Prigozhin’s plane reportedly lands in Belarus

The private plane of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Russian private military company Wagner, reportedly landed at the Machulishchy military airfield near Minsk, a monitoring group Belarusian Gayun, said on Telegram on Tuesday. The information has not yet been confirmed by other sources. 

 

Prigozhin’s whereabouts were unknown after June 24, when he halted his advance toward Moscow and pulled his fighters back. Following the developments, the Kremlin press secretary Peskov said that Prigozhin would go to Belarus. 

 

On June 26, Russian Telegram channels reported Prigozhin and his supporting fighters were already on the territory of Belarus, which Belarusian Gayun denied.
