Lithuania's president has called for NATO's eastern flank to be strengthened after private military company Wagner's brief armed revolt against Moscow, an act that threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin's more than two-decade grip on power.
President Gitanas Nauseda drew attention to the Belarus-brokered deal to defuse the crisis, which will see Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin go into exile in Belarus.
Belarus shares a border with NATO member Lithuania. Lithuania also borders the Russian Baltic Sea enclave of Kaliningrad. Nauseda warned that the presence of Prigozhin in Belarus and the unrest in Russia have put the region in a dangerous situation, foreign media write.
" I am talking here not only about Lithuania, but about NATO as a whole. We are dealing with a large state, a nuclear state, and any internal turmoil inevitably has consequences for the security of the surrounding states," Nauseda said . , according to Lithuanian radio, referring to Russia.
He said he had no information yet to confirm whether Wagner's boss was already in Belarus, a country that is closely allied with Russia.
