Wagner Boss Prigozhin's Exile Raises Concerns in Belarus and the West

Satellite images and local reports suggest that Belarus is constructing a camp for exiled Wagner mercenaries following their failed revolt. The images show construction activity at a military compound near Asipovichy, with local residents witnessing a large number of construction workers. Belarusian lawmakers have ratified an agreement for joint Russian-Belarusian combat training centers, while President Lukashenko confirmed the arrival of Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in Belarus. Prigozhin stated that Lukashenko offered the mercenaries to "work in a lawful jurisdiction," and Russian President Putin gave them the choice of signing contracts with the Russian army or leaving for Belarus.
