    That’s a little quick. They would have needed prior blood samples of each individual on the plane, or blood samples of close relatives of each individual.

    Putin needs it to be believed that Prigozhin was rubbed out because this is part of how he maintains power- through fear.

      Doesn’t seem unlikely that they had blood samples of him, given he was a legitimate military target for the Ukaine long before his falling out of favour with Putin.

      It’s been 3 days. As a former prison inmate, they most certainly had his DNA on file.

      No, they don’t. You don’t even need blood samples to begin with. But even if you did, you don’t need any DNA from the other passengers to confirm Prigozhin’s remains. Also, it’s not quick, it’s a reasonable window of time.

      Hair or saliva is enough to get a fairly accurate DNA sample. The now-KGB would have had no trouble procuring that in the past.
