Following the failed mutiny by the Wagner mercenaries in Russia and their refusal to join Russian army, Belarus has reached an agreement with the group to provide training for its soldiers. The Belarusian defense ministry released a video showing Wagner fighters instructing Belarusian troops near Minsk. With an undisclosed number of Wagner fighters involved, concerns mount over the potential impact on Ukraine. Meanwhile, President Putin‘s authority is questioned as questions arise about his decision to drop charges against Wagner. The situation remains tense, with Ukraine closely monitoring the developments.
Belarus authorities confirm that Wagnerites (at least some of them) are already in Belarus and are helping train local conscripts from territorial defense.
