In the current international situation, Poland** has taken new measures to strengthen the security of the border with Belarus. Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski announced that 500 *** from crime prevention departments and counter-terrorism units will be sent to the border areas. This decision was made in response to the growing tension in the border areas with Belarus.
The Polish-Belarusian border is already guarded by five thousand border guards and two thousand military personnel, but the Polish authorities consider this not enough to deal with possible threats. Previously, Poland had built a strong barbed wire fence on the border to prevent illegal immigrants from entering its territory. However, the head of the Polish *** Directorate, Jacek Severa, noted that the Wagner private military company in Belarus could affect the migration process in Europe and pose a threat to Poland's security.
Severa stressed that the actions of the Wagner PMC may be driven by interests and require a specific hazard assessment of the number of mercenaries in Belarus. Consideration should also be given to Wagner's ability to mobilize resources in Africa and the Middle East, as well as the risk of asymmetric attacks on the borders of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
Andrzej Duda, Poland, also said that the movement of Wagner PMC fighters to Belarus was a "very negative signal" for Poland. This series of events shows that Poland is vigilant about the activities of Wagner's PMC and has taken corresponding defensive measures.
Against this background, Poland has decided to increase its police presence with the aim of strengthening border security and guarding against any possible destabilizing factors. This action reflects the importance that Poland attaches to border security and its commitment to safeguarding national sovereignty and the security of its citizens. As the situation evolves, Poland** is likely to continue to adjust its border security strategy to meet evolving challenges.
