เจ้าหน้าที่เพนตากอนกล่าวว่าการอ้างขีปนาวุธจากพื้นสู่อากาศเกี่ยวกับเครื่องบิน Prigozhin นั้น 'ไม่ถูกต้อง'
ไรเดอร์กล่าวว่าเพนตากอนไม่มีข้อบ่งชี้ว่าเครื่องบินที่บรรทุกพรีโกซินถูกยิงตกด้วยขีปนาวุธจากพื้นสู่อากาศ “เราประเมินว่าข้อมูลดังกล่าวไม่ถูกต้อง” ไรเดอร์กล่าวถึงรายงานข่าวว่าเครื่องบินเอ็มบราเออร์ถูกโจมตีด้วยขีปนาวุธจากพื้นสู่อากาศ
นอกจากนี้เขายังกล่าวด้วยว่าเพนตากอนคิดว่ามีแนวโน้มว่าปริโกซินจะเสียชีวิตแล้ว แต่ไม่ได้ยืนยันเรื่องนี้

Pentagon spokesperson Brig Gen Pat Ryder said the Pentagon had no indication that the plane carrying Yevgeny Prigozhin was brought down by a surface-to-air missile. “We assess that information to be inaccurate,” Ryder said of press reports that the Embraer plane was hit by surface-to-air missiles.
\n The US will begin F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots in October. “Following English language training for pilots in September, F-16 flying training is expected to begin in October at Morris air national guard base in Tucson, Arizona, facilitated by the air national guard’s 162nd wing,” Ryder said.
\n Russia will return to the Black Sea grain deal only if the west fulfills its obligations to Moscow, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told the UN secretary general António Guterres.
\n Russia has extended the detention of the Wall Street Journal correspondent Evan Gershkovich by three months. He was the first journalist arrested by Russian authorities on allegations of spying since the Cold War.
\n Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Kyiv had nothing to do with the presumed death of Yevgeny Prigozhin.
\n An early morning missile strike injured seven people in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Serhiy Lisak, said on Thursday.
\n France said on Thursday there were “reasonable doubts” about the cause of the plane crash that was presumed to have killed Yevgeny Prigozhin.
\n Norway has decided to donate combat aircraft to Ukraine, the Norwegian broadcaster TV2 reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources.
\n The presumed death of Yevgeny Prigozhin follows a pattern of “unclarified” fatalities in Russia, Germany’s foreign minister said on Thursday, adding that it was no coincidence that focus had turned to the Kremlin for answers.

Flightradar24 online tracking showed the Embraer Legacy 600 (plane number RA-02795) dropped off the radar at 6.11pm Moscow time. An unverified video clip posted to social media showed a plane resembling a private jet falling out of the sky. Another unverified clip showed burning wreckage on the ground.
\n The cause of the crash was not immediately clear, but Prigozhin’s allies quickly accused the Russian defence ministry of assassinating him. Grey Zone, a Telegram channel with more than 500,000 subscribers linked to Wagner, hailed him a hero and a patriot who had died at the hands of unidentified people it called “traitors to Russia”.
\n Russian investigators opened a criminal investigation. Unnamed sources told Russian media they believed the plane had been shot down by one or more surface-to-air missiles, according to Reuters. Neither Reuters nor the Guardian could confirm that.
\n The other five passengers were named as Sergey Propustin, Evgeniy Makaryan, Aleksandr Totmin, Valeriy Chekalov and Nikolay Matuseev. The crew were named as Commander Aleksei Levshin, co-pilot Rustam Karimov and flight attendant Kristina Raspopova.
\n In addition to Utkin, Prigozhin had been accompanied on the plane by a cameraman, Wagner’s logistics manager, and Prigozhin’s personal security detail, according to Fontanka, a St Petersburg news outlet that has covered Prigozhin’s operations extensively.
\n The plane showed no sign of problems until a precipitous drop in its final 30 seconds, according to flight-tracking data. It made a “sudden downward vertical”, said Ian Petchenik of Flightradar24. Within about 30 seconds it plummeted more than 8,000 feet from its cruising altitude of 28,000 feet. “Whatever happened, happened quickly,” Petchenik said.
\n The type of jet has a good safety record, with only one recorded accident in more than 20 years of service, and that was not related to mechanical failure. Embraer said it was aware of a plane crash in Russia involving a Legacy 600 aircraft but it did not have further information about the case and had not been providing support services for the jet since 2019, when the plane was placed under international sanctions.
\n There was little surprise abroad over Prigozhin’s apparent death. After a briefing on the incident, the US president, Joe Biden, said: “I don’t know for a fact what happened. But I’m not surprised … There is not much that happens in Russia that Putin is not behind, but I don’t know enough to know the answer.”
\n Russia meanwhile has also relieved Gen Sergei Surovikin of his command of the Russian aerospace forces, in the highest-level sacking yet of a military commander after Prigozhin’s abortive mutiny. Surovikin was seen as an ally of Wagner in the defence ministry and questions had been asked about whether he or other senior commanders aided the mutiny or had prior knowledge of Prigozhin’s plans.
\n A Russian military pilot has reportedly defected with his helicopter to Ukraine after a six-month intelligence operation. A Russian military blogger said a helicopter crossed the border with three people on board “a couple of weeks ago” but claimed the aircraft had lost its way. Ukrainian officials appeared to confirm that the aircraft had landed in Ukraine but did not give any further details.

แต่ประชาชนชาวยูเครนยังคงไม่ย่อท้อ และยูเครนก็ต่อสู้กลับอย่างกล้าหาญเพื่อยึดดินแดนอธิปไตยกลับคืนมาและปกป้องพลเมืองของตน
สหรัฐอเมริกาภูมิใจที่ได้ยืนหยัดเคียงข้างยูเครน และเราจะดำเนินการเพื่อให้แน่ใจว่ายูเครนมีสิ่งที่จำเป็นในการต่อสู้เพื่ออิสรภาพของตน”

“พวกเขากำลังมีความก้าวหน้าในแนวหน้า แต่มันจะยากและจะยังคงยากต่อไปด้วยเหตุผลทั้งหมดที่เราได้พูดคุยกัน ไม่ใช่อย่างน้อยที่สุดก็คืออุปสรรคสำคัญในการรวมทุ่นระเบิดด้วย จุดมุ่งเน้นของเราคือการให้คำปรึกษากับพวกเขาและรับรองว่าพวกเขามีสิ่งที่ต้องการเพื่อประสบความสำเร็จในสนามรบ”

“เรากำลังพูดถึงเดือน ไม่ใช่สัปดาห์ … นี่เป็นเรื่องเกี่ยวกับการสนับสนุนระยะยาวยูเครน. นี่ไม่เกี่ยวกับการตอบโต้ที่พวกเขากำลังดำเนินการอยู่ในขณะนี้” เขากล่าวเสริม
