> Wagner mercenaries have started moving towards the Suwalki Gap near Grodno in Belarus, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Saturday.

> “They will probably dress up as Belarusian border guards and help irregular migrants enter Polish territory and destabilise the situation. It is possible that they will also try to enter Poland under the guise of irregular migrants, which poses additional risks,” Morawiecki noted.

> Reacting to the Polish prime minister’s comments, the Lithuanian intelligence said that the situation on the Lithuanian border remains stable.

> The so-called Suwalki Gap is an 80-kilometre stretch of land on the Polish-Lithuanian border, separating Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad and Belarus.

> Wagner fighters started coming to Belarus after their failed June mutiny in Russia, which was reportedly brought to an end by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko who allowed Russian mercenaries to move to his country.
This might end in a rock paper scissors game between the Polish army (about 50.000), the Lithuanian army (about 8.000) and NATOs VJTF (1.600). The winner gets to kick Wagners ass.
Those number are just the result of a quick google search for the mentionend land forces. I will gladly correct them if they are wrong.
Belarus are doing to Poland what france is doing to UK, letting insurgents enter.
It looks more like Belarus is going to up their hybrid war efforts, rather than try to invade Poland with Wagner troops.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Belarus starts shipping tons of migrants to the Polish border again, but this time with Wagner guys and Russian agents mixed in, using the chaos to cross the border and start causing trouble in Poland and the EU.
