In the wake of Wagner PMC leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s death, there has been a “dynamic decrease” in Wagner mercenaries in Belarus, Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas told Lithuanian news outlet LRT on Sep. 6.
The situation is completely different from what it was three weeks ago, he added.
“I can only mention from public sources that there is a dynamic decrease [in the number of mercenaries]. They are splitting up, moving to other territories, some are going on ‘holiday’ to Russia, [or] they are being recruited by other military companies”, said Anušauskas.
