This whole thing, including Prigozhin now being said to have left Belarus and back in Russia, smacks of Putin, Lukashenko, and Prigozhin moving Wager to Belarus to open a second front and attempt to attack and capture Kyiv from the North. I'd like to see, and justice demands all three be hung in the town square, and left until they rot, but there's something else afoot here.

Unlikely based on current reports that Wagner still has recruitment operations from Molkino which is in Russia and only a small number of Wagner troops have arrived to Belarus. Belarusians are also against attacking Ukraine and every time Lukashenko even hinted at it senior generals said they will refuse to carry out the orders. Lukashenko has no real control in Belarus and is being protected by Russian Presidential Security Service (SBP) as he is afraid of being killed.
