Now the Russian private military company "Wagner" in Belarus does not pose a direct threat. Janis Sarts, director of the NATO Center of Excellence in Strategic Communications (Stratcom), spoke about this on TV3, Radio Liberty reports.
He noted that now PMC "Wagner" in Belarus has too few forces to directly create a military threat, and its weapons "are not suitable for such military purposes."
At the same time, according to Sarts, "provocations involving mercenaries on the border cannot be ruled out." He drew attention to the fact that some of the Wagnerians are "former special forces who have been trained to carry out sabotage."
In addition, the director of Stratcom noted that one of the reasons why the "Wagnerites" will not resort to some kind of active action is that the group, which is located in Belarus, is "poorly funded", and the mercenaries "are not doing anything, until they get paid."
In addition, according to Sarts, “it does not seem that anyone is ready to finance sabotage,” so “the level of threat from PMC Wagner has decreased.”
