does the kremlin have a choice to make here?n some areas if it is true what has been reported, that in some parts of the world they are looking for assistance from wagner, they are looking for russian influence, but at the same time if the kremlin has now got some second thoughts about wagner after the whole excursion in june, wagner has to make decisions about how it shapes -- stefan: i completely agree. the choice the kremlin needs to make is what kind of influence it wants to project around the world and how this influence will play out in the long term. as we have seen at the russia/africa summit in st. petersburg at the end of june, that clearly wasn't event where russia tried to project that clearly was an -- that clearly was an event where russia tried to project an an image of leading the global south, which is generally more disaffected with the common duress of international order. at the same time the track record of russia in achieving this influence both commercial, economic development, and militarily, is not that

cyril: no surprise, the dominant their here is this was indeed payback by the kremlin, and the kremlinin one way or another behind the downing of this plane. as far as you are concerned, are there any credible alternative theories? owen: if this was an accident, an awful lot of people who happen to be enemies of putin are having bad accidents. they are falling out of windows, dying in mysterious murder-suicides. at least 22, depending on how you count it, al oligarchs, prigozhin himself, the commander who died with him. this is clearly not an accident. this is a pattern going back many years. but it seems to have actually kicked up into a new gear. the bloody retribution that the kremlin has brought against its enemies has just gone to a new level since the beginning of the war. cyril: pavel, all of you are analysts of what goes on in russia and russian affairs and criminology to some degree. what did you first think when you first heard the news that this plane had gone down and prigozhin was aboard? pavel: that this was the end of the wagner group as we knew it before. maybe they wil

the kremlin has denied being behind the crash, denied any responsibility.ut that denial, you have to say, has not dispersed the suspicion, the widespread suspicion that mr prigozhin was targeted by the russian authorities as an act of revenge for the mutiny that he organised two months ago with his wagner fighters. marina miron, post—doctoral researcher in war studies at king's college, here in london — and an expert on russian politics. she's currently in munich — and when i spoke to her, i began by asking if what the kremlin was saying should be accepted without any questions. well, for the kremlin, it was important to wrap up this chapter about prigozhin being alive, and to end all potential conspiracy theories about prigozhin being alive, so they wanted to close this chapter and move on, specifically because it isn't clear what will happen to the wagner group and potentially there will be a new leader. as a matter of fact, putin has suggested a different commander—in—chief for wagner back injuly who used to be, according to reuters news agency, the defa

the kremlin leader called it treachery.d been stabbed in the back, the mutineers would be punished. but by evening a deal had been done to end the insurrection. even though russian servicemen had been killed, there would be no charges against yevgeny prigozhin and his wagner troops. they would have to leave russia but the agreement left the kremlin looking weak. this was vladimir putin today, commemorating the soviet victory in a famous world war ii battle. there has been no comment yet from the president on the plane crash. on the streets of moscow tonight there was a mixed reaction. "i couldn't care less", he says. "this was to be expected," says another. "some of the things prigozhin did or didn't do needed to be punished, he had lots of enemies." so, little surprise, but much speculation, about why the jet crashed, who had targeted the plane and its controversial passenger. was this an act of revenge against the man who had dared to humiliate those in power in russia? steve rosenberg, bbc news. so how did yevgeny prigoz

but the kremlin has a root against its enemies. has just gone to a new level since the beginning of the war. it's possible to all of your analyst of what goes on in russia and russian current affairs in criminal law, the kremlin knology to some degree puzzle. what did you 1st think when you heard the news that this plane had gone down and pre goshen was a board what, what it was or this is a the i'm the rock no group as we knew before. maybe they will survive in some kind of rather form, but the way that we use them as they will not the, the predominance of them, especially the use of wagner grew by precaution. for personal, political ambitions also will not be present. and the more the oldest of the fighters are there, very well may be, continue on different places of the world. uh may be under different banners. and they won't disappear, but the uh, phenomenon of wagner is over. it's the organization is fully decapitated. it's not only pre gordon who was the political figure head um the finance behind it, but that was so uh you t

that made the kremlin look weak.onths ago, we hear about the reported demise of yevgeny prigozhin. this potentially makes him stronger. christian: i have to let you receive your holiday but it is lovely to see you in person. as to speak to the russian correspondent for the financial times. nice to see you. in a you have been following the story. can you tell me a little about the investigation and location of the bodies and what is being done in moscow to get to the bottom of this echo -- of this? >> we know the plane crashed northwest of a region in a settlement near a local village. there were a lot of eyewitnesses and a lot of footage. we know the russian investigative committee has said it is launching a criminal case to investigate the causes of the incident. russia's aviation agency said they are looking for the black box and also looking into the causes of the incident. right now, we know parts of the plane are scattered in a small area apart from the tail end of the plane that is 3.5 kilometers away. everyone

was it an accident or payback by the kremlin speculation is rife after the jet crash in russia on wednesday. about the only thing beyond doubt as to what happened is the plain wreckage scattered far and wide rushes. aviation agency says that there were no survivors. the passenger list included 3 crew and 7 members of the wagner mercenary group, including its leader. if getting for goshen, we'll be looking with our guests. what may have happened in the political background and implications. first though, let's hear what some russians have been saying and moscow to finish the test. so that's the 1st thing i believe is that this man committed the most serious crimes possible for a military man to commit as a citizen to i think his safety was any guaranteed in exchange for him stopping what he started to. he didn't stop not believe it as a matter of on a to kill him off. and yes, i've you sorry for him. i think you hear a died this all. what can i say? i don't know. it's a shame my condolences, of course, to his family. his friends, everyone is the country last a here at the charge of this man
