Quote: "In terms of what we're seeing in Belarus, I've seen the reporting that Wagner troops continue to move into that region and continue to, I think, consolidate there. Look, I would let the Belarusians and Wagner speak to what their intentions are. We've certainly seen Wagner forces get sort of reintegrated within the Russian military."

Background:

• There are about 500 wheeled vehicles near the Wagner Group's camp in Belarus.
• On 19 July, a ninth convoy of Wagner PMC mercenaries was spotted in Belarus.
