Behind the Russian-Ukrainian conflict: the turmoil between the Wagner Group and Lithuania
In the complex international situation, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has always become the focus of everyone's attention. But on the recent stage, it seems that an unexpected "new actor" has appeared - the Wagner Group. You may not fully understand the name, but its latest moves have made the political atmosphere across Europe more tense.
The new situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
Since the beginning of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the fire of war has never really been extinguished. Every spark can cause a bigger fire. Recently, as the conflict situation continues to develop, many people have begun to worry about whether the fire will spread to other neighboring countries.
The recent news shocked everyone that the Wagner Group seemed to have a plan of action for Lithuania. What is even more surprising is that not long ago, there was news that the Wagner Group had a disagreement with Moscow, Russia.
Although the Wagner Group is a rookie on the international stage, its influence cannot be ignored. As Russia's official mercenary corps, it plays a vital role in both large military operations and small-scale wars.
Background of Russian-Lithuanian relations
Russia, a big country that has always been antagonistic with NATO countries, and its neighboring small countries, such as Ukraine, have almost never stopped in conflict with other small countries such as Ukraine, whether for historical reasons or practical contradictions.
In the face of conflicts and frictions with small countries, the Wagner Group undoubtedly offers Russia a perfect solution. Not only are they quick to respond, but they are also able to do things that the official army cannot.
Lithuania, a country located on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, although not large, occupies an important position in NATO's strategic layout and has become a key point in the blockade of Russia.
Lithuania's response and the response of the international community
The movements of the Wagner Group plunged Lithuania into an unprecedented crisis. In this regard, the international community has expressed concern, especially the countries neighbouring Lithuania, which are even more worried.
In the face of doubts and accusations from the international community, the Wagner Group responded decisively, fully denying that they had any plans to invade Lithuania. But whether this means that the situation in Europe will move towards peace is unknown.
In general, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has undoubtedly brought new political variables to Europe and even the world. The involvement of the Wagner Group has undoubtedly injected new variables into this complex political game. In any case, however, we hope that the conflict will be resolved peacefully and that innocent people will not be harmed again.
