Mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group are reportedly training Belarusian special forces at a location near the Polish border, according to the Belarusian defense ministry. As tensions rise, Poland has increased its troop presence to the east of the country. Meanwhile, Wagner’s chief, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has instructed his mercenaries to prepare for operations in Africa, halting their participation in the Ukraine war.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, has started to train special forces units of the Belarusian army near the border with NATO-member Poland.
  2. Poland has deployed over 1,000 troops to its eastern region in response to these activities, expressing concern about the potential for increased tension at its border.
  3. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner Group, welcomed his fighters to Belarus, instructing them to focus on gathering their strength for future operations in Africa while they trained the Belarusian army.
  4. Wagner mercenaries are reportedly shifting their attention away from the Ukraine conflict and preparing for future deployment in Africa.
  5. Despite significant losses in the Ukraine war, the Wagner Group remains a potent force, with up to 10,000 of its fighters expected to be relocated to Belarus.
