The Center of National Resistance under the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that, based on information from the Belarusian underground, the russian federation was preparing a provocation on the territory of Belarus in the immediate vicinity of the border with Ukraine.
For this, a group of 80-90 people with light armored vehicles and engineering units arrived in the village of Krupeyki in the Gomel region. The group has been identified as being involved in the so-called PVC mercenaries League (is part of the PVC Wagner).

"One of the scenarios of the provocation is the shelling of the territory of Belarus allegedly by the Armed Forces of Ukraine," the report says. At the same time, it is noted that the scenario may be similar to the one planned in September, when 300 sets of Ukrainian uniforms seized from warehouses in the Kherson region were delivered to the territory of the Belarusian private security agency "GardService".
The mercenaries were divided into two groups (80-90 people) and arrived in the area of Krupiyki village (Loiv district, Gomel region) to perform tasks. The groups have light armored vehicles and awning trucks at their disposal. The groups were reinforced by engineering units.
It should be also note that Minsk has defined the district of the village of Krupeiki as a district with temporary restrictions on entry and exit. The village itself is located on the banks of the Dnieper directly on the border.
Note that HardService not just a private security company. It is the first such enterprise in Belarus and was created by a special decree of Alexander Lukashenko in 2019. The “guards” are based on the territory of the former training center for Belarusian special forces.
