NATO will defend members from threat of Wagner forces in Belarus - En attendant Godot

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said the Western military alliance is ready to defend itself against any threat posed by the move of Russia’s Wagner mercenary force to Belarus amid fears the relocation of the private army could create instability for NATO’s Eastern European members.

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was reported to have arrived in Belarus on Tuesday under a deal negotiated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, which narrowly prevented the mercenaries from marching on Moscow on Saturday after the private army mutinied against Russia’s military leaders.

  1. NATO will monitor the movement of the Wagner Group paramilitary organization in Belarus to maintain the security of the member states of the alliance, NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday.

    "I just believe it's too early to make a final judgment about the consequences of the fact that (Wagner Group head Yevgeny) Prigozhin has moved to Belarus and that, most likely, also some of his forces will also be located in Belarus. It's too early to say. But we will monitor, and we will ensure that we always are ready to protect and defend every NATO ally, especially those allies which are now, which are border countries to Belarus," Stoltenberg said
