The presumed death of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin follows a pattern of “unclarified” fatalities in Russia, Germany’s foreign minister said Thursday, adding that it was no coincidence that focus has turned to the Kremlin for answers.
“It is no accident that the world immediately looks at the Kremlin when a disgraced former confidant of Putin suddenly, literally falls from the sky two months after he attempted a mutiny,” said Annalena Baerbock, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We know this pattern in Putin’s Russia: deaths, dubious suicides, falls from windows, all which remain unclarified — that underlines a dictatorial power system that is built on violence,” she said at a press conference with the Kyrgyz foreign minister.
