Fox News
The Russian private military company Wagner Group has positioned many of its forces in Belarus, a move that could threaten a vital and important NATO border region.
The Russian mercenary group's presence in Belarus comes after an apparent failed uprising by Wagner Group and its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, last month.
