Literally: “A camp for about 8,000 people. A field camp has been built near Osipovichi, where, possibly, the Wagner PMC will be located.”
The BBC Verify edition received the latest satellite images of the territory of the former HF No. 61732 in the village. Target (Osipovichi district, Mogilev region) for June 30, 2023″.
Details: The footage clearly shows that the construction of the field camp has been completed.
The monitoring group calculated that there are about 298 tents in the photo: “You can see that these are M-30 tents, which can accommodate 30 people on average.”
