Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led a Russian mutiny, arrives in Belarus and his men are offered a military base.
Alexander Lukashenko gave his own version of how the mutiny came to an end on SaturdayThe leader of Russia's 24-hour mutiny, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has arrived in Belarus, three days after his Wagner mercenary group's rebellion came to an end 200km south of Moscow.
Moscow is preparing to transfer the mercenaries' heavy weapons into the regular military and the fighters have been told they can either sign regular army contracts, go home or head to Belarus. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected as "hysteria" suggestions that the events of Friday and Saturday had dented his hold on power.
Six military helicopters and an Ilyushin 22-M command-and-control plane were shot down by the mutineers, according to unconfirmed reports. Some wreckage has been seen but the number of casualties is unclear. Whatever the truth of how 24 hours of mayhem did come to an end, one elaborate version was presented on Tuesday by Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus since 1994 and is widely thought to have rigged 2020 elections to maintain power.
