The Russian president addressed the Wagner Group leader’s presumed death.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday made his first comments about the presumed death of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash.
« I’ve known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 1990s. He was a man with no easy fate. He made some serious mistakes in his life, but he also achieved the needed results—both for himself and, when I asked him, for the common cause, » Putin said during a televised meeting, according to the Kremlin-contolled news agency Tass.
Putin’s comments are the closest words yet in way of confirmation regarding Prigozhin’s death.
