Is this movement of Prigozhin's troops at all ominous?

Some say that the location of Prigozhin himself is not presently known.

Can this troop movement be part of the Russian Maskirovka--a deceptive scheme to split and defeat Ukrainian forces?

Can these Wagner militants move on Ukraine in a pincer-move from the North--while the battle in the South seems to be currently stalemated?

How can these Wagner forces so easily be moved North into these camps--already under construction? And Kyev just across the border of this Russian miliary build-up in Belarus

The unbelievable seems to be unfolding in Belarus.

I am sure the situation is very fluid and western analysis, particularly what MSM tells us - is faulty

But I don’t see how movement of Wagner, if the idea is to attack form the north (as many claim), can be hidden.

They must gather forces, even for a quick strike, and that would be immediately obvious to American space-based and signal intelligence.

Who is paying their salaries? I don’t think Shoigu will sign the next check.

. . So, about one of the relatives, citing her friend, said that the remaining Wagner units in Rostov-on-Don would be sent to Belarus. Another interlocutor of the publication said that her husband, who was in Rostov on June 24, informed her about the shipment to Belarus “most likely.”
******************************************************************************

Many people don’t know that only about 4,000 of Wagner’s forces went to Russia. The rest remained in their bases in Ukraine. That is from sources in which I place most credibility.

But whoever says they know, with certainty, exactly what is going on now and what will be going on in the future relative to this is FULL OF IT. I suspect the main players themselves are wondering “what the hell next”. Just sayin’.

This is what happens when people have no liberties. Loaded on rail cars, moved and dumped off like chattel.

All that’s missing is the stop in a quarry on the way with NKVD machine guns waiting for them.

it's not a pincer movement aim

The Russians tried that back in Feb 2022 and it failed

line of Russian tanks destroyed

you know - they could have just TOLD Prigo to move to Belarus. Why the drama

Can these Wagner militants move on Ukraine in a pincer-move from the North-


At last count there were something like 80K UA troops on that border. The terrain is mostly swamp and bog; the rest is heavily forested. There are only a few roads that are usable and they all are cut and mined.

Any attempt by a handful of Wagners to cross is a suicide mission.

The only possible route from Belarus to Ukraine in the North is through Poland - which is again a suicide mission.

As has been speculated for a while on some back channels, Uncle Luka doesn’t trust his army or his people!

area of the camp will be 24 thousand square meters

About equal to one and one half Walmart stores, just the building not the parking lot.

TENTS?... What a target!

A couple of rounds would wipe out the cluster f.

While I may dislike Lukasenko I do believe he has triangulated every situation to keep Belarus out of that war.
I believe stationing Wagner forces there is a way for Putin to force Lukasenko to play ball.

Join in the war against Ukraine or Wagner will remove you and put a full puppet in your place.

Lukasenko may be a dictator but he has effectively kept Belarus out of the war.
