補充老盧對瓦格納的說法

盧卡申科說瓦格納可以與白俄羅斯軍隊一起工作

Wagner troops would "happily" share their experiences with the Belarusian military if stationed in the country, its president Alexander Lukashenko said Thursday.

“As far as I am informed as of this morning, the Wagner fighters are now stationed at their regular camps where they go for their rotation to rest and recover from frontlines. This a regular rotation for wartime. After Bakhmut they have left to their camp where they are today,” Lukashenko told CNN's Matthew Chance at a press conference.

He denied that housing Wagner forces could pose a danger to Belarus “if it happens.”

“I absolutely don’t see any risks of housing Wagner PMC in Belarus if it happens. Everyone is trying to pressure me about this, and I understand why. If Wagner PMC comes to Belarus, then all our neighbours and of course your leaders understand that this is a very powerful military unit that doesn’t have many equals in the world.”
He he told Chance that Belarus’ military was “not inferior” to Wagner.

“The experience that Wagner fighters and their commanders have, they will happily share with our military.”

盧卡申科說廚子是自由的

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said he did not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin would seek vengeance on Yevgeny Prigozhin.

“I know for certain that Prigozhin is free. And right now, as well, he is free. We spoke several times on the phone. Yesterday after lunch, we talked with him on the phone and just discussed ... further actions of Wagner [private military company].”

Lukashenko said earlier that Prigozhin, who has not been seen in public since June 24, was now in Russia, despite an earlier claim that he would be exiled to Belarus.

Speaking at a news conference in Minsk on Tuesday, he said:

“What will happen to Prigozhin next? Well, everything happens in life. But if you think that Putin is so malicious and vindictive that he will ‘kill’ Prigozhin tomorrow – no, this will not happen.”
Putin knows Prigozhin “much better than I do,” Lukashenko said.

“You have to understand that Putin knows Prigozhin much better than I do and knows him longer than I do, about 30 years, as they both lived and worked in St Petersburg. They had very good relations with each other, maybe even more than that.”

In the wake of Prigozhin’s aborted insurrection and Lukashenko’s intervention, the Kremlin touted Lukashenko’s relationship with Prigozhin.

“The fact is that Alexander Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] has known Prigozhin personally for a long time, for about 20 years," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on June 24. "And it was his personal proposal, which was agreed with Putin. We are grateful to the President of Belarus for these efforts.”
