Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says the leader of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, has returned to Russia suggesting he’s in St. Petersburg.
He also says the offer to have Wagner fighters stationed in his country still stands.
Yevgeny Prigozhin had gone into exile in Belarus after his brief mutiny — in a deal agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
There has been much speculation in recent weeks regarding his whereabouts, with the mercenary leader not being seen in public since the mutiny.
Journalist Yulia Shapovalova is in Moscow for the latest updates.
And Pavel Felgenhauer is a Defense and Military Analyst he joins us on Skype from Moscow for his analysis.

Now the western media is preoccupied whether the wagner group is behaving according to krimlin or is it really this free to threaten the political administration. In my opinion there is something bizard happening in this story……ask yourself…how a small army of 25 000 solders can stand against 2 million Russian solders without fear of being killed in very short specifique time and inside the very existence of Russia .there must be something wrong ….there must be an important motifs…..I hope this war will get over …no one benefits from this war .its only a human rage and hate and revenge and this and that ……the humanity is really threatening the life of little kids
Prighozin would have taken moscow without fireing a shot.
Lukashenko told him he would be crushed like a bug!
@Yawos no. because russian soldiers are fed up with putin-s wars. Once he falls like all dictators all russia will abruptly be against him.
@tony borg Blah! Blah! Are Americans fed up with America’s poking their noses in other people’s business? You are so funny!
@Yawos you can’t let dictators kill people and US with out allies isolated will turn to stone age.
He is a brave man to return to Russia. Putin is shaking on Prigozhin can save Russia.
Is lukashenko prigozin’s spokesman??
Write me a poem about Wagner leader
O where, o where can he be?
He is not here, nor there, nor anywhere
He grows broke by the minute
All those boxes of rubles are now in Putin’s rooms
And his gold and diamonds too
Prigozhin dreams of being president of Russia
Are going up in smoke
Could he be singing to the CIA?
Is that why the CIA was in Kyiv last week?
What will happen to his men?
Ex-Russian military soldiers
Will they get to sleep in the Katyn Forest?
Prighozin and Putin tricked us, they made a plan to deliberately quarrel so that Prighozin can spy Ukraine and NATO
Putin is desperate. He needs these private troops. Even after they atracked the Russain army. What a dysfunctional army.
Into spider web😅
Russia has become the real life Cobra filled with villains, crazy plots, and retreats.
Snakes & ladders
The plan for CIA has failed to cause civil war in Russia i like the Rassians patriots
This man been intervied is so stupid and ignorant….he doesnt know what is talking about😂😂
6.5 bn paid to preghozin has gone CIA in shame
bcs it’s hollywood,
🪆🎵CIA needs to locate Prigozhin to kill him or say the payment is on the way, do not talk
The Russian parliament should immediately approve the use of tactical nuclear duohypermls against all the NATO bases surrounding Russia; NATO is killing your soldiers in an unfair fight in Ukraine, there is only one-way to stop this and future wars, destroying the main land of those countries that speak English and their associates, if they do not have a home to go back all their weapons around the world will be worthless. China, India, Arab countries, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, Brazil should follow the same plan, they want to destroy your countries assassinate or slave your people and steals your natural resources as they have done through history🥿📊
This was all planned by putin ! Also, the wagnor leader is the second in line to take the Russian crown 👑.. putin wants the people of Russia to know him, so he had to let him do a little coup .
I really can’t tell whether the interviewer is deliberately obtuse, or just plain stupid???🤔
Lukashenko is a puppet of Putin, Putin just using him for war advantages
He never exiled 🤔
He was never in Belarus!
If you believe anything coming from Belarus or Russia I’ll sell you a trip to see the Titanic in a self-made non approved sub for $250k.
And we have good reason to believe lukashenko yeah.
It’s all a drama.
Lukie Shake boy is a clown. That’s the only thing everyone can be 100% sure about in this.
Not matter where he is hidden, Putin will take care of him.
This is a fake story, Putin and Prighozin conflict is staged as enemy because Putin want to get off from the back of the tiger without scratched, Prighozin is the future leader of Russia for sure because no one can lead Russia to where it was before.
Prigozhin:
“The whole war is a hoax. Nothing with denazification, disarmament of Ukraine and Russians back to Russia.
All because of the personal needs of some russian scumbags!”
Talk about mercurial
Russia is just too confusing
I saw him at a 7-11 getting into a limo that Elvis was in the back seat of.
They supply comes from Moscow. So it can’t be deficult for Moscow to take on Preghozin
There’s definitely something wrong with this picture
“I have made thanksgivings, today I have fulfilled my vows.”
LIES LIES LIES AND MORE LIES FROM LUKASHENKO
Between Progoshin and P👀tin they are making total fools out of the media!🤣🤣🤣
The head of Wagner group is on “war-leave”
Shortest rebellion followed by shortest exile, everything is short in Russia (!?).
yes, mostly because of alcoholism
Prigozhin and Putin are lovers❤😂
he collected his Glock gun and favorite possession items. after that, he still not safe
It was a drama in real-time.
Putin probably got Prighozin’s family hostage so Prighozin going back to Russia like John Wick.
The journalist want to make him say what he wants to hear
The mess with Russia is hilarious!! The Wagner leader is not in Russia! Russia and Putin are falling apart! This is all a bunch of lies and this entire thing smell of fish!
Drama starring the baldies/baddies
He’s sleeping with the fishes
may they have taken him out silently and don’t want people to know
Lies do not believe
Do they expect everyone to believe this bs? 😂
I think Russia is losing war in Ukraine..and this is sad news to me and lovers of Vladimir Putin
Ya think!!!!!
They scam NATO😊
Western propaganda has ran out of imagination and ideas‼️‼️🥴🥴
😂😂😂😂this guy does not want to hear the truth😅
Dont make sense !!just listen to him preg can take a tour anywhere and he’s just seating watching international in dumbass
This is a ruse. No one should be fooled by this very clever play.
😂😂 This military “expert” and this imbecile of a presenter, reading stupid questions from a paper,
dont know what a MASKAROVKA is.
😲 What did the old man just do!? 🤦♂️ He only drink the tea that he himself makes. 😂😂
We all know he’s either dead already or going to be dead soon.
Wagner an the aussian leadre as to work out away to go forwrd to save russian
President Putin is smart
Prigozhin makes Putin look like a reasonable leader.
I was confused by the video so I came to the comments. Now I’m even more confused. 😳
What a fk are you specialist saying?? Prigojin is Putin’s greatest nightmare. And he’s a Russian resident.. he went home that’s all. Putin can’t touch the guy .. it’s the other way around. Helloo ?
So basically what you are telling us is that Russia is in chaos……we all knew this and really don’t care……stupid video!!🇨🇦
Scyop. Excelent. Russia. Wins.
Bet his gone to meet Putin for his next task they sure are playing with the West
Al Jazeera – just another western hate propaganda..
I think he is already 6 feet under. Putin will not allow opposition to his regime.
the whole mutiny was BS…. smoke and mirrors by Wagner and the Kremlin to play with the mind of the west…give them some space to develop strategy to blindside ukraine
yulia is a very hot chick
This’s not true. Watch out Putin
Lukashenko told you nitwits he was in Russia..But he might be elsewhere..just shut up..
Do you know what time it is today for us all to enjoy set up
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF CONFUSING YOUR ENEMY
Hahahahaha…… This is very dangerous
Pregosin is a traitor to Russia
Wagner need to be president
Go Wagner
Go Russia
Shot while attempting to escape.
Yevgeny Prigozhin will go after the weak, cowardly Putin, who surely fears for his life!
The only surprise would be to hear Prighozin was actually allowed to live in Belarus, everyone else figured Russia would make him disappear, which looks to be exactly what happened.
If we look at them as criminal organizations (Wagner and Putin), then all of this makes sense. These thugs want first to survive and with as much money as they can keep. So they cut deals, for now…
CIA is scammed by the Wagner Group. Offering 6BUSD to destabilize Russia didn’t go well for the Pentagon.
The last old man sounds like an idiot 😅
END OF HIM, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, NOW IT IS STILL KADYROV TO GO AND PUTIN AND HIS GENERALSTO GO
Yulia Shapovalova has a strong Fire Marshall Bill vibe.
Worst analyst. Even a child would not agree with his analysis.
❤
Nothing will happen to him in Russia Putin should know that two people can’t be wrong at the same time Russian should work together and put the enemy into shame.
Says who?
He’s on a special military operation in Russia..and how sure are you he’s even alive
He wanted to return coz Luka couldnt guarantee him closed windows 24/7😂😂🤣🤣
This is the best report ever that I’ve seen so far ! This is what I was saying even way back on the day that it was happening . If he really would have went into Moscow he could have took it over easily Russia would never I’ve survived it . He left Russia live . As the way it is right now . They also need him and his fighters his private army they’re way too valuable . His army is loyal to him they will fight to the death . They don’t want to be part of the Russian military . They can’t do anything shady and kill him . If that actually happened his troops would march on their own with vengeance ! He had a chance to destroy Russia the way it is easily but agreed to a ceasefire . Imagine if he was assassinated or killed . All his army troops would come instantly come alive and head up onto Moscow and would not agree to no ceasefire ! He basically has Russia’s President Putin by the balls . All he has to do is squeeze 😂.
All Putin oligarchs are Jewish, like Prighozin, that’s why Prighozin is free, and Putin is a progect of Russian Jewish.
❤Russia❤️Putin❤️
Westerns loosing it 😂
This could be part of a plan for Wagner to come to Belarus and then attack Ukraine together with the 25 thousand or so russian soldiers already station there.
Wagner it going to England to fight the British scombags
Inshallah Putin will win
