Men in military gear lay flowers in St Petersburg as Kremlin keeps silent on Wagner chief’s apparent death
Wagner fighters and a few dozen members of the public have gathered at a makeshift memorial for Yevgeny Prigozhin in his home town of St Petersburg as the Kremlin kept its silence on the warlord’s apparent death in a plane crash.
Footage of the memorial set up outside Wagner’s headquarters in the city showed men in military camouflage on Thursday laying flowers on the ground in front of portraits of Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, a close Prigozhin ally often described as the founder of the mercenary group who was also named on the passenger list.
