Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Russia's Wagner private militia, on Monday dismissed a report in the Washington Post, sourced to a U.S. intelligence leak, that he had offered to reveal the position of Russian troops to the Ukrainian government.
Wagner's soldiers have been at the forefront of a bloody Russian offensive to take the city of Bakhmut.
Prigozhin also denied having met Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukrainian military intelligence, in an unnamed African country, saying he had not been in the continent since the start of the Ukraine conflict and portraying the idea of a phone call with him as laughable. He has also accused the regular army of failing to defend Wagner's flanks as it had promised, and has repeatedly suggested that top Russian defence officials and business elites are undermining the military effort in Ukraine.
