Russia is threatening to use its Wagner mercenary army to invade NATO’s ‘weakest link’ – a key strategic strip of land straddling the border between Poland and Lithuania, one of Putin’s cronies has revealed.
A top Putin parliamentarian revealed on Russian state television that mercenary forces were ready to march on the sought-after territory ‘in a matter of hours’, in a move that could trigger World War Three.
The 60-mile Suwalki Corridor – or Gap – that spans from north west Belarus to the southeastern border of Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad has massive strategic importance for NATO and the EU – as well as Moscow.
For the West, it is the only land link to the three ex-Soviet Baltic republics – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – which are seen as vulnerable to Putin if the current east-west tension worsens.
For Russia, control of the corridor would give a land link Kaliningrad, the main base of Putin’s Baltic Fleet, and firm Kremlin ally Belarus.

Let’s not forget—surely at the behest of neocon/ NATO—that over one year ago Lithuania Bans Transit Of Sanctioned Russian Goods To Kaliningrad. Neocon/ NATO anti-Russian provocations have been constant before and during this entire war. They goad Russia which is all but forced to act and then pretend they did nothing. ABN
