DIKSIA.COM - Wagner Group mercenaries led by Yevgeny Prigozhin are preparing to move to Belarus.

This came as part of a deal defusing their rebellion against Russia's military leadership, a senior commander of the group said.

Since the June Uprising, when Wagner's warriors briefly captured the southern Russian city and marched toward Moscow, the whereabouts of Prigozhin and his mercenaries have remained unclear.
