Belarus buried soldiers of the national military forces that signed contracts with Russian Private military companies and took part in the war against Ukraine
Funerals of service members who have agreed to sign contracts with Russian Russian Private military companies s took place in several settlements of Belarus. In particular, mourning for the deceased contract soldier took place in the town of Maryina Gorka, Minsk region (based on 5 separate special brigade). A retired officer and a former contract soldier were buried in Osipovichi, Mogilev Region (based on 51 mixed artillery groups).
In general, participation in the war against Ukraine is unpopular among the Belarusian military. There is no serious agitation or propaganda in the military units. However, it is known about cases of the voluntary signing of contracts with various Russian Private military companies. The main reason for this is the money promised to participate in Ukrainian territory hostilities.
But after a series of funerals and news of the "missing", the number of those willing to try their luck decreased.
