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

You know nothing about Russia, btw. Armchair ignorance and your best buddy - the western media on your tv set.
People like you focus on Putin instead of facing the fact that he would be light years better as a leader than what we have now.
I assume you like the western globohomo movement and support it. That is what you are saying.
Downstater, correct?
Thought so.
And actually they are recruiting in Poland currently.
It's both amusing and bemusing to see spreaders of Putin's agitprop here on FR.
Wagner is a mercenary group created by and for Putin to give him plausible denial in his never-ending pursuit of power and wealth.
The Wagners attacked US forces in Iraq and got their asses handed to them.
They've been in Libya for years, despite having been asked to leave by both rival factions there.
All you’re doing is spewing more of Putin’s agitprop. That’s all you’re here to do.
You clearly prefer the Russians and their historical adversarial stance against the US. That just means you’re anti-American, and like all such trash, you don’t belong on FR.
Not founded by Putin.
Not in Iraq.
Armchair russophobes are the most amusing of all. Why is their name Wagner and what is their nickname?
This is a decent summary to help you on your way to losing MSM brainwashing.
In the past year and a half, Biden's shown that he's a much better and more effective grifter than Putin. Until Pooty started the Russian suicide last year, they were on the same side vis a vis Ukraine. Thanks to Putin's stupid moves, Biden will get credit for the defeat of Russia, and our eventual outright purchase of what passes for / is left of Russia's nuclear arsenal.
Wrong. Russia is the long-term adversary of the US. So is Biden, for that matter. The world can do without either having any further impact.
“...their historical adversarial stance against the US. “
If you are banning everyone against the current US Regime, that is every conservative, every traditionalist, every nationalist, every Trump supporter.
Again, Russian agitprop is all you spread here.
I very clearly said nothing of the kind, but nice try.
Are you aware it began in 2014, not last year, with the shelling of innocent ethnic Russians in the Dunbass by Kiev. Nearly 15,000 civilians by January 2022. You're welcome.
That is another lie from you. I am active on lots of threads.
It did not. Russia’s aggressions are rooted in Russia, not Ukraine.
No, you’re lying, because that’s what liars do.
Childish talk from someone who is choosing to remain woefully ignorant. For someone who posts about dinosaur bones and pirate treasure, the concept of history is lost on you.
Maturity escaped you, so far at least.
You sound like a third grader.
I won’t bother trying to have a discussion with you again.
