August 3, BPN<\/em>.<\/strong> Moscow and Minsk have ratcheted up tension at the Polish border, including with the help of the Wagner Group mercenaries, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has told Lithuanian President Gitanas Naus\u0117da.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effort is intended to destabilize Poland, create uncertainty and expose the weakness of NATO’s eastern flank, he said. Poland reacts to these provocations “in the most decisive way,” the prime minister’s office quoted<\/a> Morawiecki as saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 4,000 Russian mercenaries currently deployed in Belarus represent a “real threat,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lithuania is reportedly considering closing the border to Belarus but needs to coordinate the move with Warsaw and Riga. Vilnius stepped up border security after the Wagner Group’s deployment to Belarus. Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka and Russian President Vladimir Putin may be tempted to use the mercenaries to provoke NATO countries, Naus\u0117da noted, according to his press office<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presence of mercenaries in Belarus represents a serious threat to security and requires vigilance and readiness for any developments, the Lithuanian president said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed the importance of reinforcing shared borders with Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave as well as intensifying intelligence in the border areas and stepping up cooperation between border guards and the army. Vilnius is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to counter all threats to its security, Naus\u0117da noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NATO should be informed about the additional risks posed by the Wagner Group, the official said. The mercenaries\u2019 actions would be considered actions taken by the Russian authorities, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
