These two countries are panicking, Wagner has started deploying personnel in Belarus | Wagner | Both countries
The recent developments of Wagner's private military group have attracted much attention from the outside world, especially the deployment of Wagner fighters in Belarus, the true purpose of deployment, the dynamics of Prigoren, and who will be in charge of Wagner in the future.
Wagner deployed in Belarus
Today, Russian television quoted the Belarusian Ministry of Defense as saying that members of Wagner are currently conducting exercises with white-collar soil defense forces near the town of Osipovich in central Belarus. The training mainly focuses on tactical mobilization, specialized firearms training, military engineering training, and first aid training. The White Ministry of Defense stated in a statement on the 14th that it has jointly developed a military training and experience exchange roadmap with the Wagner leadership. Voyen TV, which is affiliated with the White Ministry of National Defense, has released a video of the participation of the White collar Soil Defense Force, which is mainly responsible for protecting borders and strategic facilities.
At present, Wagner personnel have entered a temporary field camp and plan to build more similar facilities before the fall. The Wagner personnel in Belarus involve over 10000 people, so financial expenditure issues must be considered. Both Russian and Belarusian officials refuse to disclose the exact number of people who have entered Belarusian territory. It is reported that Wagner personnel will be fully guaranteed by the Russian Ministry of Defense, which means not only living expenses will be provided, but salaries will also be paid from the Russian budget.
The dynamics of Prigoren are also a hot topic of external attention. On the 14th, Russia's Overclockers website reported that photos reportedly taken by Prigoren in a military tent in the Belarusian forest began to circulate on social media. This photo is said to have been taken at a camp in Belarus where Wagner members were placed. In the photo, Prigoren is sitting on a bed wearing underwear and a T-shirt, but there is currently no official confirmation whether he is still in Belarus. The Russian newspaper Businessman recently reported that Russian President Putin has provided various options for the future of Wagner personnel, including having a person with the code name "White Hair" take over from Prigo as the head of Wagner.
In addition, according to the website of the Russian newspaper, hundreds of Wagner's military personnel have arrived in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, by plane and will help maintain public security during the referendum.
