Ukraine’s leaders must guard against a possible attack led by Yevgeny Prigozhin launched at Kyiv from Belarus, General Lord Richard Dannatt says.

“The fact that he’s gone to Belarus is a matter of some concern,” said the former British Army chief of general staff.

“The aftershocks of yesterday will reverberate for quite some time.”

Nonetheless, there were no immediate “winners” from “yesterday’s fiasco”, he said.

“Putin is definitely much diminished. The Russian military… is clearly in some disarray,” said Lord Dannatt.
