Poland will build fortifications on eastern border, PM Tusk says

Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonWARSAW - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Saturday that Poland is starting work on further strengthening the entire eastern border, as the country faces what he called a growing"hybrid war" in illegal migration from Belarus.

"I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border." The attempts to cross the border have continued since then, with numbers fluctuating depending on the weather. The Polish border guard says there are currently about 300 attempts to cross illegally a day.

The previous government built a fence on the Polish-Belarusian border that was over 180 km long and 5.5 meters high, to protect against illegal migration. It is complemented by a system of cameras and sensors monitoring the frontier.
