Former President of the United States of America George W. Bush said in an interview that he was very shocked.
This happened after the ex-president saw a published photograph from back in 2006, where Yevgeny Prigozhin was standing next to him.
Footage published online shows a meeting of politicians from the G8 summit in St. Petersburg.
At that time, the head of the Wagner mercenaries, Yevgeny Prigozhin, worked as a servant of the Russian dictator Putin.
After which, Prigozhin began to be called Putin’s “cook.”
Journalists asked Bush if he was shocked by the news of Prigozhin’s recent death in a plane crash.
“No, what shocks me is that the other day I saw a photo from the G8 summit in St. Petersburg where he was the guy who served me food,” the US ex-president said.
