Details: Agenstvo. Novosti reported that the personal information of Yunusov-Prigozhin was on the list of killed paratroopers from the Pskov 76th Air Assault Division in the outskirts of the village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The information about his death was also confirmed by his relative.
As it was reported earlier by Russian media outlets, Yunusov was one of the three doubles of the chief of the Wagner Private Military Company. He changed his name in May 2018.
In 2021, when the real Prigozhin was already under sanctions, the media reported about the visits of his “doubles” to Europe.
