There is an actual redeployment of Russian mercenaries of the “Wagner group” to Belarus, together with its leader Yevgeny Krasivy. These are very negative signals for us, which we want to convey to our allies,” Duda said during a press briefing before flying to The Hague, Polsat News reports.
In The Hague, Duda will hold consultations on the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius. According to him, issues of strengthening the security of the eastern flank, in particular Poland and the Baltic countries, will also be discussed there.
We saw the capabilities of these mercenaries, – Reuters quotes the head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry.
His colleague from Lithuania assessed the speed of movement of the “Wagnerites” on the way to Moscow and pointed out the need to strengthen the defense of the Baltic countries.
The borders of our countries are only hundreds of kilometers from this activity, so it may take eight to ten hours for them to suddenly appear somewhere in Belarus near Lithuania, Landsbergis added.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda also believes that if Prigozhin and Wagner are on the territory of Belarus, NATO needs to strengthen the eastern border.
