Lukashenko: Prigozhin never asked for security guarantees

The founder of the Wagner PMC Evgeny Prigozhin never asked the Belarusian leader of security guarantees. About this President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarusian media reported.

“If you directly answer this question: I should not ensure Prigozhin’s safety. This is firstly. Secondly, there was never a conversation in this way,” said Alexander Lukashenko.

According to Lukashenko, security issues were discussed twice. The first time during the call, when the fighters of the PMC walked in a column in the direction of the Russian capital.

Lukashenko also emphasized that his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin cannot stand behind the incident with the plane of the founder of the PMC Wagner.

He noted that many are now trying to assign the responsibility for the incident with the Evgeny Prigozhin plane on the president of Russia. But, according to the politician, the Russian leader has absolutely nothing to do with it.

We are absolutely innocent in that That this wave of migrants has gone, ”the head of state emphasized.“ It would be smaller through Belarus if there were no war in Ukraine. They went to Europe, through Ukraine, for a lot of money, when there was no this war. Now it remains. The window (through Belarus). We do not take the bribe with them. But we will not fight for Europe and tear clothes on ourselves. In connection with the policy that they pursue, ”the Belarusian leader said, in particular,
