Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied any involvement in the plane crash that has allegedly killed Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
"We have seen the reports. If confirmed, no one should be surprised," White House National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement."The disastrous war in Ukraine led to a private army marching on Moscow, and now — it would seem — to this."President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi speaks during the ceremony, which took place on National Flag Day on August 23, 2023, in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Prigozhin spent months criticizing Russia's military performance in Ukraine before he called for an armed uprising on June 23 to oust the defense minister and headed from Ukraine toward Moscow with his mercenaries. Under a deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Prigozhin agreed to end his rebellion in exchange for amnesty for himself and his fighters and permission to relocate to Belarus.
