What a load of bollox that is, Russia now saying Prigozhin still under investigation and there's still no evidence he's in Belarus. Imo the idea that Wagner will attack Ukraine from Belarus is nonsense, Putin wants them disbanded, not a full blown army operating out of Belarus.Quote:

Sounds ominous "When Yevgeny Prigozhin left Rostov late on Saturday night it was understood that he had been granted amnesty in Belarus in exchange for calling off his attempted coup. But since then, he has not been seen publicly and his current whereabouts are unknown. Now, Russian state media is reporting that, contrary to reports, the criminal case against him was not dropped and remains very much live".Quote:
