Luke is joined by former Victorian state MP Tim Smith, following the Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin reportedly dying in a plane crash Wednesday evening.

On Thursday, Russian leader Vladimir Putin expressed his sympathies to Yevgeny Prigozhin’s family, finally speaking out after two months since the insurgent commander’s aircraft tragically crashed with no survivors. 

This incident occurred following Prigozhin’s involvement in a rebellion against military leadership.

Russian authorities have initiated an investigation, but there has been no formal statement from Moscow regarding the potential reasons behind the crash.
