Lukashenko with Prigozhin

🇧🇾🤚🇷🇺Alexander Lukashenko said that an important role in the negotiations with Prigozhin was played by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yevkurov and Director of the FSB Bortnikov.

He also noted that Prigozhin was influenced by the leaders of his combat detachments.

"At 11.00 he (Prigozhin) instantly picked up the phone. That is, Yevkurov called him, gave him the phone: "Here, the President of Belarus is calling, will you talk?" - "I will be with Alexander Grigorievich." I hear their conversation. Picked up the phone. The conversation is euphoria. Eugene is in complete euphoria. We talked the first round for 30 minutes in obscene language Exclusively. There were 10 times more swear words (I later analyzed them) than normal vocabulary. He, of course, apologized and began to tell me with obscene words . "The guys are only from the front. They saw thousands of their dead guys. The guys are very offended, especially the commanders. And, as I understand it, they greatly influenced (I calculated this beforehand) on Prigozhin himself. Yes, he is such, you know, a heroic guy, but he was pressured and influenced by those who led the assault squads and saw these deaths. And in this situation, having jumped out from there to Rostov, in such a half-mad state, I am conducting this dialogue with him.

"I say:" Zhenya, no one will give you either Shoigu or Gerasimov, especially in this situation. You know Putin as much as I do. Secondly, not only will he meet with you - he will not talk on the phone due to this situation. " He is silent.

"But we want justice! They want to strangle us! We will go to Moscow!" I say: "Halfway you'll just be crushed like a bug. Despite the fact that the troops (Putin told me about this for a long time) are distracted on the corresponding front." Think about it, I say. "No" - such a euphoria .

“For a long time I convinced him. And in the end I said: “You know, you can do whatever you want. But don't be offended by me. The brigade is ready for transfer to Moscow. And, as in 1941, you read books, an educated, intelligent person, we will defend Moscow. Because this situation is not only in Russia.

This is not only because this is our Fatherland. And because, God forbid, this turmoil would go all over Russia, and the prerequisites for this were colossal, we were next."
