He said that he had served out his contract for a little under half a year and received a medal for bravery. Wagner's founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said Dmitry Peskov had approached him and asked him to take his son on as an artilleryman. Dmitry Peskov was sanctioned by the United States shortly after the war, along with his wife and two adult children, Nikolai and Elizaveta.
