Yevgeny Prigozhin hasn’t made a public statement since Saturday evening, when he announced that his fighters were “turning around.”
An attempted rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin lasted less than 24 hours before grinding to a halt on Saturday. Since then, the Wagner Group chief’s whereabouts have remained a mystery.
The head of notorious private military outfit hasn’t been seen since his fighters pulled back after claiming to take control of Rostov-on-Don and key military facilities in the Voronezh region.
The Kremlin and the Belarusian government reported Prigozhin said he would leave Russia for neighboring Belarus as part of a deal to avoid “bloodshed.” However, his whereabouts have not been verified beyond his departure from Rostov-on-Don late on Saturday, when state-run news agency RIA Novosti published a video showing the Wagner boss leaving by car.
He also hasn’t posted a public statement on his press service since Saturday evening, when he announced that his fighters were “turning around” from their march on Moscow and leaving “in the opposite direction.”
Prigozhin’s press service said he will answer all questions “when he is on normal communication,” but didn’t mention his whereabouts.
