President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, on Friday rejected allegations that the Kremlin was behind a plane crash that is presumed to have killed mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led an abortive uprising two months ago. “Right now, of course, there are lots of speculations around this plane crash and the tragic deaths of the passengers of the plane, including Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Once some kind of official conclusions are ready to be released, they will be released.”A preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment concluded that the plane was dow...
