According to the American newspaper's report Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose warriors have led the battle for the eastern Ukrainian city, made the offer through his secret communication with Ukrainian intelligence, which he has maintained throughout the war.
The documents do not indicate which Russian positions Pgoxhin would have been abandoned.
The documents do not reveal the purpose of Prigozy to speak to his enemies, but it is not uncommon for warring countries to maintain a form of communication. However, Kiev reportedly rejected the offer because it did not trust the Wagner group chief.
According to another document, Prygozyni also told Ukraine that the Russian army was fighting ammunition and advised them to push towards the crime border.
On Monday, Wagner's founder through a post on the telegram has denied that he has offered Russian positions, while the Kremlin has declared that the report of “Washington Post” sounds like fraud.
During the battle for Bakhmut, the longest and bloodiest battle of the Ukrainian war, Prygozy has repeatedly attacked Russian military commanders, complaining that Moscow is not sending enough weapons to his fighters to take the city.
Last week, Wagner's leader threatened to withdraw his forces if more weapons were not sent to the front line, but later said he had been told they would be considered traitors if they left.
