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.
This is the type of reporting I appreciate most. Thanks Sandra, excellent job.
Most people were surprised it took Putin so long.
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 👍
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
The list of people who didn't want Prigozhin dead would be a lot shorter.
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?
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.
Absolutely adore AJ Start Here explainers by Sandra ma’am. Big fan of this programme since it’s inception! Love from India.
He signed his own death sentence. No surprise there. Putins ego is bigger than Russia itself 😅
"He was a man with complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life "
Yep....😂😂😂
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.
@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.
Who had control of the airplane's maintenance?
No honour among evil people
I LIKE HER ANALYSIS OF ISSUES AND EVENTS I GET TO UNDERSTAND IT MORE ❤
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
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.
"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.
Nice presentations❤
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.
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.
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
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
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
Good explanation without bias.
MAM.Your words are clear.Give more videos on different issues of the world. Thanks
This short analysis is well done. Thank you
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.
Princess Diana was talented but made big mistake same like Prigosin.😢😢😢
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.
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.
The gravity of his situation finally hit him. 🤣
Has the body actually been located, forensically examined and identified??
Short and precise, thanks Sandy.
Impressive your the best Sandra
Everyone already knew he was a dead man walking after the mutiny.
Nothing major will change...Look at what happen to Blackwater...they got disband and formed into other smaller group...Same for PMC now.
I think Prigozhin was the only person that didnt realize he was already Dead
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?
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.
Just checked google maps, Ukraine shooting down a plane flying from St. Petersburg to Moscow, pretty impressive shot
Great presentation, full of factual information.
Thanks Aljazeera!✌✌✌
WELL, SURE IS FUNNY 😃THAT ALL PUTIN’S OPPONENTS FALL OUT OF WINDOWS, INJEST PLUTONIUM, THEIR PLANE ✈️ BLOWS UP 😢 HOW ODD 🤔😳😲🙄
Thanks
I was waiting for ur report.
I LIKE WATCHING SANDRA IS VERY EDUCATED!!! SHE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN❤❤❤❤❤❤KEEP REPORTER❤❤❤❤
Creep…🥴
Pootin slaughtered Prigozhin even a blind person can see this
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"?
Sandra is the best reporter
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 😒🤨🙄
Wonderful information
The symbolism of Putin's foes all falling down a great distance to their demise, has not gone lost on B.
Can someone tell me this journalist name? Am a big fan of her.
It was definitely the Kadyrovites. They stand to gain the most by replacing Wagner. And there was bad blood between them.
Putin looks really broken up about it
Give investigation a chance. All im hearing is speculation and wistful thinking.
IDK but drinking pineapple juice while watching this give me more understanding
Violent delights have violent ends.
Thank you.
💖💖💖Start Here
If I am getting on a plane on I heard he is on it I will not ride on it,
Pointing,at-any,head,of-state-equals-to-pointing-at-death
Up Next: "Water - Is it wet?"
Have you noticed that westerns are so wrong about military analysis for all over the years however in the end you fail to get the point that wanger was never prigovin in any case
Love the background clapping at the start. I was clapping too
We have an dutch saying here in the netherlands "fox loses his hair, but not his pranks". So yes beware of russia or putin
Certainly there was a foul play in Yevgeny Progozhin's death in plane crash .
Nice episode, we would like to watch an episode about why russia have troops in Syria
Because Assad asked them?
Not revenge. It's a "special military retribution."
What about d black box,inside d plane.
Never let the same snake bite you twice
"Prigozhin's death" is just about as real as Wagner being out of ammo, or the "coup attempt"...lol.
Black box now examined, last sound recorded, tick tick tick booooom!
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?
👍 thanks!!
Could you also explain the Wagner group in Details?
He's not Dead
Who wasn't behind it? Killers have enemies.
Why is no one looking at the possibility of European or US involvement? The French and the US benefit the most from this … first because of the impact on Russia then in affecting Wagners work in Ukraine and most importantly in Africa
Over confident something isn't Good
Wagner shot down Russian Military planes during Mutiny in Rostov. Prigozhin+6 suffered the same fate 2 months later.
Nothing particularly new here but good balanced reporting. I may start paying a bit more attention to Al Jazeera.
On the web,
I found this👇
"The plane fell
out the window"
🙃
😍 Sandra 😍
Very common with mercenaries
They go out of control
Quite as it's kept Putin watches UA-cam video's like this while popping bottles of "Grey Goose" Vodka
His dead is not definitive, even CIA can not confirm that except dance alongside Kremlin tone.
This was expected.
How do you know 'its Putin revenge?'
Too convenient indeed.
def foul play, tampered the engines and electronics
It's easy to predict what will happen, just like a tele-drama.
Nonsense. It was Zelensky's work! There are some eyewitnesses on the ground said that they saw Zelensky jumping out of the plane (parachuted ) with a Ninja move, right before the explosion.
Let’s be real. Prigozhin might have made a deal with Putin to fake his death haha
Could be I mean there is no revolt from Wagner's group on his death
That's what i think the whole time.
Just recently things heat up in Niger, Burkina Faso where Prigozhin, Russians in general have things going on. Of course along with US, France.
There is a chance he could be dead, i just don't believe it. Russians are masters of secrets as any government is but especially Russians knowing their history.
There was a man
In Russia not so long ago,
He was rich and bald,
And could do anything he want!
Pri-Pri-Prigozhin!
That who scared Russian King!
He thought he was so rich,
That he couldn't remain in peace!
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.
