Despite reports that the Wagner Group leader will be given amnesty in Belarus, Russian state media says he remains under investigation for mutiny.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, remains under investigation for mutiny, Russian state media reported on Monday.
The report comes days after Prigozhin reportedly turned back his army which he said was nearly 200 kilometers from Moscow. The deal reportedly would have allowed Prigozhin and members of his rebellion to move to Belarus, a close ally of Russia and the Kremlin, without facing prosecution. This report, however, has not been confirmed by Scripps News.
According to Prigozhin, the reason behind the retaliation was because Russian military forces, acting under the orders of Russia's chief of general staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, launched attacks on Wagner convoys and field camps located in Ukraine.Right after Prigozhin’s announcement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Twitter this whole situation is"complete chaos."
