Yeah, I am honestly surprised it took this long. I thought it would have happened sooner.

Now, I suppose we wait to see if there is a response from the rest of Wagner…

Does Wagner even practically exist anymore? I thought they'd been integrated into the wider Russian military after the rebellion.

Not sure - they are/were mercenaries, after all.

Here is a Twitter link to what is supposedly his plane falling out of the sky:

EDIT the old video/tweet was removed, apparently.

See this link to the Washington Post for the Video:

Thanks for letting me know. I updated the link with a new one to the Washington Post showing the same video.
