In the wake of the uprising by Wagner Group forces in Russia, the US and Europe have turned their gaze to an increasingly unpredictable Belarus
But so far, US and European officials have not seen clear signs that either scenario is unfolding.

But even without any major announcement from Russia next week, the alliance is already on edge about Wagner potentially expanding to Belarus: Poland is demanding additional funding from the European Union to bolster its border security amid fears that Wagner will reconstitute in neighboring Belarus. Latvia’s prime minister said Wagner could attempt to infiltrate Europe from a new perch in Belarus.
