Yevgeny Prigozhin's Death in a Plane Crash is Confirmed by Vladimir Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his condolences to the family of Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin after confirming his death. Putin said Prigozhin was a "talented man" but "made mistakes" - alluding to Prigozhin's failed coup attempt on Moscow earlier this year. U.S. President Joe Biden has pointed the finger at Putin and Russian forces, as locals near the crash site said the plane exploded in mid-air before it crashed between Moscow and St Petersburg.
