Speaking from the mercenary force’s new headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, the former anchorwoman claimed that she won the leadership of Wagner by a landslide.

She warned Russian state media against questioning her claim to the Wagner helm. “I will be your worst frickin’ nightmare,” she said.

Wagner troops expressed surprise at Lake’s sudden elevation and reservations about whether she would be an improvement over their former leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin. “She seems really mean,” one said.

"Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former hot dog seller turned Wager leader, met with Russian President Vladimir Putin days after his brief mutiny, the Kremlin has claimed.

Putin is said to have met with Prigozhin and his commanders on June 29 – five days after Wagner troops marched towards Moscow and seized Rostov-on-Don.

The three-hour meeting, first reported by the French newspaper Libération, saw 35 people invited, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said."
