“Maybe I shouldn’t have said it, but I will say that Wagner group members began to ‘bother’ us. They ask permission to go westward: ‘Let us do it!’ I ask them: ‘Why do you need to go there?’ Well, on the quiet ... We control what’s happening. ‘Well, we’ll go on an excursion to Warsaw and Rzeszow’,” the Belarusian Head of State said.

“They are angry over Rzeszow. When they were fighting near Artemovsk, they knew where the military equipment came from. They have this grudge inside: Rzeszow is a disaster. Of course, I keep them in the centre of Belarus, as agreed. I wouldn’t want to relocate them there, because they are very angry. And, we should give credit to them, they know what’s happening around the Union State,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
