Lithuania, like Poland, to strengthen border security with Belarus

Lithuania, like Poland, has decided to strengthen border security with Belarus due to the presence of mercenaries from the Wagner PMC.

This was reported by Delfi.

Currently, Lithuanian border guards do not observe any particular provocations or additional activity near the border with Belarus and Russia. However, the likelihood of provocations remains high.

"The situation on the border with Belarus and Russia is now stable. It remains tense. The likelihood of provocations is high, given that Wagner mercenaries are now deployed in Belarus," said Rustamas Liubajevas, head of the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service, after the meeting with the president.

The country is considering increasing the contingent at the border.
