Fighters of the Russian PMC Wagner are training soldiers in Belarus, the Belarusian Ministry of Defence announced today.
The ministry released a video showing Wagner fighters training Belarusian soldiers at a military field near the town of Asipovichy, about 90 km southeast of the capital Minsk.

“Wagner fighters are acting as trainers in a number of military fields,” according to the ministry. Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko brokered the end of the mercenary group’s short-lived June 23-24 mutiny that brought its fighters within less than 24 hours to within 200 km of Moscow.

Under the agreement brokered by Lukashenko, Wagner’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, ordered his men to return to their bases and end the mutiny and agreed to relocate to Belarus in exchange for Moscow dropping the mutiny charges against him. Prigozhin has not appeared in public since he and his forces left the Russian city of Rostov on 24 June.
