Belarus Allegedly Constructs Army Camp for Wagner Fighters, Raising Concerns
TL;DR
Satellite images suggest that Belarus has built a military-style camp, potentially to house fighters from the Wagner mercenary group. The camp, located near the town of Osipovichi, was reportedly offered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to provide refuge for Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters. Up to 8,000 Wagner fighters may be deployed in Belarus, prompting Ukraine to strengthen its border with Belarus. Lukashenko has previously allowed the Kremlin to use Belarusian territory for military purposes and has welcomed a continued Russian armed presence.
