Wagner leader Prigozhin is staying in a windowless hotel in Minsk: "Assassination anticipated"
The Kremlin has asserted that it is unaware of Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of Wagner, has arrived in Belarus and is living in one of the few buildings in the city Minsk without any windows. The Wagner leader was last seen in public leaving the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don after disbanding his forces. He was instructed to leave for Belarus as part of a pact to put an end to his group's violent insurrection. Since then, there have been questions about his location, but Mark Warner, the leader of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, informed NBC News that Prigozhin is in Minsk.
“I Understand, literally as I was Coming on air, that he says he's in Minsk and he actually is. And get this – this is just reports – that he is in one of the only hotels in Minsk that does not have any windows,” He said.
He stated that this may be done to defend him against assassination attempts. The Kremlin has asserted that it is unaware of Yevgeny Prigozhin. As Russian President Vladimir Putin always fulfilled his word, the settlement ending the mutiny was being executed, according to spokeswoman Dmitry Peskov. As part of the agreement, Prigozhin had to move to Belarus. The Federal Security Service (FSB) would end its investigation, allowing him and his mercenary troops to avoid prosecution.
Vladimir Putin earlier thanked members of Russia's armed forces and law enforcement. The Russian president reportedly addressed security officers on a square within the Kremlin complex that the military and the populace had united in opposition to the rebel mercenaries.
