Almost all Russian military personnel have been withdrawn from the territory of Belarus, the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service of Ukrainу Andriy Demchenko informed. More recently, approximately 2 000 Russian soldiers were stationed there.

But Russian soldiers may reappear on the territory of Belarus as part of another rotation because Russia continues to use the republic as a training ground.

Demchenko also noted that currently, the Border Guard Service does not observe an organized redeployment of Russian mercenaries from private military companies, such as the PMC "Wagner", to Belarus.

However, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus stated that the fighters of the PMC "Wagner" are already instructing the Belarusian military. The agency showed a video from the training ground, where the journalist and the military praised the experience of the "Wagnerians". The training takes place near the town of Osypovychi, where a camp has been set up for the "Wagnerians".
