Prigojin "greets everyone" in an e-mail. Officials in Minsk cannot confirm that he is in Belarus
The head of the Russian paramilitary group Wagner Evgheni Prigojin "greets everyone", announces the press service of his company, Concord, in an email addressed to CNN, reports the US station.
CNN states that it has contacted this press service.
"There have been no more messages from Evgheni Viktorovici Prigojin since yesterday (Saturday evening). Can you state where he is now and whether he has indeed accepted the terms proposed by Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko?” CNN writes that he asked in an email.
"All your questions have been sent to Evgheni Viktorovici (Prigojin). He greets everyone and will answer questions when he has adequate communication," the press service of Prigojin's company replies.
Yevgeny Prigojon was last seen leaving the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don late Saturday night in a black SUV after the Kremlin announced that Lukashenko had struck a deal in which the Wagner boss agreed to go to Belarus and put end of the rebellion. However, Evgheni Prigojin did not confirm this agreement.
Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko spoke again on the phone with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Sunday morning, according to the official Belarusian news agency Belta.
Belarusian officials told CNN they had no details on Prigozhin's status in Belarus and could not confirm he had arrived in Belarus.
