Wagner chief is still in Russia, not Belarus: Lukashenko


Minsk (AFP) – Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is still in Russia, says Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Speaking to foreign media outlets in Minsk, the Moscow-allied leader explains “he is in Saint Petersburg. Perhaps he went to Moscow this morning. But he is not in Belarus”. Lukashenko’s comments come despite a deal between Prigozhin and the Kremlin for him to move to Belarus following his failed insurrection last month.
