'Absolute lie': Russia on claims of killing Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin

The Kremlin said on Friday that Western suggestions that Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin had been killed on its orders and what it called other "speculation", were an "absolute lie".

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that an investigation into the plane crash on Wednesday evening in which President Vladimir Putin has said that Prigozhin and his associates were killed according to preliminary information, is ongoing.

Putin had not met Prigozhin recently, Peskov added.
