Vilnius summit will also address Sweden joining alliance, as Ukraine leader continues diplomacy tour

The public broadcast of police raids on Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin’s home and office are an obvious attack on the mercenary’s cherished reputation as a straight-talking patriot fighting against corruption – and, experts say, a warning to anyone else who might challenge President Vladimir Putin’s rule.

Russia’s rebellious mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin walked free from prosecution for his June 24 armed mutiny, and it’s still unclear if anyone will face any charges in the brief uprising against the military or for the deaths of the soldiers killed in it

Pro-Kremlin media reported that a raid on the Wagner chief’s flat had been conducted by Russian forces

NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg says Western military alliance is monitoring movements of Russian mercenary force.

Prigozhin is meant to have fled the country following a deal in the wake of his short-lived mutiny

That's in contrast to the deal worked out after the failed uprising last month. The Kremlin had said the Wagner group leader would be exiled to neighboring Belarus but would not face charges.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was expected to relocate to Belarus, but Lukashenko says he’s in Russia.

The chief of the Wagner private army that staged an aborted rebellion against the Kremlin’s military leadership last month is back in Russia, according to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
