<p>Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin has arrived in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/belarus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Belarus</a> following a brief uprising in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/russia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia</a>, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Yes, indeed, he is in Belarus today,” Lukashenko said of Prigozhin, according to <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/wagner-boss-prigozhin-is-in-belarus-official/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multiple reports</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/27/belarus-exiled-wagner-chief-yevgeny-prigozhin-russia-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">that cited</a> Belarusian state media.</p>
<p>A deal to end the rebellion over the weekend, for which Lukashenko has been <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/06/26/lukashenko-wagner-prigozhin-putin-belarus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">credited with mediating</a>, gave Prigozhin and his fighters the option of exile in Belarus after they stopped their march on Moscow.</p>
<p>After <a href="https://www.wsj.com/video/series/on-the-news/watch-wagner-leader-cheered-while-leaving-rostov/F4AC0338-2994-40D1-B929-460DA11D04F9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving the southern Russian city</a> of Rostov on Saturday, Prigozhin&#8217;s exact whereabouts became unclear in the days that followed, though he did deliver an audio message on Monday that defended Wagner&#8217;s revolt, which appears to center on a standoff with Russia’s military leadership and their handling of the war in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) said <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitchell-reports/watch/sen-mark-warner-prigozhin-says-he-s-in-minsk-in-a-hotel-that-doesn-t-have-any-windows-185150533609" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports claimed that Prigozhin</a> was in a Minsk hotel without any windows, underscoring a possible fear of being defenestrated.</p>
<p>John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-says-u-s-wont-take-sides-in-russias-wagner-uprising" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told reporters on Monday</a> that he did not know where Prigozhin was located.</p>
<p>By Tuesday, <a href="https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/ra-02795#30e3dff3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flight trackers</a> and <a href="https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-06-27-23/h_d843a46ee7ebe06270367842e05cf302" target="_blank" rel="noopener">satellite data</a> indicated two planes belonging to Prigozhin landed at a base outside the Belarusian capital of Minsk.</p>
<p>In addition to declaring Prigozhin&#8217;s arrival in Belarus, Lukashenko reportedly said at least some Wagner members are invited to stay at an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/27/world/russia-ukraine-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;abandoned&#8221; base</a> in his country and touted their <a href="https://tass.com/defense/1639319" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;invaluable&#8221; experience</a>. The Belarusian leader also claimed he talked Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/lukashenko-explains-convinced-putin-not-132206593.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">out of escalating the conflict</a>.</p>
<p>Some leaders in the region voiced concerns about Wagner&#8217;s presence in Belarus.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Wagner deploys its serial killers in Belarus, all neighboring countries face even bigger danger of instability,&#8221; <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20230627-%F0%9F%94%B4-live-russia-conducts-fighter-jet-drills-over-baltic-sea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda</a>.</p>
<p>Although Russia <a href="https://tass.com/politics/1639005" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dropped criminal mutiny charges</a> against Wagner members and said they would <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/27/world/europe/russia-prigozhin-wagner-charges.html#:~:text=The%20Russian%20authorities%20said%20that,thousands%20of%20fighters%20was%20unclear." target="_blank" rel="noopener">hand over military equipment</a>, Putin said in a speech on Monday that the organizers of the rebellion would be &#8220;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/26/putin-says-russia-mutiny-organizers-will-face-justice.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brought to justice</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Putin also <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-reepels-russian-attack-shoigu-visits-troops/32475778.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave Wagner members the options</a> of entering a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense or other law enforcement agencies, going home to their family and friends, or leaving for Belarus.</p>
