Wagner Chief's Betrayal: Offering Russian Troop Locations to Ukraine.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, has denied reports that he offered information on Russian troop positions to Ukraine in exchange for Kyiv's withdrawal from Bakhmut. The Washington Post reported that Prigozhin made the offer to Ukraine's military intelligence directorate in late January amid intelligence indicating high losses and low morale among Wagner troops. Prigozhin laughed off the report, calling it "laughable" and a possible smear campaign. The Kremlin said it believed the report "looks fake."
