Russian billionaire Yevgeny Prigozhin’s spat with the country’s defence officials is approaching a crucial moment, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said. President Vladimir Putin recently called for members of volunteer formations such as the Wagner Group, which has played a key role in Russia’s bid to capture parts of eastern Ukraine, to have their contracts with the defence ministry signed by 1 July. This was rejected by Prigozhin, an ally of Putin who believes his fighters have been deprived of support. The MoD called Putin’s deadline a [key] way-point in the feud.
