Ukraine has nothing to do with the reported death of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin.
President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a statement to journalists today in Kiev, on Independence Day, said that it is clear to the whole world who is behind this accident.
"We are not involved in this situation, that's for sure. I think everyone is aware of who is involved," Zelensky told reporters.
The leader of Ukraine did not miss the opportunity to make a joke about the death of one of the protagonists of the most brutal battles against his country:
"When Ukraine appealed to the countries of the world about the planes, we didn't mean it."
On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not mention the incident at all during his speech at an international summit, but the media say that the Russian FSB intelligence agency is most likely hiding after the air accident.
Meanwhile, Wagner members and supporters across Russia are paying tribute to Prigozhin, placing flowers at makeshift shrines to the Wagner boss.
