Short Summary: EU grants Poland €52 million to defend border against deliberate migration flows orchestrated by Russia and Belarus.

Evidence

Quotes

This European Commission has announced that it will provide Poland with €52 million to reinforce infrastructure, vehicles, IT tools and radio systems as part of a strategy to shield Poland from Russia’s and Belarus’s ‘weaponisation of migration’.

Several senior EU officials have recently described Belarus’s deliberate channeling of migrants to the Polish border as a ‘weaponisation of migration’ carried out in cooperation with Russia.

There have been intense claims that the Polish government has widely constructed anti-migrant barriers and is generally seeking to strengthen border operations in the east of the country.
