Poland and other EU countries have expressed concern over training sessions held by the Wagner group for Belarusian troops in western Belarus, near the border with Poland. On Friday, Poland’s security committee said it would move troops toward the east in response to the deployment of the Russian paramilitaries near their border.
Speaking during a Kremlin security council meeting on Friday, the Russian president said Poland was 'dreaming of Belarusian lands' and 'unleashing aggression against Belarus would mean aggression against the Russian Federation'.
