In addition, the Ukrainian border guards also confirmed that Wagner mercenaries from neighboring Russia had meanwhile arrived in Belarus.
They waved Russian flags and Wagner flags and made their way to the field camp offered by the Belarusian government.
According to an unconfirmed report, a convoy of around 60 Wagner vehicles crossed the border into Belarus on Saturday morning (07/15/2023).
Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed last week that Yevgeny Prigozhin turned down an offer to step down as Wagner boss and allow his mercenaries to continue fighting in Ukraine.
Instead, around 2,000 Wagner fighters have sought refuge in Belarus.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is to train Belarusian territorial troops at a training camp in the city of Asipovichy.
