Daily Mail: Wagner chief dismisses 'laughable' Washington Post story that he offered to provide Ukraine with Russian troop positions 

* Yevgeny Prigozhin was said to have made the offer in January in exchange for Kyiv to withdraw its forces around his fighters in Bakhmut 

* The Washington Post report was based on unverified US intelligence 

The head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group on Monday slammed reports that alleged he offered information on Russian troop positions to Ukraine as 'laughable' and a result of a possible smear campaign. 

Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin has in recent days sharpened his rhetoric against the Russian defence ministry, issuing scathing videos about Moscow's generals. 

Wagner fighters have spearheaded Moscow's fight for the east Ukrainian city of Bakhmut and Prigozhin's influence has skyrocketed since Moscow's offensive.

I read the Washington Post report yesterday, and I just laughed. But when I thought about it later, I wondered why did US intelligence, who fed the Washington Post this intel, decided to push this story out?

You tell me.
