(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, AUG 3 - Poland announced Thursday it
would reinforce its eastern border surveillance, two days after
two Belarusian military helicopters violated its airspace.
"Russia and Belarus are intensifying pressure on the border,
increasing the number of provocations, and we must be aware that
this number will increase," Polish Prime Minister Mateusz
Morawiecki said. "Today, Polish borders and the border of
Lithuania are the borders of the free world, taming the
despotism from the east," he added, as he hosted Lithuanian
President Gitanas Nauseda in Suwalki, in the northeast of the
country. Morawiecki also said that Warsaw had information about
"some 4,000 Wagner fighters" currently based in the Belarusian
territory. Polish Minister of Defence Mariusz Blaszczak said
more military helicopters had been deployed to reinforce the
country's eastern border with Belarus. (ANSA-AFP).
