The husband of the daughter of producer Joseph Prigozhin, Danai Yevgeny Tkachenko, was declared dead in the zone of a special military operation. This fact was confirmed by the producer himself.

"Yes, there is a court decision (on recognizing Tkachenko as deceased), unfortunately, this is so," Prigozhin told the RBC portal.

The publication clarifies that Danaya and Yevgeny Tkachenko got married in 2022, in the summer the couple had a son. According to Prigozhin, his son—in-law received a summons after the announcement of partial mobilization in September 2022 - then Tkachenko was 25 years old.

In November 2023, he went to the front. After a couple of months, the producer's son-in-law stopped contacting.

According to the telegram channel Mash, Tkachenko was a machine-gun scout with the call sign Panda in Osipovka on Kupyansk direction.
