Context
On July 29, 2020, Belarusian law enforcement agencies detained 33 people. Some of them were representatives of Wagner’s private military company. The names of many detainees are on the list of the Peacemaker website. Most of them, according to the site, fought in the occupied part of Donbass.
On August 14, it became known that the 32 Wagner militants detained in Belarus had been returned to the Russian Federation.
A number of media outlets reported that the SBU and the GUR of the Ministry of Defense allegedly prepared a special operation to detain members of the Wagner APC, but “through a report to President Zelensky and OPU Chairman Ermak” there was an “information leak” that “Belarusian intelligence” learned. .
The Security Service of Ukraine denied the SBU’s participation in the so-called “Wagner special operation” and called it an ordinary fake.
Bellingcat journalist Hristo Grozev announced the release of an investigation into the Wagnerians after the summer. He called the situation a “precedent”, as the Ukrainian secret services actually made a “laughing stock” of Russian intelligence, and now, according to him, the Ukrainian authorities are keeping silent about such an event.
