Poland's Military Maneuvers: 10,000 Troops Mobilized to Belarus Border

Poland is planning to deploy around 10,000 troops to its eastern border with Belarus due to concerns over the presence of Wagner forces in the region. The move comes after alleged violations of Polish airspace by Belarusian military aircraft. The Polish Defense Minister stated that 4,000 soldiers will directly support the border guard, while the remaining 6,000 will be in reserve. Russia has also discussed plans to build up its forces on its western borders, citing increasing militarization in Poland. Lithuania has also strengthened its border in response to the threat from Wagner fighters.

Wagner Forces Approach Polish Border, Raising Concerns

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki expresses concern over the movement of Russian Wagner forces in Belarus towards the Polish border, stating that over 100 mercenaries have advanced towards the Suwalki Gap. This raises security concerns for Poland, which has already been dealing with tensions on its border due to a migration crisis. The Polish government accuses Russia and Belarus of using migrants to destabilize the country and has responded by building a border wall. Poland has also been increasing its defense capabilities to counter potential provocations from the Wagner fighters.
