Vladimir Putin breaks silence over plane crash Russia claims ‘killed’ Wagner’s Prigozhin – BBC News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his condolences to the families of those who were reportedly killed in a plane crash, including Wagner mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.

In a televised speech, Putin called Prigozhin a “talented businessman”, who "made serious mistakes in life", in an apparent reference to the group’s rebellion earlier this year.

It is currently unclear what caused the plane to crash – killing all 10 people aboard – though UK defence sources told the BBC that Russia’s FSB intelligence agency is most likely to be responsible.

Putin said investigators will look into what happened – but that this will take time.
