Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday alluded to a potential probe into claims that billions of rubles of state funds were spent on Wagner, saying “we” will “deal with that.”
In an address to security personnel in Moscow, Putin claimed the mercenary group had been completely funded by the Russian state, with 86 billion rubles (about $1 billion) funneled to the group in the past 12 months. Putin also claimed the Concord company, owned by Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, received 80 billion rubles from Moscow for supplying food and providing food services.
