Lukashenko says Wagner group to stay in Belarus after Prigozhin's presumed death
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko says that members of the Wagner mercenary group will remain in his country, after the presumed death of their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash on August 23.
"Wagner lives, Wagner has lived and Wagner will live in Belarus" he says, suggesting that Wagner fighters, who were offered exile in his country following a short-lived uprising against Russia's military leadership, have continued to gather in Belarus and estimated their numbers to be around 10,000.
