His lips are moving.

There are rumors that a chunk of Prigozhin troops have quietly "moved" to Ukraine. Add to that Putin has stated he's still on the fence on making another go at Kyiv.

This could all be a ruse to get battle hardened troops into Belarus while offering plausible deniability. There were two main actors in this, Putin and Lukashenko, now we have a third which, surprise, doesn't seem to answer either one of them. And if you believe that, let me tell you about this bridge I have for sale.
