A clip of a conversation reportedly between Russian music producer Iosif Prigozhin and billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov has circulated in RBC Ukraine and Channel 5, as well as social media.

In the clip, Akhmedov, an Azerbaijani-born former politician, described the Kremlin leader as a satanic figure and also slammed former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev.

"He is Satan. Totally vacuous," Akhmedov allegedly said of Putin, according to Ukrainska Pravda. Exiled Russian independent outlet Meduza reported that the clip was initially posted on March 7.

The European branch of Russian independent outlet Novaya Gazeta also reported the expletive-laden clip surfaced several weeks ago, including a link to the full video.
