Details: The National Resistance Centre cites the Belarusian resistance movement, which says that 130 Russian Liga PMC mercenaries arrived in Minsk with weapons and ammunition on 20 September.

On 22 September, 300 sets of Ukrainian military uniforms, which were seized from warehouses in Kherson Oblast, were delivered to GardService, a Belarusian security company which is being used as the base for the Russian mercenaries.

Quote: "Possible subversive operations are expected in the vicinity of Pinsk, Ivanovo and Kobrin. Such operations play into the hands of Moscow, which seeks to involve additional forces in the war [in Ukraine], in particular [the Armed Forces of the Republic of] Belarus.

Details: The National Resistance Centre notes that GardService is more than a private security company. It is, in fact, considered to be the first PMC created in Belarus. It was created by a special decree issued by Aleksandr Lukashenko, the self-proclaimed President of Belarus, in 2019. The company is based at the former training centre for Belarusian special forces.
