The abortive revolt saw Wagner troops capture a military headquarters in southern Russia and march hundreds of kilometers (miles) towards Moscow, seemingly unimpeded.

Belarus building army camp for Wagner fighters? What satellite images, reports suggest

The abortive revolt saw Wagner troops capture a military headquarters in southern Russia and march hundreds of kilometers (miles) towards Moscow, seemingly unimpeded.

Satellite images analysed by the Associated Press on Saturday showed what appeared to be a newly built military-style camp in Belarus, with statements from a Belarusian guerrilla group and officials suggesting it may be used to house fighters from the Wagner mercenary group.
The images provided by Planet Labs PLC suggest that dozens of tents have been erected within the past two weeks at a former military base outside Osipovichi, a town 230 kilometers (142 miles) north of the Ukrainian border. A satellite photo taken on Jun. 15 shows no sign of the rows of white and green structures that are clearly visible in a later image, dated Jun. 30.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin and his fighters escaped prosecution and were offered refuge in Belarus last week after Minsk helped broker a deal to end what appeared to be an armed insurrection by the mercenary group.
The abortive revolt saw Wagner troops capture a military headquarters in southern Russia and march hundreds of kilometers (miles) towards Moscow, seemingly unimpeded.
Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko said his country, a close and dependent ally of Moscow, could use Wagner's experience and expertise, and announced that he had offered the fighters an &ldquo;abandoned military unit&rdquo; to set up camp.
Aliaksandr Azarau, leader of the anti-Lukashenko BYPOL guerrilla group of former military members, told the Associated Press by phone on Thursday that construction of a site for Wagner mercenaries was underway near Osipovichi.

Belarus jails Nobel peace prize winner Ales Bialiatski to 10-years in jail

<ul>
<li>Belarus jails Nobel peace prize winner Ales Bialiatski to 10 years in jail</li>
<li>Bialiatski was the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize winner</li>
<li>3 other human rights activists also convicted</li>
</ul>

A Belarusian court on Friday sentenced Ales Bialiatski, Belarus' top human rights advocate and one of the winners of the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, to 10 years in prison.
Bialiatski and three other top figures of the Viasna human rights centre he founded were convicted of financing anti-government protests.
They were arrested and jailed after massive protests over a 2020 election that gave authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko a new term in office.
Lukashenko &mdash; in office since 1994 &mdash; has suppressed opposition and cracked down on independent news media.
The 2020 protests persisted for several months, the largest wave of protest to hit Belarus, and authorities took harsh action. More than 35,000 people were arrested, and thousands were beaten by police.
The charges against Bialiatski and his colleagues were connected to Viasna's provision of money to political prisoners and helping pay their legal fees.

Amid speculation that Russia might be preparing to move towards the end of its military campaign, Ukrainian forces received a fresh boost. Media outlet The Kyiv Independent claimed that a battalion of fighters from neighbouring Belarus had joined the Ukrainian military.
Interestingly, Belarus is a close ally of Russia, and was accused of being used a launching ground for Moscow's military assault on Ukraine.
The Kyiv Independent posted a video on Twitter of Belarusian fighters purportedly taking an oath to join the Ukrainian forces. In the unverified video, the oath was taken in Belarusian language, which is endangered, as per the report.
The outlet claimed that Belarus' autocratic leader Alexander Lukashenko favours and promotes the Russian language. Lukashenko is considered a vassal of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, the Russian military claimed that its main objective was the liberation of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine. This was seen as an effort by Moscow to save face after its military got bogged down in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance.

It added that attacks are being carried out in Luhansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Zhytomyr regions &mdash; areas on the eastern and northern borders of Ukraine.
Ukraine has claimed that the attacks are targeting border units, border patrols and checkpoints using artillery, heavy equipment and small arms.
Ukraine has also said that it has been attacked from the Crimea side as well. Russia had annexed Crimea, which was a part of Ukraine, in 2014.
Ukraine government said that its forces are firing back.

Large groups of migrants sat behind wired fences on the Belarusian side of the border with Poland as a tense migration standoff between Warsaw, Minsk and the European Union continued.
The European Union has accused Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko of using the migrants as pawns in a "hybrid attack" against the bloc in retaliation for imposing sanctions on the authoritarian government for a brutal internal crackdown on dissent.
Thousands were jailed and beaten following months of protests after Lukashenko won a sixth term in a 2020 election that the opposition and the West saw as rigged.
The EU is calling for humanitarian aid as up to 4,000 migrants are stuck in makeshift camps in freezing weather in Belarus while Poland has reinforced its border with 15,000 soldiers, in addition to border guards and police.
The EU has expressed solidarity with Poland's guarding the bloc's external border.
&ldquo;What we have been witnessing recently, as you've said, is a very well orchestrated, prepared by the Belarusian regime, operation where the people are instrumentalized,&rdquo; said Marcin Przydacz, Poland's deputy foreign minister.
"It is a very cynical game where the people are, as I said, used us as bullets," he added.
Belarus' borders with Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are also the eastern borders of both the EU and NATO.
The EU says Lukashenko's authoritarian regime has for months invited migrants to the Belarusian capital of Minsk, many of them Iraqis, Afghanis and Syrians, with the promise of helping them across the border.
Meanwhile, Lithuanian officials said they were seeing a rising number of attempts by migrants to cross its border from Belarus.
The 27-country EU has already imposed four sets of sanctions on Belarus authorities and senior officials over the disputed election last year that returned Lukashenko to office and his government's brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters.
The EU is preparing a fifth lot of sanctions on Belarus.
On Monday the bloc&rsquo;s foreign ministers extended the scope of those measures to add airlines, travel agents and others accused of helping to bring migrants to Minsk.
