Russia has confirmed the death of Wagner leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in a plane crash on Wednesday.

Speaking to Sky News, former Senior British Military intelligence and security officer, Philip Ingram, said it was "almost certainly an assassination by Russian intelligence".

He added that Russia would not admit to the killing of Prigozhin, alongside his right-hand man, but he was increasingly becoming a "political opponent" of Putin.
