Putin Security Aide Behind Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Assassination: Report

“What concerns this air crash, first of all, I want to express sincere condolences to the families of all those who died,” Putin said shortly after Prigozhin and the nine others were confirmed dead. “It is always a tragedy.”

“Indeed, if they were there and, according to the initial information, Wagner Company employees were on board, I want to note that those people made a significant contribution to our common cause of fighting the Nazi regime in Ukraine,” he continued.
