Vladimir Putin has sent his condolences to the family of the Wagner group head, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Kremlin has said, adding that it did not know when the warlord’s funeral would take place and whether the Russian president would attend.

“The Kremlin does not yet have information about the format and date of Prigozhin’s funeral, so there can be no answer to the question of whether Putin will attend it,” Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said, speaking to journalists during his daily call.
