Ukraine is not involved in the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner paramilitary group, stated Volodymyr Zelensky.
Oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner paramilitary group, was announced dead at the age of 62 on Wednesday, August 23, in a plane crash in Russia. “We are not involved. Everyone knows who is involved,” said the Ukrainian President to journalists.
Vladimir Putin praises a “talented” man After paying tribute to Yevgeny Prigozhin, Vladimir Putin promised that the investigation opened to determine the causes of the crash that killed the strongman of Wagner will be “carried through to the end.” Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the “significant contribution” of the crash victims, members of the Wagner paramilitary group, in the fight “against Nazism” in Ukraine.
The German Foreign Minister stated on Thursday that it was “not a coincidence” that everyone suspects the Kremlin of being behind the presumed death of the leader of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in the crash of his private plane.
“It is not a coincidence that the whole world is now looking towards the Kremlin when a disgraced former close associate of Putin literally falls from the sky two months after attempting a rebellion,” Annalena Baerbock said during a press conference in Berlin, highlighting a dictatorial system in Russia “based on internal and external violence.”
