Kremlin Suspects Foul Play in Prigozhin Plane Crash

The Kremlin has acknowledged the possibility that the plane carrying mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, along with two other top Wagner figures, may have been deliberately downed. The cause of the crash, which killed all 10 people on board, is still unclear. Russia has informed Brazil's aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash under international rules "at the moment." President Putin has sent condolences and described Prigozhin as a talented businessman with a difficult fate. The Kremlin has rejected claims that Putin ordered Prigozhin's assassination. After his death, Putin ordered Wagner fighters to pledge allegiance to the Russian state. Prigozhin's followers have paid tribute to him as a fearless warrior.
