Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin is no longer in Belarus, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday, adding: “He is in St. Petersburg.” On the same day, a Russian bomb blast in Lvov, a city in western Ukraine, killed five people.
The rocket destroyed the roof and the top floor of the building in what was the largest attack on civilian targets in Lviv, located far from the front line and only 70 km from the border with Poland and NATO.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed revenge. “There will be a very visible response,” he said.
As for Prigozhin, the protagonist of the June riot against Putin, he was indeed spotted in St. Petersburg, where his company is headquartered. Even before Lukashenka mentioned his trip to Russia, the Russian website Fontanka reported that on Tuesday he was seen entering the FSB headquarters in that city, and later left with several weapons, possibly those seized from him on 24 June.
Lukashenka also said that thousands of mercenaries who allegedly left for his country are still in their bases. “Whether they will come and in what quantity will be decided in the near future,” he said.
