Ukraine has nothing to do with the downing of the plane in which the leader of Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin was, said Volodymyr Zelensky, during a joint press conference with the president of Portugal Marcelo Rebelo de Souza in Kiev.
Answering a question about Prigozhin's death, the Ukrainian head of state said: "When Ukraine spoke and appealed to the countries of the world for planes, we wanted something completely different and we wanted support. Although, for sure, it will definitely help in one direction.”
And he continued, throwing implicit accusations at Vladimir Putin and Russia: “We have nothing to do with this situation, that's for sure. I think everyone understands who is connected."
Putin, a former KGB colonel who headed the FSB, the main successor to the KGB, in the late 1990s, is very vindictive.
Kremlin critics cite the case of Alexander Litvinenko, an FSB expert on organized crime, who accused Putin of profiting from drug trafficking and money laundering.
Litvinenko defected to the UK and died a tragic death in 2006 after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210, an extremely rare and expensive poison. Putin called Litvinenko a "traitor" and London said the Russian president "probably " sanctioned the murder.
"Traitors" was the epithet Putin used in his televised speech on the day of Prigozhin's uprising.
And although the unrest was quelled and Wagner returned to the Russian-occupied areas of southeastern Ukraine, Putin's reputation suffered greatly. Charges of high treason against Wagner's boss and officers who shot down several Russian planes during their march were dropped a day later. late.
