Spokesman says western claims that Vladimir Putin was behind assassination are ‘an absolute lie’
The Kremlin has denied that it assassinated the Wagner chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, calling western intelligence assessments about Vladimir Putin’s potential involvement “an absolute lie”.
Prigozhin is believed to have been killed when his Embraer jet crashed north-west of Moscow on Wednesday, killing all 10 passengers and crew onboard, according to Russian officials.
