Prigozhin talks assassination attempts in newly released video fueling rumors he’s alive
Newly released video eerily shows Wagner Group boss Yevgeny Prigozhin bragging about surviving assassination attempts — further fueling conspiracies that the Russian warlord may still be alive.

The footage was released on a Telegram channel linked to Prigozhin’s mercenary group on Wednesday — a week after he is understood to have died in a fiery plane crash.

“For those who are discussing whether I’m alive or not, how I’m doing — right now it’s the weekend, second half of August 2023, I’m in Africa,” Prigozhin, 62, says in the clip released by the Wagner-linked Grey Zone Telegram channel.

“So for people who like to discuss my liquidation or my private life, how much I earn or whatever else — everything’s OK,” he adds with a dismissive wave of his hand.
