Spillover of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Since 24 February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reportedly spilled over into several countries that border Ukraine. Among these are Russia, Transnistria,[1] and Poland. Notable incidents include 2022 missile explosion in Poland,[2] the 2023 Belgorod Oblast incursions,[3] and the Wagner Group rebellion.[4]

In Russia
On 23 June 2023, the Wagner Group rebelled against the Ministry of Defense after Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were attacked Wagner forces in Ukraine.[5] In response, Wagner seized control of Rostov-on-Don and began advancing northwards along the M4 highway towards Moscow. By 24 June, Wagner rebels had shot down four Russian Air Force helicopters and captured Voronezh. Vladimir Putin condemned the rebellion as treasonous. After entering Moscow Oblast, Wagner halted their advance and entered negotiations with Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. Wagner forces have since been told to go to Belarus.
