Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko says that members of the Wagner mercenary group will remain in his country, after the presumed death of their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in a plane crash on August 23.
"Wagner lives, Wagner has lived and Wagner will live in Belarus" he says, suggesting that Wagner fighters, who were offered exile in his country following a short-lived uprising against Russia's military leadership, have continued to gather in Belarus and estimated their numbers to be around 10,000.
