Breaking: #Prigozhin: #Zelensky reacts to death of Wagner leader

Ukraine’s President Zelensky says Kyiv had nothing to do with a plane crash in which Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed to have died.

Zelensky tells journalists: “Everyone is aware who is involved”.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin made no mention of the crash when he addressed an international summit earlier.

Authorities say all 10 people on the plane were killed when it crashed near Moscow – and that passengers included Prigozhin and his right-hand man Dmitry Utkin.

There’s continued speculation about what happened. UK defence sources tell the BBC that Russia’s FSB intelligence agency is most likely to be responsible.

The Wagner mercenary group was very active in Ukraine, until Prigozhin led a short-lived mutiny against the Russian military leadership in June – which Putin called “treachery” at the time.
