1/3/2022

A prisoner from Belarus is among a group of armed Wagner Group recruits who fled from a training base in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region in December, according to a local information portal.

According to the Donday Russian information site, Russia’s Interior Ministry has issued a “wanted” notice in the Rostov-on-Don region—located near the Ukraine border—for six members of the notorious Wagner Group who are accused of fleeing between December 21 and 22 from a training center in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic.

Among those who escaped from the training center are three Uzbek nationals, a Kyrgyz national, a Russian national, and a Belarusian. “All six are armed and dangerous,” according to Donday, which cited a source in law enforcement.
