<\/p>\nWagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin "predicted his own death" in a chilling resurfaced video, according to a Ukrainian official.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend Russian officials announced Prigozhin was among the 10 killed when his plane went down in Russia's Tver region last Wednesday (August 23).<\/p>\n
It came after Prigozhin led the Wagner mercenaries in an aborted mutiny against Vladimir Putin's government back in June, angry over the Ministry of Defence's handling of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

As ever with events in Russia there has been speculation that Putin was behind the crash, with some Wagner mercenaries claiming Prigozhin was taken out as revenge for his uprising. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Kremlin has vehemently denied those accusations.<\/p>\n
Now an eerie video of Prigozhin has emerged in which he speaks about possibly being killed and alludes to a plane crash. <\/p>\n
Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs adviser Anton Geraschenko shared it on X (formerly Twitter) and said it shows "Prigozhin predicting his death". <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In the video, Prigozhin is seen discussing the war in Ukraine. It dates back to April 29 according to the Jerusalem Post. <\/p>\n
He says: "Today we have reached the boiling point. Why am I speaking so honestly? Because I don't have the right, before those people who will live on in this country. <\/p>\n
"They are now being lied to. Better kill me. But I will not lie, I must say honestly that Russia is on the brink of disaster. And if these cogs are not adjusted today, then the plane will fall apart in the air."<\/p>\n
Some people have disagreed with Geraschenko's assessment of the video, instead saying the plane crash reference is only a metaphor for Russia's failings in Ukraine. <\/p>\n
One X user said: "Pretty clear he was talking about a metaphorical plane, representing Russia.. but possibly also unconsciously feeling his destiny."<\/p>\n
Others, however, are convinced Prigozhin might have known something. Another reply read: "Seems like he knew, but after the mutiny it was [a] matter of time." A third person said: "[He] could tell his own future."<\/p>\n
