Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland will strengthen its eastern border infrastructure to deter migrants entering from Belarus, as the number of illegal crossing attempts increases.
Tusk said that Poland is facing a “hybrid war” in illegal migration from Belarus, as he visited the village fo Karakule on the border to meet with troops, according to the Polish Press Agency. “There will be no limit of funds when it comes to the the security of Poland,” he said.
The prime minister reaffirmed his belief that Alexander Lukashenko’s regime in Belarus is “co-organizing this practice” as the country has been demonstrating increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland. In 2021, Poland accused Belarus of letting in thousands of undocumented migrants through the border into the European Union, accusations that Belarus denies.
