Russia's most powerful mercenary, Yevgeny Prigozhin, asks prosecutors to investigate whether senior Russian defence officials committed any 'crime' before or during the war in Ukraine.
He quipped last week that his nickname should be "Putin's butcher" rather than "Putin's chef".
In statements this week, he said he continued to inform the top leadership of the country about problems and slammed senior Kremlin officials for blocking media coverage of him and his private army. Mr Prigozhin's private army has been fighting alongside Russia's regular forces in Ukraine and spearheaded the months-long assault on the eastern city of Bakhmut which fell earlier this month.The UN is racing to extend a deal that has allowed for shipments of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea to parts of the world struggling with hunger.
