Due to the transfer of Russian Wagner mercenaries to neighboring Belarus, Poland is moving hundreds of policemen to the eastern border. The 500 officers, including members of the anti-terror unit, would join the 2,000 soldiers and 5,000 border guards currently stationed at the border.
Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski announced this on Twitter on Sunday. Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who is responsible for security, recently announced that the number of uniformed troops will be increased and border fortifications will be reinforced.
418 km long border with Belarus
According to Kaczynski, Poland has information that up to 8,000 Wagner fighters could be housed in Belarus (Belarus). EU and NATO member Poland shares a 418 kilometer border with Belarus.
Meanwhile, the head of the mercenary force, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had occupied the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don last weekend and then marched his fighters towards Moscow. Surprisingly, he gave up about 200 kilometers from the Russian capital. Lukashenko mediated in the conflict.
Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin assured Prigozhin and his mercenaries of impunity. According to Lukashenko, the head of the Wagner group has now arrived in Belarus. Lukashenko has also offered mercenary army fighters a place in his country.
Wagner mercenaries set up camp
According to American experts, the mercenary group Wagner is now building military camps in Belarus, which is an ally of Moscow. That would show pictures from satellites taken in mid-June or on Friday. Some Western observers fear that the Wagner group could open a second front against Ukraine.
