The US President is not surprised by the death of the head of the Wagner PMC as a result of the plane crash on August 23, 2023.
U.S. President Joe Biden is not surprised that Yevhen Prygozhyn died, and noted that Washington will carefully examine the possible causes of the crash of the Wagner PMC leader’s plane on August 23, 2023. This was reported by Sky News.
Biden recalled that after Prigozhin’s failed rebellion and his “march on Moscow,” he advised Putin’s “chef” to closely monitor what he eats and what he drives.
The US will try to establish exactly how the plane carrying the head of the Wagner PMC was shot down.
In addition, the US President noted that he was “not surprised” by this development.
“You may recall when you asked me about Prigozhin, I said that if I were him, I would be careful what I drink and what I drive. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I’m not surprised,” Joe Biden first reacted to the news of Prigozhin’s death.
The first reaction of the US president to Prigozhin’s death
The United States called inaccurate the version that Yevgeny Prigozhin’s plane was shot down by an air defense system. The option of explosion directly on board the aircraft is also being considered.
It should be noted that on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, a business jet RA-02795 carrying the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and his assistant Dmitry Utkin, crashed in the Tver region of Russia. In addition to them, other passengers and staff were killed.
