Wagner denies the US press story that he offered to reveal Russian army positions. On Monday, Wagner private militia leader Yevgeny Prigozhin denied a Washington Post claim, citing a U.S. intelligence leak, that he had promised to give Russian army positions to the Ukrainian government.

Wagner’s troops led a brutal Russian assault on Bakhmut.

In January, the Post reported that Prigozhin gave Ukrainian intelligence the whereabouts of Russian forces, with whom his militia has often clashed, in exchange for Ukraine withdrawing from the area.

Ukraine rejected the offer, the outlet reported.

Yevgeny Prigozhin branded the claims “nonsense” and said that nameless inhabitants of Moscow’s Rublyovka area, home to numerous business and political elite, were plotting an attack on him.

Prigozhin denied meeting Kyrylo Budanov, chief of Ukrainian military intelligence, in an unspecified African location, stating he had not been in the continent since the Ukraine conflict began and laughing off the possibility of a phone call.

Last week, Prigozhin publicly threatened to withdraw his mercenaries from Bakhmut, where they had spearheaded the Russian onslaught for months at high fatalities, unless the defense ministry provided additional ammo. However, he added that doing so would make him and his guys traitors.

He has also accused the regular army of failing to secure Wagner’s flanks as promised and frequently stated that top Russian defense officials and corporate elites are sabotaging the military effort in Ukraine.

The Post stated that Prigozhin offered through his links with Ukraine’s intelligence service.

Based on secret U.S. documents leaked to Discord, the report was not commented on by a White House spokeswoman.
