Major General Andrey Averyanov of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation Andrey Averyanov may be involved in the downing of the plane of the leader of the PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Inews writes about this, citing its own sources.
According to British and Ukrainian intelligence sources, Averyanov heads a GRU unit that conducts operations abroad on the orders of dictator Putin. This Russian spy may be involved in the poisoning of former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury in 2018.
“Averyanov led the operation to replace the Wagnerites in African countries with 20,000 Russian soldiers,” – according to the source of the publication.
It is noted that this spy has a long-standing hostile relationship with Prigogine. A Ukrainian intelligence source told reporters that Ukrainian intelligence agencies are checking the version of Averyanov's involvement in the explosion on Prigozhin's plane.
According to Bellingcat, Andrei Averyavnov led a group of six operatives, which included Anatoly Chepiga and Alexander Mishkin are the agents responsible for the Salisbury attack.
The investigation alleged that Averyanov was also involved in a 2014 sabotage at a Czech ammunition depot that killed two people.
Averyanov's unit was associated with a similar assassination attempt on a Bulgarian arms dealer in 2015 and responsible for the destabilization campaign in Moldova.
Recall that a plane belonging to Prigozhin crashed in the Tver region.
ISW analysts believe that it was Vladimir Putin who ordered the downing of Prigozhin's plane.
The Wall Street Journal, citing US intelligence sources, reported that Prigozhin still died in a plane crash in the Tver region.
