4:57Now PlayingAs Wagner troops relocate to Belarus, NATO allies have expressed concerns about a small strip of land known as the Suwalki Gap on the Poland-Lithuanian border. Belarus has served as a base for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and gaining access to this land in Eastern Europe would link Kaliningrad with Moscow’s ally. But NATO’s additions of Finland and Sweden means that Kaliningrad is effectively encircled by NATO.
WSJ explains why this corridor has been described as a ‘weak spot’ and how it could be vulnerable to Russia.
