Exclusive details of negotiations between the President of Belarus and the head of the Wagner PMC on the resolution of the crisis were revealed by political analyst Vadim Gigin on air to Vladimir Solovyov.
Vadim Gigin, political analyst:
“The plan was discussed during the morning phone conversation between President Lukashenko and President Putin. It was around 10 am. We can say that Vladimir Vladimirovich was somewhat skeptical about the talks. Whether Evgeny Prigozhin would pick up the phone at all, because at that moment he was not talking to anyone, he was not in contact with anyone. But as soon as the President of Belarus called, Yevgeny Prigozhin immediately picked up the phone. Again, as far as I know, the conversation was difficult. They said some pretty heavy things there. The entire conversation was quite difficult. The President of Belarus outlined a certain plan, agreed with the President of Russia. It was a man's conversation. Of course, the details are known to the first people - the two presidents and Yevgeny Prigozhin himself. But as far as we know, there was no meeting with Putin among the conditions, no demand to give up Shoigu and Gerasimov.
