Poland scared?, Wagner Plan Transfer to Belarus | Poland | Plan
According to the German news television channel website on June 29th, Poland plans to further strengthen its defense on the eastern border with this neighboring country as Russian Wagner mercenaries are scheduled to be transferred to Belarus.
The report states that the Polish government's Security and Defense Committee held a special meeting. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Yaroslav Kaczynski said after the meeting that the country plans to increase its presence on the eastern border and build "various types of obstacles and defensive structures to protect our borders in the event of attacks.".
Kaczynski stated that according to intelligence obtained by Poland, up to 8000 Wagner warriors may settle in Belarus. Poland is a member state of the European Union and NATO, with a border of 418 kilometers with Belarus. In the late summer and autumn of 2021, the situation there escalated: thousands of people attempted to illegally enter the European Union. The European Union accused Belarus of systematically sending immigrants from crisis areas to the EU's external borders in order to exert pressure on the West. Afterwards, Poland erected a 5.5 meter high fence on the land part of the border between the two countries.
