"Wagnerivtsi" want to Warsaw: Lukashenko told Putin about the hike to the west (video)
During the conversation, the Belarusian politician in a joking tone stated that the mercenaries with Wagner's PEC allegedly pressed on him to go to Warsaw and Rzeszow. Video with Lukashenko's words was posted on Euronews. "We were started to strain, they ask to the West. Let us . . . I tell you, why are you west? The Belarusian politician explained that the mercenaries had a special attitude towards Rzeszow, because when they fought in Bakhmut, they knew "where military equipment came from" to Ukraine.
"And in them it sits inside, she was a trouble. Of course, they did not want to relocate them there, because they have bad moods," Lukashenko added. At the same time, he noted that he himself also asked Putin to pay attention to it. In this regard, Polish experts stressed that Lukashenko's words should be treated with great care, as he tries to sow panic and fear among Polish politicians and public opinion.
"Lukashenko is well aware that the media will spread his words to convey them to the Polish public within the information war," - writes Defense 24. He wants to show the weakness of the Polish state and the Polish army, so Poland will probably have to face the provocations on the border.
This is not Lukashenko's first attempt with Putin to cause panic in Polish society: the same was the same during the Polish-Belarusian border crisis, when Lukashenko used people in a hybrid surgery against Poland, experts reminded.
Officials have not yet reacted to the words of the Belarusian politician, but previously a government -commissioner for the safety of Poland's information space, Stanislav Zharin said that "Wagnerivtsi" was often present in the propaganda of the Russian Federation and Belarus as a force that can pose a real threat to Poland and cause fear in Poles.
For its part, the Polish Defense Ministry emphasized that the borders of Poland are safe and the situation on the eastern border is under constant supervision. "We are ready to develop various scenarios as the situation is developing," the defense department assures. We will remind, Alexander Lukashenko is again convinced that the attack is being prepared on Belarus, but this time from Poland. According to him, he is ready to show on the map "where the soil was preparing" for the attack.
