Did Lukashenko save Putin from the Wagner group?
The leader of Belarus, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko, claims to have saved Russia's Vladimir Putin from an armed rebellion by the Wagner group, mercenaries who Putin endorsed as they fought alongside the Russian army in Ukraine.
Lukashenko mediated between the Kremlin and Yevgeny V. Prigozhin, the magnate behind the Wagner group. Several media clarified that Putin endorsed his intervention.
The Belarussian leader managed to get Prigozhin to agree to stop his operation. In exchange, Russian authorities dropped all charges against the mercenaries.
