Case of exploding wine bottles? Wagner chief Prigozhin's plane sabotaged; Zelenskyy says 'I didn't do it'

The circumstances concerning the demise of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Russian mercenary group known as The Wagner, are shrouded in uncertainty.

Multiple rumours regarding the incident that led to the apparent crash of the aircraft transporting him have emerged in various media accounts.

As per a report from Sky News, a former intelligence officer has unveiled a new angle, suggesting that the flight crew aboard the ill-fated private jet had been presented with a wine crate that detonated while the aircraft was airborne, resulting in the catastrophic crash.

In addition to this account, initial theories span from engine malfunctions to ground-to-air missiles.

Speculation persists on the internet, asserting that the passengers on the plane were handed a wine crate that ultimately erupted in an explosion.

These assertions, however, lack verification.
