Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that more than a hundred Wagner PMC fighters moved towards the Suwalki corridor - this is the shortest land route between Belarus and the Kaliningrad region, which passes through the border areas of Lithuania and Poland. Morawiecki quotes Weborcza.
The Prime Minister called what is happening "a step towards a further hybrid attack on Polish territory." According to him, the "Wagnerites" under the guise of Belarusian border guards will help illegal migrants get to Poland, or they will pretend to be migrants in order to illegally cross the border. Morawiecki called Prigozhin's mercenaries "ruthless criminals and murderers."
Earlier, Alexander Lukashenko, during a meeting with Vladimir Putin , said that the fighters of Wagner PMC "began to strain" him, as they "want to go to the West." He also showed Putin "a map for the transfer of the armed forces of Poland to the borders of the Union State."
Shortly before this, Putin at a meeting of the Security Council said that Poland plans to "intervene in the conflict" in Ukraine in order to "tear off a fatter piece for itself, to regain, as they believe, their historical territories - today's Western Ukraine." “It is well known that they also dream of the Belarusian lands,” Putin said.
