Belarus’ Lukashenko: Prigozhin is in Russia, not Belarus

#Belarus #Russia #Prigozhin

He fell out of a window while stargazing. Or maybe he accidentally walk into a live round. Weird things happened in Russia all the time.

[moos]

Okay, so he is officially dead I guess. And Lukashenko doesn't want to take the blame nor any repercussions from the next in line at Wagner.

[sharinwicker]

This man is probably already not alive. Or will be.

[solitaryronin]

what he means is half of him is in Belarus, the other half in St. Petersberg. 💀💀💀

[ecosystemology]

With Lukashenko saying this, the odds have now increased significantly that Prigozhin is in Belarus now.

[cecilelaforce]

The only thing that can be depended on coming out of Russia or Belarus is lies. Just lies. Said that 2 weeks ago.

[dpelpal]

I remember when putin screamed the whole "Kyiv in 3 daysss!" thing at the beginning of the war, what a chump. Apparently russias currency is now worthless, they should never have tried to go to the capital city that's when they lost

[observer]

Why would anyone think Luko would tell the truth?

[judgedredd]

I thought Trump was the biggest troll but the duo Putin-Lukashenko is on another league!

[mcbrite]

This is more insane than any movie plot... And literally almost anything could happen next... I'm not even sure they know themselves, yet!

[PonderousProse]

I realize he has bigger problems right now, but Lukashenko needs to drop the comb-over. Perhaps he's afraid of looking too much like Putin & Prigozhin.

[GeorgeKafantaris]

Since when do we believe anything that Lukashenko or Putin have to say?

[robertgraziano]

He is having a private dinner with Putin on top of a very high building.

[stefan]

People in Rostov-on-Don felt liberated for a few hours...

[abrahamdozer]

He's in a vase but he's in Russia.

[dasstigma]

"He is everywhere, all at once, he is FREE!!!"
Russian for: "He dead."

[mauromatos]

Something is brewing in Russia. There are no good guys in this tragedy, lord help us.

[kcraig]

Prigozhin "rebels" and gets exiled to Belarus with Wagner without criminal charges. That just happens to be directly opposite of where Russia is attacking. Ukraine better be watching it's northern border.

[pjmlegrande]

No doubt safe and sound! Stay away from high places, Prigo!

100k Wagners with fresh Belorussian inmates pushing towards Lviv all along the polish border.
