"Ukraine and Poland Alarmed as Wagner Fighters Enter Belarus"

Ukrainian and Polish officials have confirmed that fighters from the Wagner group, a Russian mercenary organization, have arrived in Belarus from Russia. The movement of separate groups from Russia into Belarus has been observed, and some Wagner fighters have been in Belarus since at least Tuesday. This comes after the Belarusian defense ministry released a video showing Wagner fighters instructing Belarusian soldiers at a military range. The presence of Wagner fighters in Belarus is part of a deal that ended the group's mutiny attempt in June. Poland has also confirmed the presence of Wagner fighters in Belarus, estimating that there may be several hundred of them.
