Government officials from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia demanded on Monday that Belarus expel the Russian mercenary group Wagner from its territory, amid heightened tensions related to Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The four countries — which are all NATO members and, except for Estonia, share a border with Belarus — said in a statement that the presence of Wagner fighters posed a threat to their territorial integrity.
Our helpless Baltic security dependencies sound worried. If they did not want to be locked into a game of nuclear chicken with Russia, then they should have never gotten in bed with the devil by joining NATO in the first place.
