Propagandist Dmitry Kiselev in his program "Vesti Nedeli" announced the total amount of contracts that the state concluded with PMC Wagner and the Concord holding Yevgeny Prigozhin.
According to him, the "Wagner Group" received 858 billion rubles from the state, and "Concorde" "provided services" in the amount of 845 billion rubles. Kiselev stressed that this “does not mean that they have earned so much, but still speaks of the scale of the business and the scale of ambitions.” Probably, we are talking about the funds received by Prigozhin's structures for the entire time of their existence.
On June 27, Vladimir Putin said that the Concorde company, which owns the PMC Wagner, earned 80 billion rubles on government contracts in a year. Then he expressed the hope that "no one stole anything or stole less, but we will deal with it all."
On July 1, it became known that the enterprises of the Concord catering holding Yevgeny Prigozhin, who supplied the Russian army with food, lost their contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, and their employees were fired without severance pay,
On June 30 , it was reported about the closure of Prigozhin's media holding "Patriot". It was created on the basis of a “troll factory” that has been operating since 2013, whose employees wrote comments on social networks in support of the government for money. It included RIA FAN, Narodnye Novosti, Nevskiye Novosti, Ekonomika Segodnya and many other publications. The employees of the media holding, most of whom were not formally registered, were fired.
After the military riot , arranged by Prigozhin and Wagner PMC fighters, his fate, like the future of the organization, was in question. Vladimir Putin publicly called Prigozhin a traitor and a traitor. PMC mercenaries were again offered to conclude a contract with the Ministry of Defense. Alexander Lukashenko said that Prigozhin himself and some of his mercenaries left for Belarus. There were reports that camps for the Wagnerites were already being built there. And the State Duma announced that Prigozhin's people would no longer take part in the war in Ukraine.
