Wagner leader allegedly offered to reveal Russian troop positions to Ukraine.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner mercenary group, allegedly offered to reveal Russian troop positions to Ukrainian intelligence in exchange for Ukrainian forces pulling out of Bakhmut. The offer was reportedly made in January, but Ukrainian intelligence rejected it due to a lack of trust in Prigozhin. Wagner fighters have been leading the campaign to capture Bakhmut, which has been dubbed a "meat grinder" due to the intensity of the fighting. Prigozhin has been openly feuding with top Russian military officials and has accused them of betraying his men. He has denied the allegations made in the Washington Post report.
