Wagner CEO accuses Russian military of deceiving Putin on Ukraine losses.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of Wagner, a Russian private military company, has accused the Russian military of lying to President Vladimir Putin about setbacks in Ukraine. He claims that "total trash" is being put on Putin's desk and that Russia will one day wake up to find that Crimea has been handed over to Ukraine. The Russian defence ministry has repeatedly denied any setbacks in Ukraine, stating that its troops have repelled all attacks by Ukraine while inflicting heavy damage with only small losses.
