Master Peace: the singer leading the way for a new generation of indie stars

Peace okezie's stunning debut album, how to make a master peace, sees him leading the charge to become a defining voice of indie's new brigade.

By Will Richards

If the indie sleaze explosion of the past few years has largely been nostalgic and retrospective, its forward-facing impact looks a lot like Master Peace aka Peace Okezie. The London-born singer’s stunning, transformative debut album, How to Make a Master Peace , lifts sounds and energy from all corners of the 2000s indie scene, moulding it into something that’s new and distinctive.

Across How to Make a Master Peace , you can hear the dark and energetic indie of Bloc Party on ‘Panic101’ and the electro rock of LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture on ‘LOO SONG’. The loose, rowdy ‘Shangaladang’ splits the difference between Pete Doherty and M.I.A, while Georgia collaboration ‘I Might be Fake’ sounds like The Smiths’ ‘Barbarism Begins at Home’ put through a nu-rave filter. It’s an indie album in spirit and energy, but its sound bounces around restlessly, and Peace is endlessly inquisitive in his sonic choices.

Working with producer Matt Schwartz (Yungblud, Dylan), Peace left the comfort zone of his more traditional, boxed-in indie sound on last year’s Peace of Mind EP to explore genre more widely and recklessly. “You don’t risk enough,” the producer told him, Peace recalls in our Rolling Stone UK interview. “You don’t really throw yourself out there.” The album is the sound of this risk paying off. Divorced from current trends and chasing only personal satisfaction, it dives headfirst into Peace’s past and his inspirations. It’s the sort of record that could completely change a teenager’s life.

What was it that you wanted to change about your sound and style after the Peace of Mind EP, and how has this influenced the album?

I played it safe on that EP. I knew where I came from and what I like and the reason people fell in love with me in the first place. It was very obvious — guitars and drums. You knew what you were gonna get. On the album, I realised that I needed to push the boat out. There’s no way I can just sit on the sidelines and do the same thing again. I know a record like this will stand the test of time, and I want people to reference it when they’re making their own records in the future. I didn’t want to make what people want to hear in the current day and age. I wanted to make what I like and to stand behind it.

Did it feel like a risk to make a 2000s-influenced indie record when it’s not a sound that’s in the zeitgeist right now?

It is definitely a risk, but all the people whose music I love — M.I.A., Blood Orange — their music has stood the test of time. I know all this shit because I’ve studied it like it’s an exam. Not to blow my own trumpet, but I know that no tune here sounds like anything else. This album is fucking clear. It needs a Mercury because I know it’s pushing a boundary.

It seems like you’ve had trouble being taken seriously as a Black indie artist. Do you think that’s something people are now finally understanding about you?

I can make as many indie songs as I want, I can fucking fly this flag, and people still call me a rapper. Then you have people like [Murray Matravers] the singer of [the band formerly known as] Easy Life, who raps on every song, but people aren’t gonna call him a rapper. They’ll call him a pop star! I talked to Rachel Chinouriri about this, and I was just like, “Bro, when are they gonna take us in? When are they actually going to accept us into that realm?” All I’ve wanted for so long is for people to just take me in, just a little bit. Take away the race and just actually listen to the music. It feels good to [be] finally, slowly getting there.

In the era you draw inspiration from, Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke and Lightspeed Champion’s Dev Hynes (now Blood Orange) were vital in that representation — did they inspire you to pursue the indie sound?

Those guys were like superheroes to me! I didn’t get it initially, and I’d be lying if I said I did. I thought, ‘Why are you guys making white people music?’ But it’s their thing, and it all came from Black people anyway! I knew in my head that if I could see these guys doing this thing, then I could do it as well. That generation was Kele and Dev, and I want the next generation to think that Master Peace was the person they looked up to. I go places now and see Black people, and they come up to me and thank me for what I’m doing. For me, that’s maximum when it’s coming from a Black person. I know how hard I’ve had to fight for people just to take me in and take away the colour from it, and just listen to the music, but it’s so mad to hear it from my own people. If I can bring that for them and give people inspiration to want to do it for themselves, I feel like my job is complete.

Russia-Ukraine War Prigozhin Listed as Passenger on Plane That Crashed, Killing All Aboard

The authorities did not confirm whether the Wagner mercenary leader, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, was on board when a private jet crashed north of Moscow on Wednesday, killing 10 people.

Here’s the latest on the crash.

Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group who staged a brief mutiny against Russia’s military leadership in June, was listed as a passenger on a plane that crashed Wednesday, killing all 10 people aboard, according to Russian aviation authorities.

“An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated,” the Federal Agency for Air Transport of Russia said in a statement, according to the state news agency Tass . “According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list.” But late into the Russian evening, the authorities had not officially confirmed that he had been killed.

The plane left Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport at about 6 p.m. local time, bound for St. Petersburg, and went down less than 100 miles to the northwest, near the city of Tver. In an article about the crash, the Russian state media agency, RIA Novosti, posted an unconfirmed video , widely shared on social media, that purports to show the plane tumbling from the sky, with smoke billowing.

The crash came hours after Russian authorities said that General Sergei Surovikin, a top officer who was seen as an ally of Mr. Prigozhin, had been relieved of his post. Mr. Surovikin and Mr. Prigozhin were seen as among the most ruthlessly effective Russian military leaders, both sidelined in power struggles with officials who had the ear of President Vladimir V. Putin.

Here are the latest developments:

Russian media have reported that the plane that crashed on Wednesday was an Embraer Legacy 600 business jet with the tail number RA-02795. Past news reports have linked the plane to Mr. Prigozhin and Wagner.

Russian media reported that all 10 bodies had been recovered from the site.

In the United States, the State Department and the National Security Council released statements saying that “no one should be surprised” if Mr. Prigozhin’s death was confirmed, drawing links to “the disastrous war in Ukraine,” Wagner’s march on Moscow “and now — it would seem — to this.”

President Biden, at Lake Tahoe, was asked if he thought Mr. Putin, was behind the crash. “There’s not much that happens in Russia that Putin’s not behind,” he answered. “But I don’t know enough to know the answer.”

In the evening, Russian television showed Mr. Putin commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in the Battle of Kursk.

Embraer, the Brazilian maker of the Legacy 600 business jet that crashed on Wednesday, said that it had stopped providing any support for the aircraft in 2019 because of sanctions. Typically that support is largely maintenance related. It can potentially include data monitoring, but it’s unclear if that was the case with this jet.

The Brazilian Air Force has also said that the responsibility of the crash investigation is on Russia in this case, and that Brazil (as the home country of Embraer) would only get involved if Russia reaches out. It has not.

Some Wagner supporters voice suspicions of a Russian assassination.

As reports of the Wagner mercenary tycoon Yevgeny V. Prigozhin’s possible death in a plane crash spread on Wednesday night, some of his supporters immediately began voicing suspicions of an assassination in online posts on the Telegram messaging app.

Most did not explicitly say who they thought was responsible, but left little doubt that they meant figures within the Russian government. Mr. Prigozhin had railed for months against the country’s military leadership, accusing it of incompetence, corruption and betrayal that hobbled the war effort in Ukraine.

Grey Zone, a channel associated with Wagner, uploaded a photograph of Mr. Prigozhin, praising him as a “true patriot of his Motherland” and saying that he died “as a result of the actions of traitors to Russia.”

“But even in Hell he will be the best!” the channel said. “Glory to Russia!”

Roman Saponkov, a Russian military blogger seen as close to the mercenary group, wrote that the “murder of Prigozhin will have catastrophic consequences.”

“The people who gave the order don’t understand the mood in the army or the morale at all,” he said.

A blogger writing anonymously under the pseudonym Alex Parker, who actively supported Mr. Prigozhin until he aborted a June 24 mutiny, suggested the tycoon’s apparent death was a repeat of what happened in 2015 and 2016 — when a number of militants who had carried out a Moscow-instigated invasion in eastern Ukraine were killed in apparent assassinations.

The blogger blamed Mr. Prigozhin’s apparent death on Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, calling him the “trigger” for such events.

“Today is the end of an era,” wrote the pro-war blogger Boris Rozhin, who posts under the Telegram pseudonym Colonelcassad. “August in Russia never fails in terms of bad news,” he added, referencing a longstanding superstition in Russia about a seemingly cursed month.

Some pro-government commentators were quick to turn the page.

Sergei Markov, a Russian political scientist and former adviser to Mr. Putin, quickly pinned the blame on Ukraine, eliciting more than a thousand “crying laughing” emojis in response.

The pro-war Russian military blog Arkhangel Spetsnaz, which has more than 900,000 followers on Telegram, said it was “closing the issue” of the plane crash.

“Leave all conjectures and investigations for later. When the enemy is defeated and victory will be ours,” the channel wrote. “Don’t muddy the waters now… The enemy takes advantage of every destabilizing situation.”

Wagner’s future in Africa faces further uncertainty.

The future of the Wagner private military company in Africa, one of the force’s main areas of operation, with thousands of soldiers on the ground, would be thrown further into uncertainty without Yevgeny V. Prigozhin as its leader.

Wagner operatives provide security to autocratic African leaders seeking to stay in power, as well as boots on the ground to fight rebels or extremist groups alongside underequipped national armies. Wagner also provides misinformation tactics, which have given the group’s members a veneer of popularity even as they have been accused of widespread human rights abuses, including torture, mass killings and rape, in the countries where they operate.

Mr. Prigozhin’s aborted mutiny in Russia in June, which led Wagner forces to seek refuge in Belarus, had already raised doubts about the group’s operations in Africa, where it has developed a vast business empire and network of relationships with African leaders. But hours after that rebellion was called off, officials with the Russian Foreign Ministry phoned the president of the Central African Republic to assure him that the thousands of Wagner fighters deployed in his country would stay.

Besides the Central African Republic , Wagner’s launchpad in Africa, Wagner mercenaries are known to be deployed in Libya, Mali and Sudan .

In the Central African Republic, Wagner soldiers recently helped the authorities organize a referendum to rewrite the Constitution to allow the president to stay in power indefinitely.

In Mali, about 1,500 operatives have been deployed to fight off an Islamist insurgency, and in recent days they have been on the front line of a nascent conflict against rebel groups in the north of the country. Mr. Prigozhin appeared in an unverified recruitment video this week that several experts on the group said had been recorded in Africa, most likely in Mali.

An adviser to the Central African Republic’s president couldn’t be reached immediately on Wednesday, and a spokeswoman for the Malian military didn’t respond to requests for comment.

For years, questions have swirled around Wagner’s ambitions in Africa and where the group might expand next, especially in countries where military officers seized power.

After the coup in Niger last month, some Western and West African governments feared the country could become Wagner’s next priority . Mr. Prigozhin praised the coup in a voice message on Telegram and offered the group’s services to Niger’s new leaders.

A top civilian official representing the junta told The New York Times last week that to his knowledge, the new authorities had no intention of partnering with Wagner.

An informal memorial next to the former Wagner headquarters early Thursday in St. Petersburg, Russia. Yevgeny V. Prigozhin is not only famous for being the leader of the Wagner mercenary group, but he has built his own personal brand on social media.

Cassandra Vinograd

Who is Dmitri Utkin, the Wagner commander who gave the group its name?

The flight manifest for the plane that crashed north of Moscow on Wednesday night contained at least one other notable name in addition to Yevgeny V. Prigozhin — that of Dmitri Utkin, his longtime lieutenant in leading the Wagner private military company whose mercenaries have fought not only in Ukraine, but also in Syria and across Africa.

Wagner, which the U.S. government has said was financed by Mr. Prigozhin, emerged during President Vladimir V. Putin’s first assault on Ukraine in 2014, when its mercenaries fought alongside pro-Russian separatists in the Donbas region. The Wagner commander at that time was Mr. Utkin, a retired Russian Special Forces officer said to be fascinated by Nazi history and culture.

The group’s name came from Mr. Utkin’s military call sign, which is said to have been taken from the composer Richard Wagner , Hitler’s favorite. Some of the group’s fighters also seemed to share that ideology: Ancient Norse symbols favored by white supremacists have been photographed on Wagner equipment in Africa and the Middle East.

Mr. Utkin, born in 1970, served in both of Russia’s wars against separatists in the Chechnya region, and he was in the G.R.U., the Russian military intelligence agency, until 2013. After that he commanded a Spetsnaz special forces unit and attained the rank of lieutenant colonel, according to a 2020 report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

While over the years Mr. Utkin has been referred to as the “founder” of Wagner, a 2020 investigation by the investigative website Bellingcat said that open source data “strongly” suggested the Mr. Utkin was “not in the driver’s seat of setting up this private army” but rather a “hired gun.”

“While Dmitry Utkin has been widely presented as the front man and ‘principal’ for the Wagner PMC, there is ample data suggesting that his role was more of a field commander,” the report said.

After denying for years that he had any link to Wagner, Mr. Prigozhin admitted last year that he was its founder and chief.

Whatever his role in establishing Wagner, Mr. Utkin’s notoriety grew along with the military group’s — even though he was rarely seen, described by Bellingcat as “camera shy.”

Wagner expanded to Syria in 2015, tasked not only with bolstering the side of President Bashar al-Assad in the country’s civil war — but also with seizing oil and gas fields, American officials said .

In addition to Ukraine and Syria, Wagner operatives have also fought in Sudan, Central African Republic, Mali and Mozambique, extending Russian influence in Africa.

Mr. Putin awarded Mr. Utkin military honors at a banquet in 2016. A year later, the United States imposed sanctions on him for his activities with Wagner — specifically, recruiting soldiers to join separatist forces in Ukraine. (Britain, the European Union and Canada also imposed sanctions on Mr. Utkin and Mr. Prigozhin.)

After Russia began the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Wagner’s fighters took on a major role — most notably in the bloody, nearly yearlong battle for Bakhmut, where they ultimately claimed victory .

Even after the short-lived mutiny led by Mr. Prigozhin against Russia’s military leadership in June, Mr. Utkin stayed by the Wagner chief’s side.

Video emerged in July that appeared to feature Mr. Prigozhin delivering a speech to his fighters who had relocated to Belarus. After finishing, he turned the floor over to Mr. Utkin.

“This is not the end,” Mr. Utkin said.

With few available facts about the crash, rumors surge.

Conspiracy theories and misinformation flowed across the internet on Wednesday about the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, after he was listed as a passenger on a plane that crashed outside Moscow earlier in the day.

People made claims that Mr. Prigozhin had staged the crash to fake his own death, on the same QAnon message boards in which others said that the United States was secretly responsible for his death. On far-right Telegram channels, users posted images of a map showing a second plane leaving Moscow shortly after the first, doomed flight, along with the claims that Mr. Prigozhin was on a second plane also owned by his company. The New York Times was not able to verify any of the claims.

The unclear circumstances surrounding the crash created exactly the type of confusion in which misinformation can easily spread, an irony given that Mr. Prigozhin was a pioneer in the field of establishing and sowing misinformation campaigns.

Although Russian officials said Mr. Prigozhin was listed on the plane’s manifest on Wednesday and that all 10 people on the flight were killed, officials have not said publicly that his remains had been identified.

More than a decade ago, Mr. Prigozhin created Russian troll farms, including the Internet Research Agency, to spread pro-Russian narratives. The troll farms were also part of a campaign to sow confusion in the United States and influence its elections — which he later boasted about — and in particular the 2016 presidential contest.

Those efforts led to a federal indictment of Mr. Prigozhin and others.

The fates of two men key to Putin’s war are now both in question.

Yevgeny V. Prigozhin led the Wagner mercenary force that is believed to have suffered tens of thousands of casualties in its victorious fight for the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, hobbling Ukraine’s preparations for its counteroffensive .

Gen. Sergei Surovikin oversaw the construction of the daunting network of defensive lines in the territory that Russia occupies in Ukraine, a defense that Ukrainian troops have struggled to break through.

On Wednesday, Russian state media reported that the general had been demoted, and that the mercenary was listed as a passenger on a plane that crashed, killing everyone on board.

Wednesday’s fast-moving developments in Russia suggested that the end had come, in different ways, for two men who had proved pivotal over the past year to Russia’s war effort. If Mr. Prigozhin is confirmed to have been killed and General Surovikin remains sidelined from the invasion, questions are sure to be raised over whether President Vladimir V. Putin can sustain his fight without two of his most effective — and most brutal — military leaders.

The war itself has been a grinding slog for both sides.

Nearly three months into their counteroffensive, Ukrainian forces are still struggling to recapture territory occupied by Russia. American officials blame , among other things, Kyiv’s continued focus on Bakhmut, the city into which Mr. Prigozhin poured thousands of fighters recruited from Russian prisons for one of the bloodiest battles of the war.

Russian forces, too, have made little gains since taking Bakhmut. Analysts say that those troops are increasingly exhausted as they defend against Ukraine’s onslaught, and that Mr. Putin might well be forced to declare another draft of civilians to replenish the invading army’s ranks.

Russia’s Emergency Services say the remains of all 10 people on board the plane that crashed north of Moscow have been recovered, according to the Russian news agency Interfax.

The name of Dmitri Utkin, the Wagner mercenary group’s most prominent commander, was also on the passenger manifest of the plane that crashed on Wednesday, as released by Russia’s aviation authority .

Wagner reportedly took its name from the nom de guerre of Utkin, a retired Russian Special Forces commander. Utkin is said to have chosen Wagner to honor the composer, who was a favorite of Hitler’s.

U.S. intelligence officials say they cannot confirm reports of Prigozhin’s death.

American officials said they could not confirm the reports from Russia that Yevgeny V. Prigozhin had been killed in an airplane crash, or why the jet went down.

U.S. intelligence agencies had been surprised that President Vladimir V. Putin had not yet taken action against him after his short-lived mutiny in June.

In July, William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, said that a “complicated dance” with Mr. Putin had developed. Mr. Prigozhin continued to travel between Russia and Belarus, where President Aleksandr G. Lukashenko had offered Mr. Prigozhin and his fighters refuge, and other locations. But Mr. Burns predicted that Mr. Putin would move against Mr. Prigozhin, who staged the most significant challenge to Mr. Putin’s authority in decades with his rebellion .

“Putin is someone who generally thinks that revenge is a dish best served cold,” Mr. Burns said at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado last month. “So he’s going to try to settle the situation to the extent he can. But, again, in my experience, Putin is the ultimate apostle of payback. So I would be surprised if Prigozhin escapes further retribution for this.”

U.S. officials have said that Russia continues to depend on the Wagner mercenary group, particularly for its operations in Africa, a relationship that could have offered Mr. Prigozhin some insurance. But Russia was no longer dependent on the private forces in Ukraine, a reality that potentially gave Mr. Putin a broad hand, other officials noted previously.

On Wednesday, Russian media announced the ouster of Gen. Sergei Surovikin . U.S. officials said General Surovikin had at least known about Mr. Prigozhin’s planned mutiny and may have supported it. As a result, General Surovikin had lost his command, and was under some sort of movement restrictions, if not formal detention, U.S. officials confirmed Wednesday, shortly before the news of the crash became public.

After the announcement of General Surovikin’s removal, American officials noted that they were surprised by how Mr. Prigozhin continued to appear relatively free, recently traveling to Africa and posting a video on social media. In contrast, General Surovikin had lost his freedom of movement, a U.S. official said.

In an article about the crash, the Russian state media agency, RIA Novosti, posted an unconfirmed video , widely shared on social media, that purports to show the plane tumbling from the sky, with smoke billowing.

President Biden, who is at Lake Tahoe, was asked if he thought the Russian leader, Vladimir V. Putin, was behind the crash. “There’s not much that happens in Russia that Putin’s not behind,” he answered. “But I don’t know enough to know the answer.”

The pro-war Russian military blogger Arkhangel Spetsnaz, commented on the crash, urging his more than 900,000 followers on Telegram to “leave all conjectures and investigations for later.” The post continues: “Don’t muddy the waters now,” and says, “The enemy takes advantage of every destabilizing situation.”

Andriy Yermak, the head of the Ukrainian president’s office, posted what appeared to be a thinly veiled reference to the news of the crash on his Telegram account. Yermak, who frequently uses emojis to convey news and reactions, posted a simple audio link — to the song “Highway to Hell.”

Prigozhin’s business empire stretches around the world.

A chocolate museum in St. Petersburg. A gold mine in the Central African Republic. Oil and gas ventures off the Syrian coast.

The economic ventures of Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, a former hot dog seller turned Wagner group warlord who staged a brief mutiny against Russia’s military last month, stretch far beyond the thousands of mercenaries he deployed in Ukraine, Africa and the Middle East.

Through a vast network of shell companies and intermediaries, Mr. Prigozhin’s activities have included catering, producing action movies, making beer and vodka, cutting timber, mining diamonds and hiring people to sow disinformation in elections abroad, including the 2016 U.S. election.

The exact size of his business has been shrouded in mystery and the fate of his sprawling empire is uncertain.

After Mr. Prigozhin led a short-lived mutiny in June, The New York Times took a look at his business interests around the world.

Timeline: What led to the June standoff between Russia’s leadership and Prigozhin?

For years, Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the Wagner mercenary leader who conducted a brief rebellion against the Russian military, had been a loyal supporter of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. But in October, he began to openly criticize the Russian government.

Here is a timeline of the events leading to his break with Mr. Putin:

October 2022

Mr. Prigozhin was one of two powerful supporters of Mr. Putin to publicly turn on Russia’s military leadership after it ordered a retreat from Lyman, a key city in eastern Ukraine , emphasizing that the retreat was a major embarrassment for the Kremlin.

November 2022

Just a day before the U.S. midterms, Mr. Prigozhin sardonically boasted that Russia was interfering in the election .

February 2023

Mr. Prigozhin accused two Russian military leaders of treason in a series of hostile audio messages. He claimed that the Russian defense minister, Sergei K. Shoigu, and its most senior general, Valery V. Gerasimov, were withholding ammunition and supplies from his fighters to try to destroy Wagner.

Mr. Prigozhin issued a series of inflammatory statements. He once again accused Russia’s military bureaucracy of starving Wagner forces of necessary ammunition and threatened to withdraw them from Bakhmut . Days later, he appeared to backtrack on that threat after saying he had been promised more arms.

Mr. Putin mobilized Russian troops to defend Moscow from what he called an armed rebellion by Mr. Prigozhin, whose forces had claimed control of Rostov-on-Don and were seen moving north along a highway toward the Russian capital. Then, in a surprise turn of events, the Belarusian president, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, said he had secured Mr. Prigozhin’s agreement to halt his forces’ advance. Mr. Prigozhin turned his forces around.

The Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, said that Mr. Prigozhin would flee to Belarus, and that Russia’s military operations in Ukraine would continue unchanged.

Mr. Lukashenko told reporters that Mr. Prigozhin was a “free man” currently in St. Petersburg, adding that he “maybe” went to Moscow and was not in Belarus. A Pentagon official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation later confirmed that Mr. Prigozhin had been in Russia, between Moscow and St. Petersburg, during most of the period since the mutiny.

Unverified photographs circulated on social media suggested that Mr. Prigozhin was meeting with African officials in St. Petersburg, where some of the continent’s top leaders had converged for a summit with Mr. Putin.

August 2023

Mr. Prigozhin emerged in an unverified video message posted on Telegram channels affiliated with his Wagner forces, appearing to recruit for the group’s operations in Africa. On Wednesday, Gen. Sergei Surovikin, was demoted from his post as chief of the air force, according to Russian state media. The country’s former top commander in Ukraine, he is the only senior official with ties to Mr. Prigozhin that has been demoted or punished following the rebellion’s aftermath.

This was the path of the plane.

Data tracking the position of the plane that crashed abruptly cuts off about 100 miles northwest of Moscow, according to Flightradar24 .

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s fate remains unclear. Several Russian news outlets are reporting, citing anonymous sources, that he was indeed on the plane that crashed. But Grey Zone, a Telegram account associated with Prigozhin’s Wagner mercenary group, just posted that it remained uncertain whether the warlord was dead or alive.

Russia’s Investigative Committee, a top law enforcement body, announced the opening of a case on the plane crash, on suspicion of a violation of air transport safety rules. It said investigators had been dispatched to the site of the crash.

The White House National Security Council said it had seen the reports of the crash in Russia involving Yevgeny Prigozhin. “If confirmed, no one should be surprised,” said a spokeswoman, Adrienne Watson.“The disastrous war in Ukraine led to a private army marching on Moscow, and now — it would seem — to this.”

The State Department has issued the same public statement on the events as the National Security Council. It is unclear if U.S. government agencies have any concrete facts or intelligence on what happened. But the statements appear to be efforts to pin the blame on the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, and his “disastrous war,” as the American officials put it.

Russian television has been airing live footage of President Vladimir V. Putin in the Kursk region to honor the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany. “I heartily congratulate all citizens of Russia on this event,” Putin says, standing onstage in front of an orchestra.

The White House says President Biden has been briefed on the reported plane crash in Russia.

The Russian aviation authority issued a new statement on the crash, announcing that it had created a special commission that was “investigating the circumstances and causes of the accident.” The statement offered no comment on the cause of the crash but said the commission would look for evidence, including black box records.

The Russian state television channel Rossiya-24 just aired a brief report on the plane crash, naming Yevgeny Prigozhin as being on the passenger list but without providing any new details. It cited the authorities as saying that three pilots and seven passengers had been on the plane.

U.S. officials said they could not confirm the Russian reports that Yvegeny Prigozhin was aboard a plane that crashed, killing all aboard.

Video shared on the messaging platform Telegram appears to show the aircraft that reportedly crashed burning on the ground. The paint and a partial registration number visible on the aircraft in the video aligns with a jet the Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin is known to use, RA-02795. Flight tracking websites indicate that the flight ended abruptly near Tver, northwest of Moscow, around 6 p.m. local time.

Eight bodies have been recovered at the crash site in the Tver region, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti has reported, citing Russian Emergency Services officials.

Russian state television is showing live footage of President Vladimir V. Putin. He is at an event in the Kursk region, near the border with Ukraine, at a ceremony commemorating the Battle of Kursk in World War II.

Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said in a statement that a private Embraer Legacy jet traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed in the Tver region, near the village of Kuzhenkino. The ministry said 10 people were on board the flight, three of which were crew members. “According to preliminary information, everyone on board died,” the statement said.

Yevgeny Prigozhin’s fate is not known at the moment. On the social messaging app Telegram, an account known to be close to the Russian authorities, Readovka, says that reports of the warlord’s death are “premature.” It adds: “Yevgeny Prigozhin may have been on a different airplane.”

Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said that the plane crashed in the Tver region, north of Moscow.

Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the Russian mercenary leader of the private Wagner paramilitary group whose armed rebellion in June threatened the country’s leadership, was listed on the passenger roster of a private jet that crashed in Russia on Wednesday, killing all 10 people aboard, Russia’s aviation authority said.

Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said that the plane, an Embraer jet, crashed in the Tver region, north of Moscow, according to the state news agency Tass. Minutes later, the news agency, citing Russia’s aviation authority, said that Mr. Prigozhin was listed as a passenger on the plane.

“An investigation has been launched into the crash of the Embraer aircraft, which occurred tonight in the Tver region,” Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said, Tass reported. “According to the list of passengers, among them is the name and surname of Yevgeny Prigozhin.”

The Embraer jet was traveling from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport to St. Petersburg, Russia, and crashed less than 30 minutes after takeoff, Tass said.

Mr. Prigozhin, an outspoken tycoon, built the private paramilitary force that has fought on Russia’s behalf in Ukraine and across Africa. Frustrated over the country’s military leadership, he instigated a short rebellion two months ago, a mutiny that posed a grave threat to the government of President Vladimir V. Putin.
