Belarus has announced its forces are carrying out exercises with mercenaries from Russia's Wagner Group near the border with Poland. In response, Poland is boosting its forces deployed along the border. The Wagner group was relocated to Belarus following last month's uprising against Russia's top military brass. The Russian government said on Thursday that Warsaw’s decision to bolster its forces along its border with Belarus in response to the presence of Wagner mercenary fighters was "a cause for concern". Poland had previously announced it was also sending 500 police to boost up security on the border to cope with rising numbers of migrants crossing, as well as the prospect of a Wagner presence.
