Former Prigozhin lawyer Igor Eliseev (also Jelisiejew) claims that Yevgeny Prigozhin discussed a potential operation to seize the Suwalki corridor to establish a land bridge to Kaliningrad in 2023, following the Wagner mutiny. This claim is uncorroborated and based solely on Eliseev's statements, resulting in low confidence regarding its veracity and the feasibility of such a plan. If true, it would indicate consideration of direct military action against NATO territory by Russian irregular forces.
