Yevgeny Prigozhin has denied that he offered Ukraine information on the location of Russian troops in order to attack them. According to documents leaked by the Discord platform and cited by the Washington Post, at the end of January he would have launched that offer during a trip to Africa.

The media later removed the paragraph that mentioned Africa as the meeting place with the Ukrainian side. The head of the paramilitary group again resorted to irony by recommending to his political enemies in Russia that they hire for these purposes the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
