Construction of camps for Wagner Group mercenaries has begun in the Belarusian region of Mogilov, about 200 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the Verstka research portal reported Monday.
According to this independent Russian news portal, several camps are already being set up, one of which is near the town of Asipovichy, covering an area of 24,000 square meters, with a capacity of 8,000 beds.
Wagner Group mercenaries staged a 24-hour armed uprising led by their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, this weekend, taking the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and advancing as far as 200 kilometers from Moscow.
The uprising ended with an agreement brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, according to the Kremlin, that Prigozhin be sent into exile in Belarus in exchange for immunity for himself and his mercenaries.
Mercenaries who did not directly participate in the mutiny can sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense.
According to the investigation of the Verstka portal, the information that the mercenaries would be sent to Belarus was also confirmed by relatives of members of the Wagner Group.
