Poland warns to prepare for a possible attack by the Wagner Group

The Polish Minister for Special Affairs, Stanislaw Zaryn, warned today that “we must be prepared in the event that mercenaries from the Wagner Group are used against Poland”. This was stated this Thursday in an interview, where he also confirmed that these mercenaries are training with the Belarusian Army, less than 100 km from Minsk.

“At the moment there are around a thousand Wagner members in Belarus,” he explained, adding that some estimates say that there may be up to three thousand. “It is not clear what mission they will finally carry out,” he added.

In addition, Zaryn has assured that the arrival of these mercenaries in Belarus “was like a gift for the Belarusian president, Aleksandr Lukashenko, who perhaps thought that with them he could ensure his power.” However, he has warned that this group can quickly get out of his control and become a problem for Belarus itself.. “They are convicts and war criminals who will always be causing problems wherever they are,” he asserted.

In relation to the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border and the construction of a wall, Zaryn explained that “many countries came to our border to take note and learn”. “Lithuania and Latvia have opted for less advanced solutions. It's your decision. Our barrier is undoubtedly one of the most modern physical border barriers. Many countries envy us for an initiative that has been so successful,” he added.
