Poland on High Alert as Wagner Mercenaries Approach Border
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has warned that over 100 Russian-linked Wagner group mercenaries have moved close to the Poland-Belarus border, specifically the Suwalki Gap. Poland, a member of the EU and NATO, has expressed concerns about its security with Russian ally Belarus and Ukraine on its eastern border. The presence of the mercenaries has heightened these fears, as Poland accuses Russia and Belarus of using migrants to destabilize the country. The Polish government has responded by building a high wall along part of its border with Belarus, and Morawiecki sees the mercenaries' proximity as a step towards a further hybrid attack on Polish territory.
