The final red line is shown extending from Kyiv to Moscow, before the screen goes dark and a date is given: August 24.

That is the date of the Independence Day of Ukraine, which commemorates the day in 1991 when the country broke free from the Soviet Union.

**[07-22-2023] Blinken Warns Wagner Boss Against Russia’s ‘open-window Policy’; ‘If I Were Prigozhin…’

Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in jet crash in Russia (media spin):

Exactly two months after his failed coup, Wagner mercenary group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin died on Wednesday after his private jet crashed in flames on an internal flight within Russia, the country’s aviation authority said.

Speculation is rife that Russian President Vladimir Putin — who is notoriously unforgiving of traitors and accused Prigozhin of “treason” in June — ordered the downing of the aircraft. It comes only a day after Russian media announced the firing of Sergei Surovikin, the former commander of Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine, who has not been seen in public since the aborted Wagner coup.

…

Putin himself appeared cheery on Wednesday evening after Russian media suggested Prigozhin was dead, opening remarks at an event commemorating the Battle of Kursk in World War II with a broad smile. “Devotion to the homeland and loyalty to the military oath is what unites all participants of the special military operation,” he said in his speech, referring to Russia’s war in Ukraine. [Putin rushed back to Moscow AFTER the event]

…

Former tycoon turned political dissident Mikhail Khodorkovsky wrote he had no sympathy for Prigozhin, but denounced what he described as “yet another extrajudicial killing.”

…

Pro-Kremlin analyst Sergei Markov tried to flip the blame onto Ukraine.***

“Prigozhin is dead. No one believes that this is an accident,” he said on his Telegram channel. In a separate post, hinting at how Kremlin spin doctors might frame the plane crash in the hours and days to come, Markov said the “murder of Prigozhin and Utkin … is probably a terrorist attack by Ukraine ahead of Ukraine’s Independence Day.”

…

Instead, he [Christo Grozev, Bellingcat****] said, he thought it more likely Prigozhin might have staged his own death.

…

**U.S. officials have been expecting Prigozhin’s demise given Putin’s history of dispensing with opponents. It has even been the source of some gallows humor. In July, at the Aspen Security Forum, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said: “If I were Mr. Prigozhin, I would remain very concerned. NATO has an open-door policy; Russia has an open-windows policy.”

U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said: “We have seen the reports. If confirmed, no one should be surprised. The disastrous war in Ukraine led to a private army marching on Moscow, and now — it would seem — to this.” [BS]

Senate Intel Chair Mark Warner said: “No one should mourn Prigozhin’s death, but this report, if confirmed, is another reminder of the brutality of the Putin regime, and why we must continue our support for Ukraine in its fight for freedom.” [More $ for Ukraine]

…

“If the news are confirmed, I would say it was always difficult to grasp Prigozhin could have believed he could survive after the June coup,” said a senior diplomat from Central Europe, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “Now, we do not know details, but this looks like most likely an obvious message from the regime, that anybody who challenges it, has to be eliminated.” [Expect more suspicious deaths of Russian oligarchs]

***Sergei Markov:

The murder of Prigozhin and Utkin, the creators of PMC Wagner, is probably a terrorist attack by Ukraine for the Independence Day of Ukraine tomorrow. All Russia’s enemies rejoice today. And the murder of Prigozhin is the main achievement of Ukraine this year.

The U.S. intelligence services and the Pentagon are tasked with monitoring the current location and all movements of the head of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.

…

Confirmation that Prigozhin was blown up not by Russian, but by Ukrainian intelligence services is that not only Prigozhin and Utkin were killed, but also by other innocent pilots. The Russian special services would never do that to the Russian ones. And the Ukrainian intelligence services can easily kill everyone. They promised a gift to Ukraine for Independence Day – and they did it

It’s definitely Ukraine who killed Prigozhin. Prigozhin is no longer a problem for Putin. For Shoigu Prigozhin, it’s no longer a problem. Big bosses don’t take revenge because they have too many real problems and real enemies. This is a terrorist attack of Ukraine for Independence Day

That’s it. TV Russia 24 reported that Evgeny Prigozhin died. Complete jubilation in Zelensky’s bunker in Kiev, Washington and London and Paris and Warsaw. Alas.

Everyone who lies all the time and who hates Russia is now screaming that Prigozhin was killed by Putin and Shcheigu

Bad Translation of Sergei Markov’s Telegram comments.

****Bellingcat copycat (Christo Grozev “identified” the “suspects” of the Skripal poisonings):

A source of the CHEKA-OGPU said that Prigozhin’s hasty departure to Africa and rapid return were due to the fact that under the leadership of the deputy head of the GRU – head of the special activities service Andrey Averyanov, a set of measures was being developed to fully replace the Wagner contingent in Africa. It was planned to create and train an army corps of more than 20 thousand people. Prigozhin was extremely opposed to this and made every effort to prevent it.

Andrey Averyanov is known for such GRU operations as the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, the explosion at a warehouse in Vrbetice in the Czech Republic, and the poisoning of Bulgarian arms dealer Emelyan Gebrev.*****

Translation from VChK-OGPU [ВЧК-ОГПУ]’s website.

*****GRU Unit 29155, headed by Andrei Vladimirovich Averyanov:

Unit 29155 was linked by the investigative Bellingcat website to the attempted assassinations of Bulgarian arms dealer Emilian Gebrev in April 2015 and the former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal in March 2018, both possibly overseen by the same agent…Russia has denied all accusations.

Andrej Babiš, the prime minister of the Czech Republic, announced on 17 April 2021 that Unit 29155 was behind the 2014 Vrbětice ammunition warehouses explosions. Czech police seek information from the public on two suspects: Alexander Mishkin (aka Alexander Petrov), Anatoliy Chepiga (aka Ruslan Boshirov). These are the same men identified by Bellingcat in the Skripal poisoning case.
