Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin died in an airplane crash in Tver Oblast, Russia. The crash, which killed all 10 people on board, is believed by Western officials to have been caused by an explosion on board, possibly due to sabotage.
Prigozhin met with Freddy Mapouka, a presidential advisor in the Central African Republic, and the head of the Cameroonian pro-Russian media outlet Afrique Média, during the 2023 Russia–Africa Summit.
Wagner forces crossed into Russia's Rostov Oblast from Luhansk, encountering no opposition. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation, denouncing Wagner's actions as 'treason' and vowing to take 'harsh steps' to suppress the rebellion.
Prigozhin launched a rebellion against the Russian military leadership, claiming that regular Russian armed forces had launched missile strikes against Wagner forces. Wagner forces captured Rostov-on-Don and advanced toward Moscow.
Prigozhin accused the regular Russian army forces of running away from their positions and threatened that if he did not receive ammunition, his forces would withdraw from their positions.
Prigozhin revealed that he was banned from recruiting mercenaries among inmates and accused the Russian military command of stopping awards to dead Wagner fighters and restricting their use of special communications and transport aircraft.
Prigozhin announced that, due to a lack of ammunition, his fighters would leave Bakhmut and hand over their positions to units of the Russian Defense Ministry if they did not receive more ammunition.
Prigozhin addressed the Ministry of Defense, criticizing the luxurious lifestyle of the children of Russia's top officials and accusing them of not contributing to the war effort.
A company claimed to be unaffiliated with Concord Catering, Msk LLC, was paid 2.5 million rubles for an annual 'Heroes of the Fatherland Day' banquet held at the Kremlin.
Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin was born in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia). He was the only child of Violetta Kirovna Prigozhina and Viktor Yevgenyevich Prigozhin.
