Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu delivered his first on-camera remarks since the Wagner rebellion during a meeting with his Cuban counterpart Gen.

However, Belarusian state media quoted Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko on Tuesday, saying that Prigozhin is in Belarus. And on Tuesday morning, two planes linked to Prigozhin landed at a Belarusian airbase outside the country's capital city, according to a satellite image from BlackSky. Prigozhin's exact whereabouts are still unknown.

Wagner rebellion: Wagner troops are still inside Ukraine after the weekend mutiny, according to the US Defense Department.

The sanctions target companies in Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Central African Republic that “have engaged in illicit gold dealings to fund the Wagner Group to sustain and expand its armed forces, including in Ukraine and Africa.” The announcement of the sanctions comes days after the short-lived mutiny led by the head of the mercenary group’s leader, Yevegny Prigozhin.

Sanctions: The US Treasury Department on Tuesday imposed sanctions on four companies involved in “gold dealing” and one person they say made “weapons deals” tied to the Wagner Group.
