The documents provided extensive intelligence gathered on the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>  According to the Post report on those leaked documents, Prigozhin in January offered to tell Ukraine where Russian troops were located in exchange for loosening its chokehold on Bakhmut.<\/p>\n<p> The Post report said Prigozhin has maintained secret contacts with the Ukrainian military.<\/p>\n<p>   The report, citing Ukrainian and U.S. officials who were not named, said the offer was greeted with skepticism about Prigozhin\u2019s motives and trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>    The leaked intelligence documents show Prigozhin complaining about the toll the fight for Bakhmut has taken on his mercenaries and urging Ukraine to hit Russian troops harder.<\/p>\n<p>  Will Russia sue for peace with Ukraine?<\/p>\n<p>     In one leaked document, Prigozhin is characterized as urging an attack on Russian forces in Crimea due to low Russian morale.<\/p>\n<p> Although the Post report noted that Prigozhin has taken some of his frustration with Putin public, it noted that Putin \u201cmight well regard Prigozhin\u2019s offer to trade the lives of Wagner fighters for Russian soldiers as a treasonous betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Last week, Prigozhin publicly vented about the lack of ammunition flowing to his mercenaries and used vulgarities to speak of Russian leaders, according to Newsweek.<\/p>\n<p>  Tatiana Stanovaya, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, said Prigozhin has no access to Putin.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe only way to express his dissent, disagreement, his anger, is to go public. That is why he has to post so many videos where he shows how fierce he is and how things have gone wrong, how difficult it is for him and his guys,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>  Writing for the Spectator, Sergey Radchenko said Prigozhin\u2019s anti-Kremlin comments erode Putin\u2019s standing.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIt does not actually matter if Prigozhin\u2019s rants are a part of some Kremlin conspiracy to rein in the military, or simply a reflection of Prigozhin\u2019s own frustrations and ambitions. What matters is the image he is projecting. This image is not favorable to Putin. It is an image of bourgeoning chaos, weakness, and of Putin\u2019s inability to reconcile competing interests of warring factions. It is an image of Putin in terminal decline,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>    On Monday, Ukraine reported that it had achieved some success in pushing back Russian forces around Bakhmut, which Russia has been trying to conquer for 15 months, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Jack Davis is a freelance writer who joined The Western Journal in July 2015 and chronicled the campaign that saw President Donald Trump elected.
