However, he delivered an audio message on Monday defending Wagner&#8217;s revolt, which appears to be centered around a standoff with Russia&#8217;s military leadership and their handling of the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Reports claimed that Prigozhin was staying in a Minsk hotel without any windows, possibly due to a fear of being defenestrated.<\/p>\n<p>Flight trackers and satellite data on Tuesday indicated that two planes belonging to Prigozhin landed at a base outside the Belarusian capital of Minsk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to announcing Prigozhin&#8217;s arrival, Lukashenko stated that some Wagner members are invited to stay at an &#8220;abandoned&#8221; base in Belarus, highlighting their &#8220;invaluable&#8221; experience. The Belarusian leader also claimed to have convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin to avoid escalating the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>However, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wagner-leader-made-it-to-belarus-president-lukashenko-says\/\" title=\"Wagner leader arrives in Belarus, confirms President Lukashenko.\">regional leaders expressed concerns<\/a> about Wagner&#8217;s presence in Belarus.
