In a totally unexpected turn of events his plane tragically had a catastrophic failure. Nobody could have seen this coming. Heartbreaking.
After his almost thunder run to Moscow that turned out to be just a prank bro (and sorry about the russian military aircraft we shot down on the way!) he and Putin agreed to live and let live as friends do. Putin invited him and those rowdy but well meaning PMC friends of his to enjoy a nice peaceful retirement in Belarus. Putin is a man of his word so there’s no way that has anything to do with this.
