Reports from Ukrainian and Polish officials indicate that Wagner Group forces have recently entered Belarus, following a brief uprising by Russian mercenaries against the Kremlin. Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, confirmed these movements in a Telegram post on Saturday.
Furthermore, Stanislaw Zaryn, Poland’s deputy minister coordinator of special services, stated that their intelligence suggests the arrival of Russian mercenaries in Belarus. Zaryn emphasized that the extent of Wagner Group’s involvement in Belarus is still uncertain, but it is clear that they are being deployed there for a specific mission.
Indeed, the Belarusian Defense Ministry released a video on Friday showcasing Wagner forces training Belarusian troops, providing evidence of their presence.
The rebellion against Moscow, initiated last month by Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, demanded the removal of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who had faced criticism for military leadership during the war in Ukraine. The rebellion was ultimately halted after negotiations between Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Prigozhin and his troops were not charged and were permitted to leave Russia for Belarus.
