NATO to track movements of Russia’s Wagner mercenaries

0

Brussels: NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg says Western military alliance is closely monitoring movements of Russian mercenary force and their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin following reports that neither the private army’s fighters nor their leader had taken up exile in Belarus.

NATO’s Jens Stoltenberg clarified it amid reports that Prigozhin was back in Russia and had not taken up the offer of exile in Belarus, which was agreed after Wagner forces began and ended a 24-hour mutiny against the Russian military leadership on June 24.

Stoltenberg said that NATO had tracked the Wagner leader’s recent travels, which he described as “moving a bit around”.

“On Prigozhin, well, what we can say is that we monitor closely where the Wagner soldiers are moving around, and also where he [Prigozhin] is moving,” Stoltenberg said in Brussels.
