‘Wagner lived, lives and will live in Belarus, no matter how much someone does not want it.

We have built a system with the founder of the company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, on how Wagner will be located here,’ the Belarusian leader said, BelTA news agency reported on Friday.

The images broadcast by Western media from space, that we are dismantling the Wagner camp near the town of Osipovichi, in the Mogilev region, do not show the reality, only a few tents have been removed, as there was no need for so many of them.

In essence there remains a core of fighters, some have gone on vacation, others have decided to live on the sidelines, but the phone numbers, addresses, passwords of the group’s troops are known, Lukashenko said.

On the other hand, Lukashenko asserts that he did not take responsibility for Prigozhin’s safety. ‘He did not have to guarantee his safety. This is the first thing. Secondly, we never talked about this matter,’ the president explained.
