Poland and Lithuania say they're bracing for provocations from Moscow and Minsk. The NATO nations are ramping up border security, following the arrival of thousands of Wagner mercenaries in neighbouring Belarus, after an aborted mutiny in Russia in June. Last week, two Belarusian helicopters flew briefly into Polish airspace, in what was viewed as a provocation. FRANCE 24's Magdalena Chodownik, Gulliver Cragg and Elena Volochine sent this report.
