The warlord insisted that “Everything is fine” in a video filmed in Africa during “the second half of August.”
Recall that Prigozhin was said to be among the passengers who died in a plane crash in the Tver region near Moscow last Thursday.
The president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, had said Prigozhin made serious mistakes.
Washington had accused Putin of masterminding the assassination of Prigozhin for staging a coup, which was later called off, against his government.
There are unverified reports that claimed that the private jet carrying him was shot down by Russian military forces.
Wagner’s burial was later held in Porokhovskoye Kladbishche, St Petersburg on Tuesday.
However, In the short video, posted on Wagner’s Grey Zone Telegram channel, Wagner said, “For those talking about whether I’m alive or not, how I’m doing, now it’s the weekend, the second half of August 2023, I’m in Africa.
“For those who like to discuss my elimination, private life, income or other things – basically I’m fine.”
