Russian President Vladimir Putin broke his silence Thursday on the presumed death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group militia who was reportedly on board a private jet that crashed with no survivors over Russian airspace.
Putin described Prigozhin as a talented businessman whom he had known since the 1990s and said the investigation into the crash would take time.
"He was a man with a complicated fate, and he made serious mistakes in life," he said.
Until Putin's comments there had been no official confirmation of Prigozhin's death beyond a statement from the aviation authority saying he was on board.
