Zelensky comments on Prigozhin's plane crash, denies involvement

The president stated this during a joint press conference with Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Answering a question about Prigozhin’s death, the head of state said: "When Ukraine spoke out and appealed to the countries around the world about planes, we didn’t mean that, we meant something completely different and sought support. Although, probably, it will also definitely help us in a certain sense. First, we have nothing to do with this situation, that's for sure. I think everyone realizes who has."

As reported, on August 23, a business jet, which Russian media said carried on board the leader of Russia’s notorious Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, crashed in Russia’s Tver region.

The inquiry into the causes of the crash is underway in Russia.
