Wagner chief is still in Russia, not Belarus: Lukashenko

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.
