Russia will likely officially announce that the cause of the crash of the plane belonging to the founder of the private military company Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, was supposedly due to a technical malfunction, shares Oleksandr Musiienko, the Head of the Сenter of Military Law Researches, in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.
"I'm almost certain they will say that due to Western sanctions against Russian aviation, there was no access to certain spare parts and components. Therefore, the plane caught fire in the air, exploded, and crashed, and so on," he noted.
According to Musiienko, the official version will consist of similar claims.
