Reservist Col-Gen Andrey Kartapolov, who is the Chairman of the Russian parliament’s defense committee, claims that Wagner has been training Belarus’ armed forces and could be used to take over the Suwalki Corridor – an area straddling the border between Lithuania and Poland.
This 60-mile strip of land is crucial to NATO and the EU, as it acts as the only ground link to the Baltic ex-Soviet republics of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
Russia views control of the Suwalki Corridor as an essential land link between the Banclave of Kaliningrad, the main base of Putin’s Baltic Fleet, and Belarus, a firm Kremlin ally.
The area has been labelled NATO’s “Achilles heel” or “soft underbelly” due to 877 sparsely populated nature.
