The President of Belarus said that Russian President Putin would have crushed Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, like a worm by rebelling. He explained that he stopped at the last minute.
Internet Desk: The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, said that the Wagner boss Prigozhin, who suddenly declared a coup against the Kremlin and created a sensation around the world, would die. Speaking about his role in the negotiations between Wagner and Russia, he said that he himself prevented Putin from destroying the Wagner group. “I understand the revolutionary situation in Russia. But, it is understood that the present situation is not the real thing.. Its consequences are the key. It is known that Putin has already decided to make the Wagner group anonymous. I warned Putin not to rush. I told him to talk to Prigozhin and his commanders. But, Putin is.. ‘Listen to what Alex is saying. He (Prigozine) doesn’t pick up the phone. He does not like to talk to anyone.’ During the first half hour of his conversation with Prigogine, he was extremely abusive. There are 10 times more profanity than normal spoken language. If not, he apologized first and then explained the whole thing with these blasphemous words,” Lukashenko revealed. After his diplomacy he conveyed the Kremlin’s offers to Prigozhin.
Prigozhin called at five o’clock in the evening. ‘I agree to your conditions. What do you want to do now? We stopped. They (Russian army) will kill us’, he expressed concern. In this order I dared Prigozhin. I revealed that they promised that they would not do anything. I have assured that I am taking the responsibility of implementing it,” explained Lukashenko.
Russia claims that Belarusian President Lukashenko is responsible for putting down the rebellion. To this extent, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “Lukashenko made this agreement based on his personal relationship with Prigozhin. This gave an opportunity to merge the Wagner group and their weapons into the Russian army.
On the other hand, Prigozhin landed in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, on Tuesday morning. This was confirmed by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. At their own expense, Prigogine and his followers could stay in their country for a while.
