Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin has been spending time in Russia, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko said, despite a peace deal with Moscow under which he had agreed to relocate to Belarus.
Prigozhin’s Wagner Group fighters had also not yet relocated as the deal specified, Lukashenko claimed, while suggesting the mercenary leader was unlikely to face repercussions from the Kremlin. He said Prigozhin had been in St Petersburg but he did not know the warlord’s precise current location.
“With regards [to] Yevgeny Prigozhin, he is in St Petersburg,” Lukashenko said. “Where is he this morning? Maybe this morning he went to Moscow?.?.?.?”
