Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary force, offered to reveal the position of Russian troops to the Ukranian government, the Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing leaked US intelligence documents.

Wagner's soldiers have been at the forefront of a bloody Russian offensive to take the city of Bakhmut. In exchange for Ukraine withdrawing its soldiers from the area, Prigozhin in January offered to tell its intelligence service the positions of Russian forces, the Post reported. The paper said Ukraine rejected the offer.

Prigozhin must have a death wish or something?!!!

This will not go over well with Putin and Russia. Things are getting interesting here.

I suspect Prigozhin's life on this earth is about over.

You will be mulch if you go against Vlad. Wagner's head has been making poor decisions. There are also rumors of some political ambition on his part.

This is one of the major problems with hiring out for what is arguably a State function (military) that must remain under government command-and-control.

Whether one is government or contractor, treason is never acceptable. If for no other reason than Soldiers in any army deserve better.

The die is cast and now Prigozhin has to follow through. He can't do it without the Russian Orthodox Church support, and I don't see the Patriarch withdrawing his support from President Putin. Of course, if something in the ROC hierarchy changed . . . Prigozhin's only viable strategy is if he can get the Russian populace behind him, and with the huge casualties, this isn't impossible. And he'll still need ROC support to do this . . and/or maybe the Russian drug/crime lords/organizations. Sounds like 1917 with shifting alliances and serious consequences for wrong choices.
