"Prigozhin's Death Exposes Putin's True Nature and Raises Questions of Who's Next"

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko revealed that he warned Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin twice about potential threats to his life. Lukashenko offered to guarantee Prigozhin's security in Belarus and suggested he could talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin about it. The comments come after a private plane, allegedly carrying Prigozhin, crashed near Moscow. The Kremlin is conducting examinations to determine if Prigozhin was killed in the crash. The Pentagon believes Prigozhin was "likely" killed, and US and Western intelligence officials suspect foul play. Lukashenko also stated that Wagner fighters will continue to operate in Belarus, with up to 10,000 members, despite recent dismantling of some camp sites.
