If twitter is to be believed, this was posted to Pringle's Telegram channel (machine-translated):

So the press release by Lukashenko might be smoke and mirrors or a genuine misunderstanding

EDIT: Might well be bullshit, BBC currently reporting Prigozhin has confirmed a deal has taken place

EDIT2: Now also more clearly confirmed with quote by Prigozhin - https://nitter.nl/maxseddon/status/1672657882117013504

Right now the moment has come when blood could be spilled. Therefore, understanding all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be spilled on one side, we are turning our convoy around and going back to our basecamps, according to the plan.

Does someone have a link to Prigozhin's actual outlets? All of this is pretty indirect and suspect as a result. (In the age of deepfakes, a recording means little with no provenance)

Edit: BBC is now repeating this.
