Massive Wagner Mercenary Force Deployed to Belarus
Wagner mercenaries, a Russian private military company, have arrived in Belarus to act as military instructors for the Belarusian territorial defense forces, according to Ukrainian and Polish officials. The number of mercenaries is estimated to be "several hundred." This comes after the group's failed mutiny in Russia three weeks ago. The Ukrainian border service is working to determine their location and numbers, while Poland's Deputy Minister Coordinator of Special Services expressed concern about the presence of these "Russian criminals and thugs" in Belarus.
