“Wagner boss visits soldiers in Bachmoet and congratulates them for lashing out at Russian army chief”

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian oligarch and founder of the Wagner mercenary army, is said to have visited Wagner soldiers fighting in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bachmut. Images of the so-called visit are circulating on social media, but have not been independently verified. Prigozhin is also said to have offered his congratulations to the soldiers who lashed out at Russian army chief of staff Valery Gerasimov yesterday. According to certain sources, this may indicate an increasing power struggle between the two top Russian figures.
