「Putin calls Prigozhin ‘a talented man who made serious mistakes’」: ?

Putin broke his silence almost 24 hours after Prigozhin’s private jet was brought down by what is believed to be a bomb, killing the mercenary leader and his top deputies.

かもしれませんが、なんか変。

The West believes Putin ordered the killing, and on Thursday a British security source said the incident had left the president with “a quasi private army at hand”.

まー　そうでしょうね。

In short speech from inside the Kremlin on Thursday night, Putin said Prigozhin had made a “great contribution” to the war in Ukraine. The president added that an investigation into the crash was under way.

さて、どんな結果何だか？

It came as Russian security sources and propagandists blamed Ukraine for the killing. Early US intelligence assessments have concluded that a bomb exploded on the private jet or that some other kind of sabotage caused the crash, which happened between Moscow and St Petersburg.

予想の範囲内。

On Thursday night, the Pentagon said there was “no evidence to suggest” that a surface-to-air missile had brought down the plane.

実際は、どうなんだか？

Poland warned that Wagner could become more dangerous after the death of Progozhin. Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister, said: “The Wagner Group comes under Putin’s leadership. 
＆
British sources agreed with the assessment. “The plus for Putin is he will feel emboldened and will now have a quasi private army at hand,” said one security source.

確かに。

Russia is keen to build the Brics group – which currently comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – into a more influential bloc able to challenge the West.

これは、真実です。実際、イランなどを入れた拡大路線ですしね～。　＄の足元も揺らいでいます。　　サウジアラビアなども、中国に続き米国国債を売却しているという噂が市場に溢れています。

The Russian president said he was interested in deepening ties with Africa, which has suffered fuel and food price rises resulting from the war in Ukraine.

西側の方が聞いたら驚くでしょうけど、本気でこんな考えもお持ちです。

Meanwhile, Jake Sullivan, the US National Security Adviser, held talks with his counterparts from France, Germany, Italy and the UK on Thursday at which they discussed ways to hold Russia accountable for the war.

同意します。

Residents of Kuzhenkino, where the crash happened, said they had heard a bang before the plane plummeted to the ground. It had shown no sign of a problem until a precipitous drop in its final 30 seconds, according to flight-tracking data.
＆
One villager, who gave his name as Anatoly, said: “It wasn’t thunder, it was a metallic bang – let’s put it that way.”

へ〜。この辺りが今回のキーデスね。

Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, said: “We had nothing to do with it. Everybody realises who has something to do with it.”

同意します。　　そもそも、そんな余裕はないでしょう。

Vladimir Osechkin, of Gulagu.net, a Russian prisoners’ rights group, told the Washington Post that members of the Wagner Group were in shock. “The commanders don’t know what to do and what to tell their fighters. Everything was centred on Prigozhin and his connections,” he said.

プリゴジンさんも予告出来たはずですが、何も策を残していないんですかね～？

Offering the Prigozhin family his “condolences”, Putin warned that he investigation into the crash would “take some time”. “He was a talented man, a talented businessman,” he said of the man he is widely suspected of assassinating.

こんなもんです。

Wagner sources had told him those on the plane were on their way to an important meeting about the group’s future and

believed “they really had” come to terms with Putin.　＜ー

なるほど、飛行機に乗ればリスクがあることがわかっていても乗らざろ得なかったということですか？　そりゃ、（予測ですが）爆弾を仕掛けるのも簡単でしょう。スケジュールがバレバレですからね。

謎が解けました。
