According to US analysts, the latest satellite images show a significant number of vehicles at the Wagner camp in Belarus, indicating an increase in the number of vehicles between 1 and 9 August.
The PMC “Wagner” mercenaries are present at the facilities in Belarus, and it is still difficult to say about the possibility of their return to Russian territory. This is stated in the report of the Institute for War Studies (ISW).
Researchers reported that a source close to the “Wagnerians” published photos on August 10 that spoke of the activities of mercenaries in the Brest region. In particular, they show that Wagner trainers continue to train the Belarusian army.
“Recent satellite images show a significant number of vehicles at the Wagner camp in Tseli and may even show more vehicles arriving at the base between 1 and 9 August,” the analysts said.
The ISW stressed that they have yet to find signs that disprove the latest 8 August assumptions that Wagner PMC has delivered 500 to 600 mercenaries by bus from Belarus to the Krasnodar Territory, Voronezh and Rostov regions.
“So far, Wagner PMC leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has not commented on this conflicting information directly or through mediators, as he has done before. It is likely that Prigozhin does not have complete freedom to comment on the future of his lineage,” the report said.

before 10 August, Focus He wrote that mercenaries from the Russian private military company “Wagner” tried to apply psychological pressure and imitate the arrival at the Polish border. In particular, they said that about 250 mercenaries from the PMC “Wagner” were conducting underground maneuvers along the Belarusian-Polish border.
Recall that on August 8, the CNS suggested that the Russian Federation could use the “Wagnerians” to support the information operation to put pressure on European countries. Its aim is to force EU countries to reduce support for Ukraine.
The report of the Institute for Combat Studies (ISW) on August 9 said that, probably, the agreement with which the Wagner PMC fighters ended on the territory of the Republic of Belarus was unsuccessful. A Russian insider source spoke about the first phase of the outflow of mercenaries from Belarus to the Krasnodar Territory, Voronezh and Rostov regions of the Russian Federation. The movement is carried out in groups of 500-600 people.
Also on August 8, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said that there are 6.5 thousand Wagner PMC representatives in Belarus, which can provoke Poland and Lithuania. A new camp is being built for them near the settlement of Zyabrovka. This may indicate the intention to use them to simulate destructive activities on the border of the Chernihiv region.
