For weeks there was speculation where the mercenaries of Wagner’s private Russian army were located. Now it was reported that the fighters had arrived in Belarus. “It could be several hundred at the moment,” tweeted Poland’s deputy coordinator of special services Stanislaw Zaryn.
“Wagner is in Belarus,” Andriy Demchenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian border service, told Telegram. The Belarusian Defense Ministry also stated that the men were now working as instructors in a number of military disciplines. A video was released showing masked fighters training soldiers and a tent camp.
Tentenkamp is located 100 kilometers from Minsk
“There’s no question that it’s a very useful experience for our military,” one soldier explains in the clip. “We haven’t fought in Afghanistan since the end of the war,” he says, referring to the Soviet invasion. Agent Maxim Paevsky said that territory defense soldiers were being trained. The tent camp is located in Ossipovichi, about 100 kilometers southeast of the capital Minsk.
A video circulating on social media is said to show dozens of vehicles in a convoy of Wagner soldiers crossing the border into Belarus early Saturday morning. In it you will see trucks, vans, vans and buses.
What exactly happened to the former head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, remains uncertain. A photo surfaced a few days ago showing the leader of the June uprising in his underpants on a camp bed, waving one hand at the camera.
On June 24, Wagner fighters marched near Moscow in an uprising. The uprising was ended within a day when Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko mediated. The agreement stipulated that Prigozhin would go into exile in Belarus. The insurgent soldiers were given the choice of going to Belarus, joining the Russian army or returning home.
