Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to eulogize Wagner Group mercenary chief and ally-turned-rival Yevgeniy Prigozhin, but stopped short of confirming his death.

I guess Putin checked off “downing plane” off his assassination bingo card

There was that whole https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 thing. Not sure how people forgot about this.

That one was on his terrorisms bingo card. Not quite the same as assassination.

Pretty sure Poland already blamed Putin for downing a plane with a bunch of their top government officials some years back.
