Having recently called Wagner troops "serial killers", Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda calls for strengthened security on the Belarusian border. "As I understand, the plan of Lukashenko is to build the necessary infrastructure for 6,000 Wagner fighters.
And then the most important question is what’s next?" Nausėda adds: "Nobody knows if it's possible to integrate those fighters again into the regular army of the Russian Federation because of the gap in salaries.
So they might be used in Africa, they might be used to strengthen the Belarusian army." In a worst-case scenario, Nausėda believes Wagner troops "can turn against us".
That's why he says Lithuania has "a special plan, a cooperation between our armed forces and security border officials. We also will spend much more capacity collecting intelligence data on the border.
