      “We have observed that the number of representatives of the Wagner PMC in the Republic of Belarus has recently fallen. And this situation existed even before yesterday. Therefore, like before, they do not pose a significant threat to our country. We also note that the outflow of Russian mercenaries from Belarus is ongoing.”

      This is about them leaving Belarus to return to Russia.

          There are rumors that Prigozhin ordered them to move on Moscow in the event of his untimely death.

          I’d take that with a heaping pinch of salt, though… and even if true, it doesn’t mean they’ll comply.
