Poland and Lithuania Warn Against ‘Provocations’ From Wagner in Belarus

Russia’s Wagner Group might carry out “sabotage actions” and their threat should not be underestimated, said Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Thursday, warning that the mercenary group’s provocations are an attempt to destabilize NATO.
Morawiecki and Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda met at the Suwałki Gap to discuss the threat posed by the Wagner forces, some of whom have relocated to Belarus following the aborted mutiny in June against the Kremlin.

The incursion into Poland by two Belarusian choppers was a deliberate move intended to provoke Warsaw, according to a report published Wednesday in Polish media outlet Onet.

But a few commissioners have the questionable honor of being on the summer roster, staying behind as the person on duty should an emergency arise. Former Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker introduced the system in 2017 to show that the EU never

A group of Wagner mercenaries in Belarus has moved closer to the Polish border and may stage a “hybrid attack” inside the EU country by posing as illegal migrants, Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki warned.
Speaking at a press conference in southern Poland on Saturday, Morawiecki said that more than 100 mercenaries had moved close to the city of Grodno, near the Suwałki Gap — a narrow strategic stretch of Polish and Lithuanian territory that separates Belarus from the Russian

KYIV — Ukraine has ended its ban on its athletes competing against Russians and Belarusians in international competitions — so long as Moscow’s and Minsk’s athletes are participating under a neutral banner.
However, the ban is still in force stopping Ukrainians from competing against Russians and Belarusians who perform under their national flags, use the national symbols in public during sports events, or make any public statements or actions backing the Russian or Belarusian regimes.
