The aftermath of the Wagner mutiny and Putin's response.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claims to have convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin not to kill Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the boss of the Wagner Group, during a phone conversation on Saturday. Lukashenko played a central role in brokering a deal between Putin and Prigozhin that led to the mercenary boss diverting a column of fighters that were advancing on Moscow. Putin agreed to drop insurgency charges against Prigozhin and to allow him and Wagner to move to neighboring Belarus. Lukashenko's version of events could not be verified, but the Kremlin confirmed that he was a central figure in the deal.
