“Putin killed Prigozhin!” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this unequivocally on Friday during a speech in Kiev about the plane crash of former mercenary Yevgeny Prigozhin. The Ukrainian head of state referred to reports he had received.
‘He killed Prigozhin. At least that’s the information we all have, we don’t have any other information,” Zelensky said. The incident shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin has now become “politically weak,” Zelensky continued. However, he did not produce the reports or evidence.
The private plane carrying the head of the Russian mercenary group Wagner crashed on August 23 during a flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg. In addition to the Wagner boss, his deputy Dmitri Utkin and eight other people were also killed.
Kremlin spokesperson: “This is speculation”
A week after Prigozhin’s death, the Kremlin said it was investigating in all directions. The possibility of an “intentional crime” will also be investigated. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called “speculation” that the Kremlin ordered Prigozhin’s death an “absolute lie.”
