How Wagner's men ended up in Belarus

After the mutiny of the Wagner PMC leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in late June, the Kremlin announced the relocation of mercenaries to Belarus.

On June 27, self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko confirmed the arrival of Yevgeny Prigozhin in the country. According to him, the Wagner mercenaries who arrived with him will not guard the Russian tactical nuclear weapons deployed there. However, Lukashenko emphasized that he expects the mercenaries to help in the defense of Belarus. However, the dictator did not specify from whom Belarus intends to defend itself.

On June 29, a satellite detected the construction of a tent camp near Osipovichi in the Mogilev region of Belarus, and on July 3, Russian media published a photo of a possible camp for Wagner mercenaries.

On July 11, the Belarusian Ministry of Defense stated that the Wagner mercenaries would train the Belarusian army.

On July 14, media reported that training sessions with units of the territorial troops were taking place near Osipovichi (Belarus), where Wagner PMC mercenaries were acting as instructors in some military disciplines.

On the morning of July 15, a large convoy of cars and trucks with the license plates of the so-called DNR and LNR was detected in Belarus. These were probably mercenaries of the Wagner PMC. The State Border Guard Service confirmed this information.

On Sunday, July 16, the monitoring group Belaruski Gayun reported that two flags - of Russia and Wagner PMC - were installed at the checkpoint on the border between Belarus and Russia.

Wagner's mercenaries announced that on July 30, the main PMC base in the Russian Federation, located in the village of Molkino in Krasnodar region, would be closed.

On July 19, Wagner PMC financier Yevhen Prigozhin spoke to Wagner members in Belarus, calling the situation at the front a "disgrace" and urging mercenaries to "wait for the moment to prove themselves to the fullest."
