Summary

Headline: Poland to Build Fortifications on Eastern Border by 2028

Short Summary: Poland will build fortifications along its entire border with Kaliningrad and Belarus by 2028 to deter and defend against hybrid threats from Russia and Belarus.

Description

Poland has announced plans to construct defensive fortifications along its entire eastern border with Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and Belarus, with completion targeted for 2028. The move is a response to increased security concerns regarding Russian and Belarusian activities near NATO's eastern flank and aims to prepare against possible future incursions or hybrid threats.

Evidence

Quotes

Poland announced plans to build fortifications on its border with Russia’s Kaliningrad oblast and Belarus, with construction of the 'Eastern Shield' defensive line to be completed by 2028.

Poland’s determination to safeguard its sovereign territory against Russia will hopefully both boost the Eastern Ukraine’s resilience and reinforce to other European partners the importance of continuing to support Ukraine against Russia.

Poland plans to begin building fortifications on its eastern border next year. On October 4, a Polish Border Guard spokesman, Michał Tokarczyk, said publicly that work is at the first organizational and preparatory stage.

The new fortifications will cost an estimated 10 billion zloty ($2.25 billion).
