In call, Lukashenko discusses with Putin agreements reached with Wagner’s Prigozhin

Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus held a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin following the talks with the leader of Wagner Group.

That’s according to BelTA, referring to Lukashenko’s press service, Ukrinform reports.

"Today at nine o'clock in the evening, the presidents of Belarus and Russia spoke on the phone again," the report reads.

As noted, Lukashenko briefed Putin in detail on the outcome of his negotiations with the leadership of Wagner Group.

"The President of Russia supported and thanked his Belarusian counterpart for the work he’s done," the state-run news agency added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the morning of June 24, tensions between Wagner Group and Russia’s defense ministry spilled into a full-on military confrontation. Wagner’s units have seized administrative and military headquarters in Rostov before moving to seize Voronezh on their declared path to reach Moscow.

On June 24, Alexander Lukashenko, in coordination with Russian President Vladimir Putin, held talks with Yevgeny Prigozhin. Following talks, the Wagner Group leader said he had ordered his heavily armed convoys to stop the march toward Moscow and return to their field camps.
