The White House said on Wednesday that it has no confirmation “at this time” about the killing of Yevgeny Prigozhin, however, the apparent death of the man behind a failed uprising against the Kremlin exactly two months ago is 'anything but surprising,' as President Joe Biden put it, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
“You may recall, when I was asked about this by you, I said I’d be careful what I rode in,” Biden told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “I don’t know for a fact what happened but I’m not surprised.”
Asked if he thought Vladimir Putin was behind the plane crash, Biden said: “There’s not much that happens in Russia that Putin's not behind. But I don’t know enough to know the answer. I’ve been working out for the last hour and a half.”
Russian news sources reported on Wednesday that air defenses downed a private jet with Wagner mercenary group boss, along with 9 others, aboard. The news remains unconfirmed by independent outlets.
"We have seen the reports... The disastrous war in Ukraine led to a private army marching on Moscow, and now — it would seem — to this," the U.S. National Security Council said in a statement.
