Ukrainian local media Kyiv Post also reported that Prigozhin's private plane took off from Rostov Oblast in southern Russia early that morning and landed at an airbase near Minsk, the capital of Belarus, around 7:40 a.m.

On the 24th, Prigozhin led his mercenary group in an armed rebellion, advancing toward Moscow, the capital of Russia, but stopped and withdrew about 200 km from Moscow the next day. It is known that he left Rostov-on-Don, the capital of Rostov Oblast, by car that night, but his whereabouts have since been unknown.

In an audio message the day before, he mentioned that the rebellion was for the Wagner Group and was not aimed at overthrowing the regime, but he did not disclose his location.

President Vladimir Putin said he would not punish him, but there are predictions both inside and outside Russia that Prigozhin will eventually face retaliation. There are also speculations that he will travel to Africa, where the Wagner Group is active, via Belarus.
