Germany's foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock on Thursday, said the presumed death of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, followed a pattern of "unclarified" fatalities in Russia, adding that it was no coincidence that focus turned to Russia for answers.

"It is no accident that the world immediately looks at the Kremlin when a disgraced former confidant of Putin suddenly, literally falls from the sky two months after he attempted a mutiny," said Annalena Baerbock, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"We know this pattern in Putin's Russia:  deaths, dubious suicides, falls from windows, all which remain unclarified -- that underlines a dictatorial power system that is built on violence," she said at a press conference with the Kyrgyz foreign minister.

Access24 reports that Mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was feared dead Wednesday in a plane crash near Moscow, was a Kremlin confident catapulted to infamy by Russia’s offensive in Ukraine before he turned his troops on Russia’s capital.
