Yevgeny Prigozhin's decision to launch a mutiny against Moscow may have been motivated by an ongoing journey with cancer, a new report has claimed tonight.
The oligarch's former employees have said the 62-year-old man has undergone treatment for stomach cancer. They told this, though, to a publication now banned in Russia and claimed Prigozhin had little to lose with Wagner Group's march towards Moscow.
It ended in a dramatic U-turn as, in late June, Prigozhin accepted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's proposal to stop the advance.
