Wagner chief Prigozhin is in Belarus, Lukashenko says

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has arrived in Belarus, the country’s authoritarian ruler Alexander Lukashenko said Tuesday.

“Yes, indeed, he is in Belarus today,” Lukashenko said, according to Belarusian state-owned news agency Belta.

Prigozhin was exiled from Russia after leading an aborted mutiny by his Wagner Group forces against President Vladimir Putin last weekend.
