Vitaliy Portnikov voiced unexpected scenarios.
Due to the provocations of the Lukashenka regime, Poland is already gathering troops and creating new formations along the border.
Where will the Wagner mercenaries go and what aggravations of the situation can we expect?
Well-known Ukrainian publicist Vitaliy Portnikov answered these and other questions in an interview with the Studio X97 show of the Charter97.org website.

— It is clear, we do not say that Wagner will capture Poland. Imagine a different situation. They broke into the territory, killed a certain number of people, set fire to something there, destroyed it and left. Russia does not bear any responsibility and no one will do anything to it for this. No one considers it a party to the conflict. Then it is possible to gather not 10 thousand, but 25 thousand “Wagnerites”. Then they can go to take Vilnius.
Putin pushes the limits of the possible every time. It is very important for him now to create a paramilitary formation that can operate on the territory of NATO countries so that Russia is not responsible for this. He's already set up the whole scene. It's just brilliant theatrical preparation. Now the most important thing — will the gun that he has already hung on the stage fire? How many people will die not in Ukraine, but in Poland or Lithuania, or both in Poland and Lithuania?
I say it again, I'm not telling you that tomorrow a “Wagnerite” with a bayonet will come to your house in Warsaw. No. It won't reach you, I assure you. You can sleep peacefully, you will not meet with Prigozhin, but that is not the point. The fact is, if it turns out that such mechanisms work, then they will begin to work in full force.
I want to remind you that in the Crimea and Donbas in 2014 it was exactly the same. There, Strelkov simply played the role of Prigozhin. There were also some “saboteurs”, “volunteers”, Russia supposedly had nothing to do with this. The West swallowed it.
You remember how long they talked about “separatists”. Do you remember that they always called the occupiers of Donbas “separatists”? I kept saying why do you call them separatists? There was no separatist movement in the Crimea or Donbas. These are just ordinary Russian occupiers and collaborators.
The French, who served the German regime in Paris, relatively speaking, were not separatists. They were collaborators. They didn't want France to join Germany until the Germans got there.
