The troops of PMC Wagner entered the territory of Belarus.



The head of the Ukrainian intelligence service, Major-General Kyrylo Budanov, said during the rate meeting that the GUR closely monitors what is happening on the territory of neighbouring Belarus. In particular, the movement of Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group and the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of the Republic is a priority for surveillance.

In turn, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenski noted the importance of the provided intelligence information about existing and potential threats and challenges from Belarus.

We are very closely monitoring what is happening there in terms of security: as of today, there are no large-scale threats. We are fully focused on the front," said Zelenski.

It should be noted that the State Border Service of Ukraine confirmed the appearance of separate groups of PMC Wagner in Belarus. Russian mercenaries entered Belarus in the morning, 15 July. They travelled through Rogachev towards Babruisk and then - to Osipovichi to the tent camp in the village of Ciel.

Earlier, the Belarusian Defence Ministry said that the Wagnerites "will train local soldiers".
