Kremlin denies involvement in death of Wagner Group leader

Mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed dead following a plane crash north of Moscow, two months after his Wagner Group marched on the Russian military. The Kremlin said on Friday Western suggestions that the Wagner boss had been killed on its orders were an 'absolute lie.'

Next up.... Trudeau denies any knowledge of how to run a country....

[banshee]

😂😂 to be fair, falling out of a window and radioactive tea was getting old

[milhouse]

"We know he's dead because he was on the flight list, don't ask us how we knew that"

[peteranserin]

Why would a mutineer get on a russian jet and expect to live? LOL

[marc-andreservant]

He also denied poisoning Litvinenko and the Skripals. Of course he did it. He doesn't even need to admit his involvement for any dissidents to be afraid.

[howtodoit]

Shameful analysis, he called the west "law abiding: huh😂

[TheBlazersfan]

Putin: progozhin made some mistakes in his final days. Condolences to the family.

If the Kremlin didn't give the order I wonder which general is going to be retired, fall out of a window, be poisoned or put in prison for giving the order to shoot the plane down.

PUTIN: The carbon fiber plane flew too high, and it imploded . I am innocent. 😂

[wrongthinker]

His plane went down after being mysteriously hit by a missile.

[sianspherica]

LOL Vlad. I'm sure you had nothing to do with this.

[rolandtinker]

One thing for sure putin wouldn't lie He's so honest about everything

[sdegroot]

Well, if he denys it, it must be true.

[gordleith]

He should appoint a special rapporteur to look into nearby wet markets if he hopes to maintain any credibility

[MegaCAMERON]

Did they think he was going to admit that he did the deed...?!?!

[kwaaakity]

there was litterally a video of the plane falling from the sky, blown up,

[chuckeelhart]

The greatest confirmation of Putin’s guilt is his firm denial..

[AnyBodyWannaPeanut]

In a surprise to no
Seriously that's all they ever do! They blatantly commit crimes, and then go "no we didn't".
It's comic-book villain style, and they keep getting away with it. Pretty sad.

[nicolisland]

Big shocker.
And denying the killings of 15 other oligarchs over the last year.
Why ask? Everyone knows.
