Lithuania is "extremely concerned" about developments in its neighbour Belarus and the presence of Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Baltic country's president said Thursday.
"We are extremely concerned about the developments in Belarus. Prigozhin is already there... I cannot say 100 percent but it is very likely that he is already there," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said before an EU leaders' summit in Brussels.
The leader of the Baltic country, which neighbours both Belarus and Russia and will host next month's NATO summit, repeated his call for a strengthened eastern flank.
"The fighter groups or these serial killers (as) I call them... they could emerge in Belarus at any moment and nobody knows when they could turn against us," he added.
