Mercenary Group, Wagner Leader Prigozhin Remains In Russia Despite President Putin’s Order
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of a private military group, Wagner has been alleged of ignoring the orders from Russian President, Vladimir Putin, to move to Belarus.
It was learnt that the Wenger boss, Prigozhin is still in Russia despite Putin’s subsisting order, the Mirror has reported.
Prigozhin and his team have also not left the camps they stayed in before the attempted coup against Moscow last month.
Recall that Wagner mercenaries left Ukraine to seize a military headquarters in a southern Russian city and rolled troops for hundreds of miles toward Moscow where they captured the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and sent tanks to the capital, but after less than 24 hours they turned around.
In a compromise arranged by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to halt the mutiny, Prigozhin received a legal reprieve.
It let Prigozhin and his forces to flee to Belarus, which Lukashenko confirmed last week.
However, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced that: “As for Prigozhin, he’s in St Petersburg. He is not on the territory of Belarus.”
He said that his offer to station fighters in Belarus is still valid, but added, “As far as I am informed this morning, fighters are in their camps.” They were in permanent camps following their retreat from the front for rehabilitation.”
He also stated that he was not concerned about the mercenaries turning against Belarus at any point and that they might be employed to protect the country instead.
Meanwhile, during a raid by Russian security forces, unusual disguises, an alligator, and even decapitated heads were discovered in the St Petersburg residence of Prigozhin.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) claims to have discovered pistols, ammunition, gold bars, a stuffed alligator, and a wig cabinet in the residence where he escaped.
During the FSB search, they also discovered a famed photo of the severed heads “of Wagner traitors”.
Also among the items was a wardrobe full of wigs which were likely once disguises for the bald brute.
