On Friday, Ukraine intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has been tasked with killing Prigozhin, although he pointed out, "not all potential assassination attempts will be quick.'' Since then, Lukashenko has said Prigozhin made it to his country, which is closely allied with the Kremlin, but the wealthy businessman has not been seen. In a video posted Monday on a Telegram channel, Prigozhin also claimed to have accomplished many of the goals of the brief revolt, which he said was intended at "fighting traitors and mobilizing (Russian) society."Īfter running through the southern city of Rostov-on-Don and getting within 120 miles of Moscow on June 24, the Wagner forces turned around after Prigozhin agreed to an offer of asylum in Belarus for him and his fighters mediated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said he expects "further victories at the front" for the Wagner Group in his first public comments since shortly after the rebellion he launched in Russia was suppressed, although it was not clear when they were made, the Kyiv Independent reported Monday.
