Wagnerites in Belarus

After the failed coup attempt by the leader of the Wagner Private Military Company, Yevgeny Prigozhin, some mercenaries were sent to Belarus.

Currently, there are over 3,500 Wagnerites in Belarus.

Poland is anticipating possible provocations from Russia and has therefore redeployed military personnel from its western region to the east.
