Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has said the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin – the Russian mercenary leader whose plane crashed weeks after he led a mutiny against Moscow’s military leadership – shows what happens when people make deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

As Ukraine’s counteroffensive moves into a fourth month, with only modest gains to show so far, Zelensky told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria he rejected suggestions it was time to negotiate peace with the Kremlin.

“When you want to have a compromise or a dialogue with somebody, you cannot do it with a liar,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

His plane "crashed"? You mean after it was shot with AA missiles right?

It was not shot down, here is a short video with a detailed explanation on why the most likely thing that happened was a bomb onboard.

No no, that was before crash.

Yeah exactly - let's not get things twisted here. The being blown out of the sky by AA and the crash are 2 entirely separate situations involving the same plane that happened close together, that's all. Yep.

Jesus the fucking ignorance here.

It's pretty damn clear at this point it was a bomb on board.

No one is saying Putin didn't do it. Just that the evidence is that whomever did do it, did it with a bomb.
