Poland to spend around $2.5 bln on securing eastern border
WARSAW - Poland will invest 10 billion zlotys in a programme to secure its eastern border, the prime minister said on Saturday, in a bid to bolster its defences against what it says is a rising threat from Russia and Belarus.
Since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, relations have become even tenser, with Warsaw ramping up defence spending and accusing Minsk and Moscow of attempts to destabilise Poland. "We are starting a major project to build a secure border, including a system of fortifications as well as landscaping and environmental decisions that will make this border impossible to pass for a potential enemy."The previous government built a fence on the Polish-Belarusian border that was over 180 km long and 5.5 metres high, to protect against illegal migration. It is complemented by a system of cameras and sensors monitoring the frontier.
Critics dubbed the bill the Russian law and say it copies legislation Russia wields to target critics of President Vladimir Putin.
