10 people have died after a private plane crashed in the Tver region, north of Moscow, with Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin suspected to have been on board.
A former US military special adviser has told Sky News that it "wouldn't be a surprise" if Vladimir Putin was behind the downfall.
Meanwhile, it is not yet known what caused the accident.
"We should not forget that the disappearance or departure of some of Putin's enemies over the years have been linked to suspected plane crashes," said Mark Voyager.
He gave as an example the death of General Lebed.
The governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai was killed in a Mi-8 helicopter crash in the Sayan Mountains in 2002. At the time, a member of the Russian parliament said the crash may have been caused by sabotage.
"He was running for president before that and was criticizing the Chechen war that Putin had started," Voyager explained, noting that "it wouldn't be a surprise if Putin has again chosen a method that offers some plausible deniability" to remove one of his enemies. his.
He further said that people should watch how quickly Russia tries to take control of Prigozhin's war empire and financial assets.
"From the subsequent steps of the Kremlin and the Putin regime, we will know to what extent they knew about this and they were prepared," he said.
