Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin - who led a short-lived armed rebellion in Russia last month - is in Russia and not Belarus, the leader of Belarus says.
The mercenary leader planned to capture Russia’s military leadership as part of the mutiny, Western officials said, and he accelerated his plans after the domestic intelligence agency became aware of the plot.
Ukrainian forces have advanced around Bakhmut, Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar has said, describing the eastern city as the "epicentre of hostilities".
