About a hundred fighters of the private military company (PMC) “Wagner” were transferred to the regions bordering the Suwalki corridor, which separates Belarus from the Kaliningrad region of Russia. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki expressed concern about this during his visit to a weapons factory in the Polish province of Upper Silesia on 29 July.
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that more than a hundred people from the PMC “Wagner” were moving to the border of Belarus. According to his information, they are moving to the Suwalki corridor.
“It is likely that they will masquerade as Belarusian border guards and help illegal migrants to infiltrate into Poland to destabilise the country. It is also likely that they will also try to enter Poland under the guise of illegal migrants, which will create additional risks,” the Polish prime minister said.
Morawiecki regarded the movement of fighters across the territory of Belarus as “a continuation of the hybrid offensive on Polish territory.”
Earlier in Poland, two units were formed to counter the PMC “Wagner. Polish Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said that the new Polish military engineering battalion would be deployed near the Suwalki corridor, he and other units are created to strengthen defence against “threats sounding from Minsk.” The first such unit was a sapper battalion.
