31. Wagner appears to be going to Belarus, or at least Prighozin is.

Maybe Belarus intends to use Prighozin as a sort of body guard in case Putin turns on Lukashenko. I imagine Prighozin's Wagner men will follow him. They certainly don't trust Putin, who bombed them, killing thousands, right before this coup erupted. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/ukraine-russia-wagner-mercenary-prigozhin-army-bombing-troops-rcna90870

Plus, Prighozin posted a video saying the Ukraine invasion was "based on lies." https://abcnews.go.com/International/wagner-mercenary-chief-calls-armed-rebellion-russian-military/story?id=100335756 So, I doubt Prighozin's men will continue fighting in Ukraine.

All of this is good news for Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!
