Prigozhin's Political Ambitions Fueled by Wagner Scandal and Power Grab.

The Wagner group, known for carrying out the Kremlin's "de-Nazification" mission in Ukraine, is reportedly being led by a neo-Nazi named Dmitry Utkin, who signs off on correspondence with the symbol for the SS Nazi military unit and has a fondness for Nazism. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin did not deny Utkin's apparent neo-Nazi beliefs, instead stating that "in order to defeat Nazism, you must try it on yourself." Prigozhin also claimed that Utkin has a map of the Moscow Metro tattooed on his penis, visible to anyone who "sucks" on it. Ukrainian military intelligence previously identified Utkin as the real leader of Wagner, making all command decisions behind the scenes while Prigozhin serves as the public face of the group.
