Prigozhin launched a "march for justice" towards Moscow last month. But he turned on Russia's military leadership, accusing them of sabotaging the Ukrainian war effort. Prigozhin was also once a staunch Putin ally and used to be known as Putin's chef. Lukashenko, one of Putin's closest allies, negotiated the end of Prigozhin's armed rebellion against the Russian president's government last month. His government is believed to be behind the attempted assassinations of the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and opposition leader Alexei Navalny, among others. The Russian leader has a long history of brutal and violent crackdowns on those he sees as disloyal. Putin must have had a change of heart, because a week ago, Lukashenko bragged that he talked Putin out of assassinating the mercenary boss.
