The Financial Times carries a picture of a body bag being carried away from the wreckage of the crashed jet in the Tver region, north of Moscow. The broadsheet leads with Putin breaking his silence to confirm the death of the Wagner chief. It reports the president expressed condolences to the family of the dead, as well as paying tribute personally to Prigozhin, calling him a “talented businessman”. It also covers the cost of the UK asylum system nearly doubling in the past year to almost £4bn.
