Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner Group leader who incited a short-lived mutiny against the Russian defense ministry exactly two months ago, may have been killed in a plane crash on Wednesday, Russian state media reported. It's not immediately clear if the mercenary boss was on board, but he was on the list.
