**I’m very doubtful that this was Putin’s doing- Been following this news as it has unfolded via msm and twitter. My thoughts on the idea of this being Putin’s doing..**

> Putin didn't need to crash a plane to rid himself of Prigozhin if that was desired. Totally unnecessary.

###### [Why is Christopher Steele making such statements?](https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2023/08/23/Contract-was-put-out-on-Prigozhin-in-Russia-Former-MI6-spy)

***Pretty sure this is the “Steele dossier” Christopher Steele.***

> **A former British intelligence officer said he received information previously that a contract had been put out on [Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin](https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2023/08/23/Wagner-affiliated-channel-claims-Prigozhin-s-plane-was-shot-down-by-defense-ministry) by members of Russia’s elite over the past few weeks, Sky News reported on Wednesday.**
> 
> ***“We had heard some weeks ago from a source that a contract had been put out on Prigozhin in Russia* `<em>by senior members of the business community,” </em>Christopher Steele told Sky News.`**
> 
> **He said that it would be a “mistake” to assume any assassination attempt was authorized by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself.**
> 
> ***“But certainly, it looks as though it may well be a revenge attack by somebody in the elite, possibly somebody very senior.**”*

**An Oligarch? A western backed Oligarch? Ukrainian Oligarch? Dual Citizen Oligarch? Russian/Israeli. Ukrainian/ Israeli? Mossad? MI6? Is Steele muddying the waters?**
