Wagner Chief: Russia slams Joe Biden for jibe on Wagner chief’s plane crashWORLD NEWS
Russia on Friday scolded US President Joe Biden for expressing his lack of surprise that Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin had been killed in a plane crash and cautioned that it was not appropriate for Washington to make such remarks.
Biden on Wednesday said he was not surprised by reports about Prigozhin’s death, adding that not much happens in the country that President Vladimir Putin is not behind.
Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said such remarks illustrated US’s disregard for diplomacy. “Still, it is not for the US president, in my opinion, to talk about such tragic events,” Ryabkov was quoted by the TASS news agency as saying. Reuters
