Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin was on board a plane that crashed with no survivors northwest of Moscow, according to Russian authorities, just months after he launched a mutiny against Russia’s military leadership.

The Kremlin is yet to comment on the crash. Ten people were on board the aircraft and eight bodies have been found, according to Russian officials and state media.

US President Joe Biden suggested that President Vladimir Putin may have been behind the crash. “I don’t know for a fact what happened, but I’m not surprised,” he said.

Meanwhile, Ukraine marks its Independence Day Thursday, exactly 18 months after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of its former Soviet neighbor.
