Wagner troops in Belarus want to visit Poland to exact revenge for Ukraine support, claims Lukashenko
Two major Polish cities were reportedly cited as possible targets for the Russian paramilitary group
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reportedly told Vladimir Putin on Sunday that mercenaries from the Wagner Group now stationed in Belarus “are keen to take a trip to Warsaw and Rzeszów” to take revenge for Poland’s military help to Ukraine, according to reports in the Polish media.
The pair met in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg over the weekend, and Lukashenko brought with him a map showing the deployment of Polish troops, which he argued proved Poland was preparing to attack Belarus.
He also told Putin of the Wagner Group’s eagerness to punish Poles for their unwavering support of Ukraine during the ongoing conflict. Both the Polish capital of Warsaw and the southeastern city of Rzeszów, a NATO hub for the supply of arms and munitions for Ukraine, were reportedly cited as possible targets.
Poland has increased the number of troops on its border with Belarus to counteract any moves by Wagner troops and to help border guards in their effort to combat the illegal migration being facilitated by Belarusian authorities.
