Separate groups of mercenaries from the Wagner PMC have arrived in Belarus, according to a representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko.
Ukrainian law enforcement agencies will "carefully monitor" the movement of the PMCs in the country, Demchenko added.
Earlier, the Belaruski Gayun project, which monitors military activity, reported the arrival of a convoy of cars and trucks of the Wagner PMC in Belarus.
According to the project, on the night of July 15, a convoy of at least 60 vehicles entered from Russia near the town of Krychiv, Mogilev region.
"At least 60 vehicles were spotted in the convoy, including pickup trucks, large trucks, buses and at least 3 buses for transportation of people. The convoy was accompanied by the traffic police of the Republic of Belarus," the statement said.
According to the project, the convoy headed towards Bobruisk through Rogachov, Gomel region, then towards the town of Osipovichi, Mogilev region.
"The route indicates that the Wagner PMC column is moving to a tent camp in the village of Tsil (Osipovichi district)," the project said.
On July 14, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Belarus reported the arrival of Wagner mercenaries.
They began to conduct training as instructors for units of the Belarusian territorial defense forces near the town of Osipovichi.
Background. The day before, it was reported that Putin had allegedly found a new commander for the Wagner mercenaries. In this way, the Kremlin is deliberately pushing Yevhen Prigozhin away from the PMC he created.
It was also reported that amid reports of Wagner's deployment, the Ukrainian military had mined the border with Belarus, installing 30 anti-tank minefields with 5,800 mines.
