Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of Wagner Group, arrives in Belarus after failed mutiny in Russia

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed Prigozhin's arrival and revealed that he had warned Prigozhin that if he continued his march into the Russian capital, his soldiers would be obliterated.

Lukashenko also had a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prigozhin over the weekend, discussing the events of the failed mutiny.

Lukashenko stated that the Belarusian military can benefit from the combat experience of the Wagner Group fighters, and the group could report on which weapons worked well and how attack and defence could be conducted successfully.
