"Inside the Controversial Wagner Forces Camp: Revelations from Prigozhin's Office and Lukashenko's Phone Call"

The Belarusian military has showcased a field camp near Tsel that it has offered to Russia's Wagner military contractor as part of a deal to end their mutiny. The camp, located southeast of Minsk, can accommodate up to 5,000 troops. However, it remains unclear whether the Wagner Group will accept the offer, as their representatives have not yet inspected the camp. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed that the mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is in Russia, raising questions about the deal's validity. Lukashenko dismissed concerns that the mercenaries could attack Ukraine from Belarusian territory. The failed rebellion by the Wagner fighters posed a significant threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin's rule.

Belarus' Military Camp Construction Raises Concerns

Satellite images suggest that Belarus has built a military-style camp near the town of Osipovichi, possibly to house fighters from the Wagner mercenary group. The construction of the camp coincided with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko offering refuge to Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters. Up to 8,000 Wagner mercenaries may be deployed in Belarus, prompting Ukraine to strengthen its border with Belarus. Lukashenko has previously allowed the Kremlin to use Belarusian territory for military purposes and has welcomed a continued Russian armed presence. He stated that the mercenaries are not a threat to Belarus and expressed confidence in not having to use the nuclear weapons deployed in the country.
