In the aftermath of Prigozhin’s media empire collapse, former employees spoke out about the dark tactics employed, including hiring individuals to portray "victims of Ukrainian Armed Forces” in staged reports that underpinned Russia’s fake pretext for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – the manufactured “genocide in Donbas.”
Prigozhin himself during his little tantrum towards Moscow even said that the whole pretext (like in 2014 already) was just bs. I feel that is one of those details that got kinda swallowed in the news and didn’t got enough attention.
