Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has so far remained tight-lipped on the reported death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Last night, shortly after the news broke that Prigozhin was on board the stricken Embraer jet, Putin appeared at an event in the Kursk Region marking the anniversary of a famous World War Two battle.
During the event, he paid tribute to those Russians killed during the so-called ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine.
Unsurprisingly, there was no mention of Wagner or of Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Putin may be waiting until an official version of events surrounding the plane crash is established.
