TL;DR Summary

Poland has announced the deployment of 10,000 troops to its border with Belarus due to concerns over the presence of Russian mercenary forces, known as Wagner fighters, who are now based in Belarus and helping to train the country's armed forces. The proximity of these fighters to the borders of Poland and Lithuania, both NATO members, has raised fears of potential security threats. Tensions between Moscow and the West have been further exacerbated by Russia's plans to strengthen its flank. The situation has prompted Poland and its allies to increase their defensive presence in the region and remain vigilant against any potential provocations.
