'Absolute lie': Kremlin trashes charges it got Prigozhin killed
The Kremlin has denied allegations that it was involved in a plane crash that killed mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who had conducted a mutiny in Russia. US intelligence officials suspect that the plane was intentionally downed, with some suggesting it was an assassination ordered by President Putin. However, Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesperson, dismissed these claims as "absolute lies" and stated that there is not enough evidence yet. Prigozhin had reportedly made enemies in Russia, Ukraine, and the West.
