Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak upped the ante on Thursday on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Warsaw is deploying 10,000 hardened troops to “reinforce” its border with Belarus. This comes on top of 1,000 Polish troops from the 12th and 17th Mechanized Brigades that were ordered by Blaszczak to the frontier in early July after Moscow announced remnants of the Wagner Group would be relocating to Belarus following Yevgeny Prigozhin’s failed mutiny.
