Russian radars, which would give the game away.
Thank you.
Nobody thinks that it could be a freak accident:
A plane loaded with ammunitions [ that have not been secure for the flight] is very possible
It happened years ago , on a flight with us marines, who had not ‘dis - charge ‘their ammunitions
Impressive your the best Sandra
I think that more than Putin's personal revenge what mattered the most was the timing of takeover of Wagner's African operations , Uranium mines in Niger after the coup, Mali, Congo DRC
Good explanation without bias.
Thanks
I have no idea that who did it,but when you are in any Army then saying no to your boss means prison or any worst punishment.
Another important question to ask is, what was he travelling for? Who invited him if any, because he was in Africa a day before this happen, it is possible that he was invited.
He came home from Africa, may had a plane for Africa, wanted to discuss in Moscow. I assume France and US didn’t want him to realise that! Was also interesting : in Russia. People were waiting for confirmation that he was there, while outside we got already information at he was dead. Those who put explosive in plane we’re sure?
The gravity of his situation finally hit him. 🤣
The ONLY thing that prevents the circumstances of prigozhin's death from being a CELEBRATION is the ... deaths of the three presumably innocent flight crew. Condolences to their families and friends.
"When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die, there is no middle ground" Cersi Lannister. Not being content with the power and money Putin had given him, he put himself into the game and was eliminated as he should have been.
Has the body actually been located, forensically examined and identified??
Love the background clapping at the start. I was clapping too
💖💖💖Start Here
Nothing major will change...Look at what happen to Blackwater...they got disband and formed into other smaller group...Same for PMC now.
Since when the west take care about prigozhin😂
They stupidly thought he would be thier puppet 🤣 😂 😆
Both of you don’t understand the point of this story whatsoever. It’s not about “caring about him” 😂 what children you are thinking that way
WELL, SURE IS FUNNY 😃THAT ALL PUTIN’S OPPONENTS FALL OUT OF WINDOWS, INJEST PLUTONIUM, THEIR PLANE ✈️ BLOWS UP 😢 HOW ODD 🤔😳😲🙄
Attempted mutiny on Russia by Wagner group led to this incident
If that was the case, it should had been done long before,....also why bothered giving him a new contract in Africa?
Princess Diana was talented but made big mistake same like Prigosin.😢😢😢
Nothing particularly new here but good balanced reporting. I may start paying a bit more attention to Al Jazeera.
👍 thanks!!
Could you also explain the Wagner group in Details?
Great presentation, full of factual information.
Thanks Aljazeera!✌✌✌
Everyone already knew he was a dead man walking after the mutiny.
He signed his own death sentence. No surprise there. Putins ego is bigger than Russia itself 😅
This was expected.
Pointing,at-any,head,of-state-equals-to-pointing-at-death
Just checked google maps, Ukraine shooting down a plane flying from St. Petersburg to Moscow, pretty impressive shot
Nice episode, we would like to watch an episode about why russia have troops in Syria
Because Assad asked them?
Give investigation a chance. All im hearing is speculation and wistful thinking.
I LIKE WATCHING SANDRA IS VERY EDUCATED!!! SHE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN❤❤❤❤❤❤KEEP REPORTER❤❤❤❤
Creep…🥴
Black box now examined, last sound recorded, tick tick tick booooom!
It was definitely the Kadyrovites. They stand to gain the most by replacing Wagner. And there was bad blood between them.
I think Prigozhin was the only person that didnt realize he was already Dead
If I am getting on a plane on I heard he is on it I will not ride on it,
Quite as it's kept Putin watches RUclips video's like this while popping bottles of "Grey Goose" Vodka
Can someone tell me this journalist name? Am a big fan of her.
Putin looks really broken up about it
Up Next: "Water - Is it wet?"
We have an dutch saying here in the netherlands "fox loses his hair, but not his pranks". So yes beware of russia or putin
Pootin slaughtered Prigozhin even a blind person can see this
Violent delights have violent ends.
It's easy to predict what will happen, just like a tele-drama.
3:31 legal grounds..... I believe that's not Putin's style. His style is arranging "accidents". He was after all, a former KGB officer. Anyway, all of us will follow Prigozhyn one way or another.
Yeah it's not just about getting rid him, it's about making a statement. It needed to be something dramatic.
@@tiffanylaserna1288 Correct. And any method that would be effective in short order would be facilitated.
Correct....in jail he'd be a focal point at trials & appeals and just be a constant reminder that Putin lost his grip, albeit temporarily. Now he's completely off the board.
What about d black box,inside d plane.
It just boggles the mind to hear people attribute this man as being a hero...smh. This man & his people have been responsible for thousands & thousands of innocent civilians being murdered, tortured & raped, including orphans, widows, babies, pregnant women, elderly people, etc. not only in Ukraine, but the Middle East & Africa too. Also many Ukrainian adults & children kidnaped & deported to Russia without parents consent & they are still there as we speak. They have stolen another countries land & their food supply of wheat, countless personal property of innocent civilians...their homes, cars, money, clothes, shoes, household items & appliances, including a whole refrigerator, property from museums, banks, stores, hospitals, including a whole ambulance & fire truck, etc. They've deliberately bombed & destroyed schools, hospitals, blood banks, homes & apartment buildings, malls, stores, theaters, etc. etc. & you call that a hero because he did it for your country...smh. Anybody who believes that those terrorist acts he committed is worthy of him being considered a hero need to check their mental state because there's something very, very wrong with that picture & there's even more wrong with you 😒🤨🙄
The symbolism of Putin's foes all falling down a great distance to their demise, has not gone lost on B.
Sandra is the best reporter
It's obviously the same people who blew up the Nordstream pipeline. It begins with A and ends with a and is nowhere near either event.
Never let the same snake bite you twice
😍 Sandra 😍
"Prigozhin's death" is just about as real as Wagner being out of ammo, or the "coup attempt"...lol.
Just a countinue our realation in a grate answer im peter
IDK but drinking pineapple juice while watching this give me more understanding
Over confident something isn't Good
How can be Russian President be trusted by countries in BRICS????
It's not about trust for Putin. It's not about respect either. Like all dictators he prefers that you fear him.
The Fact Mr Putin Is Sick,Vicious And Mad!😆
@@jonye7511 do you mean Fear him by letting them know that if they are against him that "death or Murder will be inevitable"?
The wings of a modern aeroplane does come off that easily . This was an assassination by any commonsense
ONE AMONG MANY
Enemy and Treacher two different things
Certainly there was a foul play in Yevgeny Progozhin's death in plane crash .
Only a foolish person will start a fight he cannot win. Prigozhen.
He’s a Billionaire. Not that foolish. Of course who says he’s dead? The flight log?
And van zyl?
Not revenge. It's a "special military retribution."
Already one or two groups of Wagner have threatened revenge. We will see if anything comes of it though.
Very common with mercenaries
They go out of control
He's not Dead
RIP 😢😢😢
def foul play, tampered the engines and electronics
Last few days of him being on news.he should have carried on as chef he could he eat and serve and chill out.
Wagner shot down Russian Military planes during Mutiny in Rostov. Prigozhin+6 suffered the same fate 2 months later.
or two..
