Ninth convoy of Wagner fighters arrives in Belarus 

This is reported by the Belarusian Hajun monitoring project.

"The 9th column of the Wagner PMC fighters has arrived in Belarus. This convoy, preliminarily, consists exclusively of about 30 trucks," the statement says. 

According to the monitoring group, late in the evening of July 19, the convoy was moving along the M5 highway from Bobruisk towards Asipovichy, some trucks were traveling with two trailers at once. Most of the trucks in the convoy were traveling without license plates.

It is noted that in recent days, some trucks traveling in convoys with other Wagner PMC vehicles later returned to the Russian Federation, which indicates that the trucks bring cargo, unload it in the camp in the village of Tsel and return to the Russian Federation or for the next batch of cargo.

What exactly is being transported is unknown.

"It is not known what exactly is being transported in the trucks, they are all covered and of different colors. Anything can be transported there, personal belongings, equipment/parts of the former PMC camp in Molkin or their equipment, weapons, ammunition," the monitoring group said.

Earlier, Belarusian Hajun wrote that since July 11, at least 5 convoys of Wagner's fighters have arrived in Belarus, which is about 382-400 vehicles, and the number of mercenaries in Belarus, according to the group, is already 2,000-2,500 people.

How the Wagner soldiers ended up in Belarus

After the mutiny of Wagner PMC leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in late June, the Kremlin announced the relocation of Wagner 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, 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, without specifying the potential source of the country's perceived threat.

On June 29, a satellite recorded the construction of a tent camp near Asipovichy in the Mogilev region of Belarus, and on July 3, Russian media published a photo of an alleged Wagner camp.

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 Asipovichy (Belarus), where Wagner PMC fighters were acting as instructors in some military disciplines.

On the morning of July 15, a large convoy of cars and trucks with license plates of the so-called DPR and LPR was spotted in Belarus. Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service confirmed that those were mercenaries of the Wagner PMC.

On Sunday, July 16, the Belarusian Hajun monitoring group reported that two flags - of Russia and the Wagner PMC - had been installed at the checkpoint on the border between Belarus and Russia.

Wagner Group announced that on July 30, their main base in the Russian Federation, located in the village of Molkino in Krasnodar Krai, would be closed.
