donning a series of outrageous disguises have leaked in the Russian media, reportedly having been discovered during a raid on one of his properties.
The photos show the Wagner Group founder trying out various identities with the help of fake beards, wigs, and bogus military uniforms, sparking comparisons to the Sacha Baron Cohen filmIn one, Prigozhin is said to be posing as a staffer at Sudan’s Defense Ministry, in another—a diplomatic aide from Abu Dhabi. The disguises were reportedly used to provide cover for Wagner’s mercenary work overseas, though it’s not clear if they were ever very effective.
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko told reporters on Thursday that Prigozhin is not, in fact, in Belarus but back home in St. Petersburg.“As far as I am aware this morning, the Wagner fighters are located in their own camps. In their permanent camps, where they were located for recovery after their withdrawal from the front,” he said, apparently referring to the group’s camps in Ukraine’s Luhansk region.
“He and I talked on the phone yesterday afternoon and we discussed the further actions of Wagner. He told me one thing: ‘We will work for the good of Russia and fulfill our duty to the end.’ What will happen to him next? Well, in life anything can happen. But if you think that Putin is so malicious and vindictive that he’ll be taken out tomorrow… no, that will not happen.”
