Poland and Lithuania are considering closing the border. "Wagner didn't come to Belarus for fun," Wagner | Belarus | Poland
According to Agence France Presse on July 28th, the Deputy Minister of the Interior of Lithuania, Arnoldas Abramavicus, said on the same day that due to concerns about the existence of the Wagner mercenary group in Belarus, Poland and Lithuania are considering closing their respective borders with Belarus.
He said, "This consideration is real. There is a possibility of closing the border."
According to reports, Belarus subsequently took in the Wagner mercenary group after a "rebellion" against senior Russian military officials.
Lithuania has repeatedly warned its Western allies that Wagner may disguise himself as an asylum seeker, attempting to cross the border between Belarus and EU member states, or launching provocative actions involving refugees.

Kaczynski said, "They were there to create various types of crises, mainly targeting Poland." He also said that Poland has been strengthening its defense capabilities, "in order to make these provocations and activities fail.".
According to reports, Poland and Lithuania have both built walls in their border areas with Belarus and Russia, accusing Minsk and Moscow of carefully arranging immigration into the European Union to destabilize it.
According to the German news television channel website on July 28th, due to mutual sanctions between Warsaw and Minsk, normal traffic on the border between Poland and Belarus has been greatly restricted.
According to reports, Belarusian President Lukashenko emphasized during a meeting with Russian President Putin that Minsk "controls" the situation. Lukashenko said to Putin, "They are going west... to Warsaw and Reyshev. But of course, I will keep them in the center of Belarus as we agreed."
Poland has deployed additional troops from the west to the east to guard against any changes in Wagner mercenaries.
