Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin appears in a video speaking to his troops as they arrive in Belarus, the first public image of him since his short-lived mutiny.
"Welcome guys. I am happy to greet you all. Welcome to the Belarusian land. We fought with dignity. We have done a lot for Russia," the video captures him telling Wagner Group mercenaries, according to translations from The Hill. Timothy Nerozzi is a writer for Fox News Digital.
