Lukashenko boots Wagner out of Belarus

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko has reportedly kicked the Wagner PMC out of Belarus, after refusing to finance the Russian mercenaries.

But reports have now emerged suggesting Lukashenko has refused to finance their stay in the country and the mercenaries are being 'bussed' back to Russia for a “vacation.” According to the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, operations to remove all Wagner Group men began earlier in the month, with a second phase to remove the rest going into effect this weekend.

Wagner’s services don’t come cheap. Putin recently admitted that the Kremlin has spent around $1bn on the private military company last year, using state budget funds. Previously the Kremlin denied all knowledge of Wagner.

VChK-OGPU said the men headed for Russia are mercenaries that rejected re-assignment to Libya, where the Group has been operating for years.

'A source of the Cheka-OGPU said that after the meeting of PMC Wagner, everyone who did not sign up for a business trip to Libya was urgently sent on vacation to Russia,” VChK-OGPU posted on its channel. “Right now, mercenaries in Belarus are packing their bags and going back to Russia on vacation. At the same time, everyone was asked to stay in touch with PMCs, since at any moment a certain command from above could follow.' Earlier Lukashenko said that the Wagner forces would be used to train the Belarusian army.

Pooty-poot has to hide behind someone, unfortunately, he can't trust any of the others at all.

No good guys involved in the whole mess. From the region all the way to Washington.

This may turn out to be fake news or some murky Russian machination, discernible to Westerners only in its results.

The question that puzzles me is who is your Biden hiding behind?

The Russian smoke generators on the Kerch Bridge apparently didn't create enough smoke to mask the Glorious Spring-Summer-Fall-Winter Counteroffensive Fail, that offends me, and offends you.

If they’re without a country where would they go. Ukraine.

A prostitute will do it with anybody. A slut will do it with anyone but you.

Sounds appealing...

Biden is hiding behind in part, the many ignorant and western media looks is drinkers in this country.

They are apparently clueless about how the US hires marketing companies to sell lies to the public and demonize the intended leader of the next war escapade.

Better education is badly needed in this country when MSN is considered trustworthy. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Wagner is moving to Africa. They will set up training camps and recruit by the hundreds of thousands.

No,smart move by Putin — boost them out before they give the Polish ruling party an excuse to win the election by entering the war.

But you are dead wrong.

Too much CNN for you.
