Polish troops are building fortifications along the border with Ukraine and establishing surveillance and security posts near border crossings, Poland’s General Command of the Armed Forces announced on Sept. 15.

Soldiers from the 4th and 18th Engineer Regiments are taking part in the work. They are constructing border fortifications using Hesco Bastions and providing engineering support to the Nadbużański Border Guard Unit.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously said he planned to reorganize traffic at the border with Ukraine to prevent vehicle buildups that could become targets for Russian attacks.

On Sept. 13, Russian forces attacked the locomotive of a passenger train with a drone in Volyn Oblast, about 2 kilometers from the Polish border. No one was injured, according to Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine’s state railway operator.

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.
