 Poland, to deploy troops closer to Belarus because of Wagner fighters. Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of National Defence of Poland, has instructed that Polish troops be from the west to the east of the country due to the possible threats related to the presence of the Wagner Private Military Company in Belarus. Polish news agency PAP reported it, citing Zbigniew Hoffman, Secretary of the Polish Security Committee. Exercises or joint exercises of the Belarusian Army and the Wagner Group is undoubtedly a provocation, Hoffman said. Earlier, the Ministry of Defence of Belarus announced joint exercises of its special forces and members of the Wagner Private Military Company at a training ground near Poland. Hoffman reported that a meeting of the Polish Security Committee had taken place, which, among other things, analysed possible threats such as the deployment of Wagner Private Military Company units. This is why Mariusz Blaszczak, the Minister of National Defence and head of the committee decided to move out military units from the west to the east of Poland, Hoffman said. The task of these units is training as well as deterring a potential aggressor, Hoffman said. The Ministry of Defence of Poland, in response to the news about the training of the Wagner fighters at the border training ground, noted that they are monitoring the situation and that the borders of the country are safe.
