"Russia's Wagner Mercenaries Conduct Joint Training with Belarusian Military Near Polish Border"

Russian Wagner mercenaries have begun joint training exercises with the Belarusian military near the Polish border, following their relocation to Belarus after a failed rebellion. The drills, which will last for a week, aim to modernize the Belarusian military with the combat experience of Wagner. The UK has imposed sanctions on 13 Wagner mercenaries over alleged human rights abuses in Africa. The rebellion led by Wagner's chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, posed a serious threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin's rule. Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya warns that Wagner's deployment to Belarus will destabilize the country and threaten its neighbors. Poland has responded by redeploying troops to its eastern border.
