The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

A number of intelligence sources, including those inside Russia, confirmed that Nikolai Petrushev was responsible for the assassination of Yevgeny Prigozhin. The Putin ally has also previously been linked to a number of high-profile assassinations, such as that of former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko, making his role in this case less surprising.

Wall Street Journal

Pro-Russia narrative

This type of poor, conspiratorial journalism is hardly worth commenting on. Russia had absolutely no involvement in this plane crash. Western media continue to fabricate stories with the aim of trying to damage Russia's reputation.
