A Wagner Group flag was spotted flying Friday at the plane crash site that killed Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an image taken by Reuters, the flag \u2014 attached to a tree branch \u2014 is seen next to a pile of rocks and flowers near the village of Kuzhenkino, outside of Moscow.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flag shows a white skull and the words “PMC Wagner Group” written in English and Russian.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prizoghin was killed there on Aug. 23 when a plane from Moscow to St. Petersburg, Russia, crashed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of Friday, there was no sign of any wreckage, according to Reuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The photo emerged just days after images depicted Russian police standing guard at the gravesite of Prigozhin following his burial in St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

“The farewell to Yevgeny Viktorovich took place in a closed format. Those who wish to say goodbye may visit Porokhovskoye cemetery,” Prigozhin\u2019s press service had written on Telegram.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin \u2014 whose rule Prigozhin challenged about two months ago \u2014 was not among those in attendance Tuesday for the ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I knew Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 1990s. He was a man with a complex destiny, and he made serious mistakes in life,” Putin has said in the wake of Prigozhin\u2019s death. “He achieved the results he needed both for himself and, when I asked him, for the common cause, as in these last months. He was a talented person, a talented businessman.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yesterday, a previously unseen video of Prigozhin also surfaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The undated video, posted to a Wagner-aligned Telegram channel, shows Prigozhin addressing the camera while riding in a vehicle and speaking about speculation of his death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“To those who talk about my liquidation, private life and earnings or whatever else, strictly speaking, everything\u2019s alright,” Prigozhin said in the video, according to translations from the independent outlet Moscow Times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For anyone discussing whether I\u2019m alive or not and how I\u2019m doing [\u2026] it\u2019s a weekend in the second half of August 2023. I\u2019m in Africa,” Prigozhin continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
