RUSSIAN SOURCES say that President Vladimir Putin has bought Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin a ticket for a submersible trip to the Titanic.

“Hey, the man deserves it,” a Russian Defence Ministry spokesman said.

“It’s $250,000 well spent,” said a Kremlin insider.

“We were lucky, they can just squeeze him in,” said a Moscow travel agent.
