Kremlin says it is not tracking movements of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin
The Kremlin on Thursday said it was not tracking Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s movements after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who brokered a deal to end last month’s armed mutiny in Russia, said Prigozhin was no longer in Belarus.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that no date had yet been set for a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Lukashenko, and said he could not yet confirm details of what would be on the agenda. Lukashenko had earlier said that Prigozhin would be discussed.
