Wagner chef Yevgeny Prigozhin is "out of contact" as mystery shrouds his whereabouts ahead of his exile to Belarus.
The mercenary chief's own press team has described the 62-year-old man as "missing and out of contact" tonight, despite being ordered to Belarus.
The oligarch was last seen getting into a car in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, as he took selfies with fans and got a hero's welcome after his botched rebellion.
