Wagner Boss Prigozhin Spotted Back in Russia, Lukashenko Confirms
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has dropped a bombshell: Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the infamous Wagner mercenary group, is back in Russia. His whereabouts had been murky since his dramatic armed rebellion in southern Russia last month.
Mutiny Deal Let Prigozhin Off the Hook
After Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny, charges against him were mysteriously dropped. He was expected to move to Belarus as part of a deal orchestrated by Lukashenko himself. The Belarusian leader’s mediation was key to ending the rebellion swiftly.

What’s Next for Prigozhin?
Lukashenko’s revelation clears the fog on Prigozhin’s post-rebellion location but leaves many questions unanswered. Details on why he’s now back in Russia and what happened to his Belarusian exile remain tightly under wraps.
