We all understand who is behind it, he settled at a joint press conference with his Portuguese counterpart, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
Calls for revenge are mixed with those who want to turn him into a martyr. Dozens of Russians and mercenaries have approached the Wagner group centers in Saint Petersburg and Novosibirsk to lay flowers in memory of his commander and his deputy. Meanwhile, the Intelligence services of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine have shown this Thursday their conviction that Russia is behind the death of Yevgueni Prigozhin, who fell into disgrace after his short-lived attempt at rebellion two months ago now.
