DW News The Belarusian Defense Ministry said on Friday that its soldiers were being trained by the Wagner Group.
The ministry said that training was taking place near the town of Osipovichi, situated around 90 kilometers (56 miles) south of Minsk.
"(Wagner) fighters acted as instructors in a number of military disciplines," the ministry said.
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko helped broker a deal ending a brief armed rebellion by Wagner Group mercenaries on June 23-24.
Wagner fighters led by Yevgeny Prigozhin group took control of the southern Russian city of Rostov and made their way in convoy towards Moscow, shooting down a number of military helicopters and killing their pilots.
Under the deal, Prigozhin stood down his mercenaries and agreed to move to Belarus in exchange for Russia dropping mutiny charges. Prigozhin has not been seen in public since leaving Rostov on June 24.
