"Russia's Wagner Boss Death Sparks Speculation and Questions"

Russia's deputy foreign minister criticized Joe Biden's remarks about the suspected death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group, in a plane crash near Moscow, calling them unacceptable. The crash, believed to be an assassination, is seen as retaliation for Prigozhin's mutiny in June. Meanwhile, Ukraine claimed further gains in the Zaporizhizia region, and Russia accused Ukraine of firing a missile towards Moscow and downing scores of drones targeting Crimea. In other news, Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas faced pressure to resign over her husband's ties to a company operating in Russia, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with the Turkish foreign minister to discuss the Black Sea grain export deal. Additionally, a top fighter from the Wagner Group was reportedly detained in Finland at Ukraine's request, and Ukrainian officials have been named as suspects in an embezzlement scheme involving the procurement of humanitarian aid.
