A Russian ex-commander said Wagner boss should be tried for "treason" over his latest anti-war tirade.
Prigozhin posted a video on Friday calling the war a "racket" used to line oligarchs' pockets.
"The war wasn't needed to return Russian citizens to our bosom, nor to demilitarize or denazify Ukraine," Prigozhin said in the video, according to The New York Times.
And that rant ticked off Igor Girkin, the former commander of another Russian paramilitary group, and an ultranationalist who is also highly critical of Prigozhin and Russia's strategy.
"Prigozhin already should have been handed over to a military tribunal for many things," Girkin wrote in a Telegram post on Friday, which was translated by The New York Times.
