Russian Wagner Group Involvement

Earlier, the leader of the Russian Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, commented on Lithuania\’s increased protection of the border with Belarus, saying that he had not yet reached Minsk and, in his words, terror had begun in European countries.

Prigozhin on his Telegram page also reprinted the statements of the President of Lithuania, in which he called for strengthening the eastern wing of NATO after it was decided that the Wagner commander would go to Belarus.

Prigozhin indicated that these measures would not have taken place without his move to Belarus.

Notably, Prigozhin\’s whereabouts after leaving Rostov on Saturday are unknown until now, while the Kremlin\’s statement said he was on his way to Belarus.

The armed uprising that occupied the world, led by Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, ceased after the latter\’s decision to leave Russia through the mediation of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

International Response

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda considered that NATO would have to “strengthen” its eastern wing if Belarus hosted Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Russian armed group Wagner.
