Poland fears the worst: introduction of better military border security

The Polish government plans to invest 10 billion zloty (about 2.5 billion Dollar) in strengthening border security with Russia and Belarus.

This was announced by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a ceremony in Krakow to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Monte Cassino, which took place during World War II.

"We have decided to invest in our security and especially in the security of our eastern border by investing 10 billion zlotys," Mr. Tusk said.

"We are launching a major project to build a secure border, including a system of fortifications, as well as landscaping and environmental measures that will make this border impenetrable to potential enemies," he added.

Donald Tusk did not specify what kind of fortifications will be built, but did say they will be part of an "iron dome" type defense system.

He added that the experience of Ukraine and Israel shows that a country cannot guarantee the security of its airspace alone.

"Based on the experience of Israel and Ukraine, we recognize that no country can support the effort to create a safety dome, safe airspace and reliable air defense over Poland, the region and the entire continent," he stressed.
