Nervous Poland will send more troops to the border with Belarus
Poland will send additional troops to its border with Belarus as the situation there remains tense, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said on Aug. 8, according to Wprost.
"Due to the dynamic situation on the Polish-Belarusian border, and at the request of the Commander of the Border Guard to increase involvement in border protection, more troops will be transferred to the border," the minister said in a statement.
Up to 2,000 Polish military personnel are currently stationed along the Polish-Belarusian border.
Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus are currently engineering another migrant influx into the EU through the Polish border, Deputy Interior Minister Maciej Wąsik said on Aug. 6.
Wagner Group mercenaries have also moved to Belarus following the unsuccessful coup by their leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, which also raises tension between the two countries.
Belarus’ self-proclaimed president Alexander Lukashenko complained that Wagnerites were causing him stress due to their determination to attack Poland. He later claimed he was joking.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
