Alexander Lukashenko helped broker the deal whereby Prigozhin ended his foiled June 24 rebellion in exchange for security guarantees for himself and his soldiers. The pact allowed for the transfer of both Prigozhin and his troops to Belarus.

Lukashenko said last week that Prigozhin was in his country. But speaking to foreign journalists on Thursday, he indicated that the head of the mercenaries was in St. Petersburg while his troops remain in the camps.
