Wagner Group will become even more dangerous after Prigozhin's death – Polish PM
Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of Poland, is afraid that after the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the mercenaries of the Wagner Private Military Company (PMC) will be controlled directly by the Kremlin, which will make them even more dangerous.

Details: "I will not comment on whether it was a coincidence or not," Morawiecki said, referring to the plane crash in which Prigozhin reportedly died.
"I think the Poles are capable of answering this themselves. The supervision of the Wagner Group goes directly to President Putin. Let everyone now answer whether the Wagner Group, which is stationed in Belarus, is a greater or lesser threat," Morawiecki added.
Morawiecki also stated that, of course, Wagner Group will be used even more for provocations, blackmail, attacks and "all kinds of movements to undermine security policy" under Putin's supervision.
Background:
- The EU cannot verify the information about the plane crash of the Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin in the Russian Federation, and they do not want to speculate about the consequences of this event.
- On the evening of 23 August, a small plane crashed in Russia’s Tver Oblast, and the Russians claimed that Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group, was on board. It is reported that all 10 people on board died, including Prigozhin's deputy, Dmitry "Wagner" Utkin.
- Paris said that they are not rushing to conclude the circumstances of the plane crash, and the head of the German Foreign Ministry also urged not to jump to conclusions and to make sure that the Wagner leader really died.
