The executed Ukrainian POW has a name: Tymofiy Mykolayovych Shadura

As per Ukraine's General Staff and passed through autotranslate:

"The shooting of an unarmed prisoner is a cynical and brazen disregard for the norms of international humanitarian law and the customs of war. This is what worthless murderers do, but not warriors. The Russian occupiers have once again testified that their main goal in Ukraine is the brutal extermination of Ukrainians.

The identity of the courageous Ukrainian soldier has been established in advance.
According to preliminary data, the deceased is a serviceman of the 30th separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky Operational Command "North" Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Tymofiy Mykolayovych Shadura.

The final answer will be given by appropriate examinations.

No death of our warrior will go unpunished. But we will do it in a legal and fair way - on the battlefield, in court or in an international tribunal.

With a cool head, with observance of the rules of war and with honor, we will surely take revenge for everyone!

Eternal memory and Glory to the Hero!"

Guess that settles the question about the POW's name. Earlier he was identified as Tymofiy Shadura.

Weird how another tweet by that account claims (incorrectly) they are in Ukraine already. The correct tweet was made later, but on their profile I only see the older, incorrect one. Of course, Twitter is constantly breaking down lately, might just be that.

Wagner chief offered to give Russian troop locations to Ukraine, leak says

[...]

Prigozhin said that if Ukraine’s commanders withdrew their soldiers from the area around Bakhmut, he would give Kyiv information on Russian troop positions, which Ukraine could use to attack them. Prigozhin conveyed the proposal to his contacts in Ukraine’s military intelligence directorate, with whom he has maintained secret communications during the course of the war, according to previously unreported U.S. intelligence documents leaked on the group-chat platform Discord.

[...]

According to one document, Prigozhin told a Ukrainian intelligence officer that the Russian military was struggling with ammunition supplies. He advised Ukrainian forces to push forward with an assault on the border of Crimea, which Russia has illegally annexed, while Russian troop morale was low. The report also referred to other intelligence noting that Prigozhin was aware of plummeting morale among Wagner forces and that some of his fighters had balked at orders to deploy in the Bakhmut area under heavy fire, for fear of suffering more casualties.
