A video has emerged on Telegram channels linked to the Wagner mercenary group that appears to show its boss Yevgeny Prigozhin in Belarus.
This is Prigozhin’s first public appearance since the Wagner chief led an armed rebellion in Russia in June.
The footage, reposted by his press service, is the first video evidence of Prigozhin's whereabouts since the night of the mutiny. Yevgeny Prigozhin says in the video that “there will be no more fighting in Ukraine for now” and calls recent war developments a “disgrace”.
In the video, Prigozhin seemed to maintain his criticism of the Russian Ministry of Defence’s planning and execution in Ukraine.
While saying that the Wagner group has to prepare for Africa, Prigozhin hinted that they may rejoin the war in Ukraine later.
Watch this video to know what are Prigozhin's plans after leaving Russia.
