In the summer of 2016, the publication Fontanka.ru linked Yevgeny Prigozhin with the head of the Wagner Group, Dmitry Utkin. Among the latter's entourage was the head of the security service of one of the entrepreneur's firms, Yevgeny Gulyayev[59]. According to The Bell, the PMC was financed by income from Yevgeny Prigozhin's government contracts.

In 2014-2015, the Wagner private military company participated in clashes in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Since autumn 2015, the Wagner PMC has been participating in the Syrian campaign, in particular, it participated in the liberation of Palmyra. In June 2017, the Wagner PMC was included in the US sanctions list. The investigation of the Wagner PMC activities in the CAR was carried out by journalists Orkhan Dzhemal, Alexander Rastorguev and Kirill Radchenko, who died during the investigation in the country. Many media outlets, public figures and organizations (including Dzhemal's close friend Maksim Shevchenko) linked the deaths of the journalists with the activities of Prigozhin, who denies his involvement in their murder. In 2019, Dossier and MBKh-Media reported on a film being prepared by Prigozhin’s structures about the work of the PMC in the CAR, which depicted the activities of the Wagner Group as peacekeeping. Prigozhin's structures are also linked to the training of the Syrian army's special forces "ISIS Hunters"
