Lukashenko signed a sentence, agreeing to the movement of the PMC Wagner and Prigogine to Belarus - Latushko

On June 24, the press service of Alexander Lukashenko announced that, on behalf of Putin, he managed to agree with Prigozhin to stop the movement of the Wagnerians in Russia. Later, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said that all charges from the head of the Wagner PMC will be removed, and he will "go to Belarus." A day later, unconfirmed reports appeared that the Wagner PMC camps began to be built in Belarus.

One of the leaders of the Belarusian opposition, the former Minister of Culture Pavel Latushko told in a conversation with The Insider, which threatens Lukashenko: this decision:

The very history of the movement of the Wagner PMC to Belarus is a deed bomb. Agreeing to this, Lukashenko signed a sentence.

In the future, Wagner PMC can become a tool for escalation in relation to any state, primarily Ukraine. This group, consisting of professional fighters, is able to start “biting” the boundaries of other states and organize raids against Lithuania, Latvia and so on.

The second element: “Wagner”, if Russia loses the war, may ensure the implementation of an instruction from the Kremlin on the entry of Belarus into the Russian Federation. For Lukashenko, this is a challenge, and his security forces understand this.

Yesterday I received information that this was discussed at Lukashenko’s meeting, and most of the power apparatus spoke out against the movement of Wagner militants to the country. Now Lukashenko can succumb to the pressure of the Kremlin, and now his situation has become from a populist winning strategically losing.

On June 24, the head of the PMC of Wagner Evgeny Prigozhin after statements that the location of his mercenaries were fired by the forces of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and began the “march of justice” to Moscow. His forces entered Rostov-on-Don, and also moved towards the capital through the Voronezh and Lipetsk regions. On the same day, the rebel unfolded his columns allegedly by agreement with Lukashenko acting on behalf of Putin.
