The head of the Wagner mercenary group Yevgeny Prigozhin – who led a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia last month – is in Russia, longtime Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko says.

Prigozhin’s whereabouts have been a mystery since he was seen in southern Russia during the mutiny.

Under a deal to end the mutiny, charges against Prigozhin were dropped and he was to be allowed to move to Belarus.

Mr Lukashenko helped broker the deal to end the mutiny.
