The Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has left Belarus and is back in Russia, the Belarusian leader has said.

Prigozhin's whereabouts have been a mystery since he led a short-lived rebellion in Russia last month.

Under the deal to end the stand-off, charges against him were dropped and he was offered a move to Belarus.

But on Thursday Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko said: "As for Prigozhin, he's in St Petersburg. He is not on the territory of Belarus.”
