Wagner leader is supposed to be in Belarus. Lukashenko says he’s in Russia
Lukashenko said he warned Prigozhin that he and his troops would be destroyed if they failed to make a deal to end their mutiny and that Belarus would send a brigade to help protect Moscow.“It was necessary to nip it in the bud. It was very dangerous, as history shows,” Lukashenko said.
Asked about the deployment of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, Lukashenko said they are intended to deter any aggression against the country. Putin and Lukashenko both have said that some of them already have been moved to Belarus. “These weapons serve strictly defensive purposes,” he said, adding that if Belarus faces an aggression, “the answer will come instantly.”
