Suwalki Gap: Tension increases as Belarus begins military exercise at Polish-Lithuanian border

Belarus has started military exercises near its border with Poland and Lithuania, a move coming with tensions already heightened with the two NATO members over Russia-linked Wagner mercenaries moving to Belarus after their short-lived mutiny in Russia.Both Poland and Lithuania have increased border security since thousands of Wagner fighters arrived in Russian-allied Belarus under a deal that ended their armed rebellion in late June and allowed them and their leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, to avoid criminal charges.

The Belarusian Defense Ministry said the drills that began yesterday are based on experiences from “the special military operation” — the term Russia uses for its war in Ukraine.

It said that includes the “use of drones as well as the close interaction of tank and motorized rifle units with units of other branches of the armed forces.” #Polandbelarustension #Suwalkigap #Wagnersuwalkicorridor ~HT.98~PR.153~ED.194~
