“Now our intelligence monitors that separate groups of mercenaries have been set up on the territory of Belarus, but there is no talk of any mass or large-scale establishment of PMC representatives. We are talking about several hundred, which are subsequently placed in those places that were prepared,” the speaker said.
He added that the border guards and the military continue to monitor the movement of “Wagnerites” in Belarus. According to him, the militants of PMC “Wagner” who arrived in Belarus do not pose a threat to Ukraine.
“The number (of militants in Belarus – ed.) does not pose any threat to Ukraine in order to create some kind of strike force. However, of course, Belarus can use them for more serious things. For example, to destabilize the situation in border with Ukraine or with other countries with which Belarus borders,” Demchenko stressed.
“Wagnerites” are already in Belarus
Yesterday it became known that a large convoy of Wagner militants arrived in Belarus. The monitoring group “Belarusian Gayun” noted that they probably settled in a tent camp near Osipovichi.
Ukrainian border guards confirmed that the “Wagnerites” arrived in Belarus. However, the situation is under the control of Ukrainian forces.
