A field camp for ~8000 people was built near Asipovichy, where the PMC Wagner could be stationed.
@BBCWorld published fresh satellite images of the territory of the former military unit No. 61732 in Tsel village (Asipovichy district, Mahiliou region) dated June 30, 2023. 1/5
They clearly show that construction of the field camp is completed. We managed to detect that there are ~298 tents in the images. We can see that these are M-30 tents, which have an average capacity of 30 people.
2/5
Thus, there’s place for 8940 people. But we note that not all tents are for living. There must also be tents for household needs: toilets, showers, canteens, etc.
3/5
We can state that the camp is built for ~8000 people, these figures coincide with those previously mentioned by the Russian media Vyorstka.

In addition, the image also shows fortifications in the northern part of the former military unit. No construction or military equipment is seen in the image.

Prigozhin is in Belarus, but the PMC Wagner is not: a planned disinformation campaign. Part 1
In the past few days, we have received a lot of information related to the PMC Wagner, Prigozhin and Belarus.
*Everything mentioned in the publication is valid as of 16:30, 28.06.
1/10
As of 16:30 on June 28, the Belarusian Hajun believes that part of the information and statements spread in various sources is a planned disinformation campaign, but there was also truth.
2/10
📍Was Prigozhin in Belarus?
We believe that he was in Belarus on June 27. There’s currently no information about the purpose of his visit, as well as possible further activities. There’s no info whether he flew on his business jet to Moscow yesterday or stayed in Minsk.
3/10
Various Telegram channels spread insides that Prigozhin is already in Minsk, but we can’t confirm this information. However, we can say where his planes, which he usually uses, are.
The first, business jet BAe 125-800B (RA-02731), has been in Moscow since June 22. 1/4
The second, which is his main plane, Embraer Legacy 600 (RA-02795), flew yesterday from St. Petersburg to the south of Russia and returned to St. Petersburg late evening.
Thus, at least we know that Prigozhin didn’t arrive in Belarus by his planes.
2/4
That leaves a few other options:
• he arrived on a regular flight to Minsk National Airport (well, he wasn’t seen there);
• he arrived by An-124 (then he had to teleport to Ulyanovsk);

Yesterday, June 25, at 15:12, An-124 “Ruslan” transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces (RA-82030) landed at Minsk National Airport. The aircraft arrived from Ulyanovsk, Russia, and stayed in Belarus for almost a day. 1/4
On June 26 at 13:03, it flew back to Russia and at 14:15 landed at Vnukovo airport.
It’s unknown what was the purpose for the arrival of the An-124 to Belarus, this could be a commercial flight.
2/4
Earlier, such aircraft brought a batch of Tochka-U missile systems, missiles for Iskander missile system, and other ammunition. However, at that time An-124 arrived at military airfields.
3/4
According to our information, today from 18:25 to 19:10, five Il-76 military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew from Machulishchy airfield back to Russia (to the departure airfield). These aircraft arrived in Belarus from Pskov yesterday evening. 1/5
According to our information, the aircraft left empty. We note that they arrived in Belarus also empty. Thus, the aircraft just stayed at Machulishchy airfield for a day and flew back.
2/5
It’s possible that the purpose of the arrival was to transfer a military contingent from Belarus to Russia to suppress “Prigozhin’s rebellion.” This is indicated by the fact that the aircraft just stayed in Belarus for a day without any activity.
3/5
