Because of Prigozhin? – Belarusian authorities report downed drone

Date:

Belarusian soldiers allegedly intercepted a drone on the border with Ukraine. As announced by the local government, the drone was shot down using electronic air defense systems and eventually fell into the water.

A border guard unit on the Dnipro River discovered the drone, which was apparently used to conduct reconnaissance. The background to this is that the leadership in Minsk stated on Friday that the instructors of the Wagner group were on Belarusian territory and were training Belarusian troops there. After a one-day uprising by the mercenary group in late June, it was unclear for weeks where the group led by leader Yevgeny Prigozhin was.

Prigozhin refused the offer
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko mediated at the time and thus contributed to the end of the uprising. An agreement stipulated that the Wagner mercenaries and Prigozhin go to Belarus. The chief of troops is said to have received 8.8 billion euros from the Russian state. According to his own statement, Putin offered the fighters to continue serving in Russia. But that should have been rejected.

According to the Belarusian border authorities, the now shot down Ukrainian drone would have tried to check the whereabouts of the Wagner group. It was discovered in the Braginskyi region of southeastern Belarus, where the Dnipro flows near the border between the two neighboring countries.
