More than 100 troops from the Russian mercenary group Wagner are moving toward a thin strip of land between Poland and Lithuania, according to Poland’s prime minister, who warned they could pose as migrants to cross the border
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Saturday that his government had received information that the Wagner mercenaries were not far from Grodno, a city in western Belarus close to the land, which is also known as the Suwalki gap or corridor. Thousands of Wagner troops are reportedly in Belarus following a failed military uprising in Russia.
But deploying Russian-allied forces near the Suwalki corridor would represent an escalation that could rattle NATO and EU members. Though just 60 miles long, the corridor is strategically important to NATO, the EU, Russia and Belarus. The border region connects the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad to Belarus and it is the only overland link between the Baltic states and the rest of the EU.
