—founder of the paramilitary outfit—is"highly likely pivoting recruitment efforts towards free Russian citizens." He appears to have lost access to recruiting in Russian prisons due to his ongoing disputes with the country's defense ministry leadership.
In September 2022, Prigozhin was seen in a leaked video recruiting soldiers from Russia's extensive penitentiary system, amid reports that the country was facing personnel shortages in Ukraine.
