Wagner trains soldiers in Belarus after foiled mutiny in Russia

Fighters from the Wagner group have arrived in Belarus from Russia, Ukrainian and Polish officials said on Saturday, a day after Minsk said the mercenaries were training the country's soldiers southeast of the capital.

Belarus says it has reached an agreement with Russia’s Wagner mercenary group to train its soldiers after Wagner’s leader and fighters staged a brief mutiny last month against the Kremlin’s military leadership.

The Belarusian defence ministry said in a statement on Friday that it had developed a roadmap with the Wagner Group’s management 'for the near future for training and transfer of experience between units of different branches of the armed forces'.
