The Prime Minister of Poland called the line of defense on the Russian and Belarusian borders “an investment in peace”

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, during a visit to the border with Russia’s Kaliningrad region, called the construction of military fortifications an “investment in peace.”

“Everything we do here is aimed at deterring and deterring any potential aggressor, so it’s really an investment in peace,” Tusk said on November 30.

“We will spend billions of zlotys on this – but now all of Europe is watching it with great pleasure and will support these investments and our actions if necessary,” he added.

In March, Warsaw announced an increase in the presence of troops in the east of the country in the border areas with Belarus and Russia, as well as Lithuania and Ukraine.

On May 18, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland would invest 10 billion zlotys in security, primarily in the security of the eastern border.

The project called “Eastern Shield” is supposed to protect 800 kilometers along the borders of NATO countries with Russia and Belarus.
