Russia says...
Why is it anytime I see those words together, I think the exact opposite of what it is trying to convey?

MODERATORS
Was about to say the same thing, but with the caveat that in THIS particular case, they're probably telling the truth since it's not in the interest of Putin to let him live.
Might have even been alive when they first found him in the wreckage but not after they'd "assessed his injuries".
Btw, just in case there's any doubt: it's a great thing for the world in general that this awful neonazi is dead, in spite of it benefitting Putin.
Oh for sure, I don't doubt at all he's dead, it's just any information russia freely gives usually is for a specific reason only. IN this case it's probably sending a message that if you pull shit against russia, windows in tall buildings may not be your only worry.
Couldn't agree more if I tried!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Russian investigators said on Sunday that genetic tests had confirmed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner mercenary group, was among the 10 people killed in a plane crash last Wednesday.
Russia's aviation agency had previously published the names of all 10 people on board the private jet which crashed in the Tver region northwest of Moscow.
They included Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin, his right-hand man who helped found the Wagner group.
The private jet crashed two months to the day after Prigozhin led an abortive mutiny against Russia's army top brass.
President Vladimir Putin described that mutiny as a treacherous "stab in the back", but later met with Prigozhin in the Kremlin.
He sent his condolences on Thursday to the families of those the aviation agency said had died in the crash.
