NATO Stratcom Director says he sees no direct threat from Wagner mercenaries

Director of the NATO Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence Janis Sarts says he sees no direct military threat from the Wagner mercenaries deployed in Belarus.

This was reported by Delfi.

According to Janis Sarts, Wagner currently has too few forces in Belarus to achieve such a goal, and their weapons are inadequate for such military purposes. 

At the same time, provocations involving Wagner mercenaries at the border cannot be ruled out. Sarts pointed out that some of the Wagner fighters are also former special forces who have been trained to carry out diversionary operations.

The threat level from Wagner has also decreased for the time being, as it does not look like anyone is ready to finance sabotage. "But that may change," said Sarts.
