Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced fortifications along the border with Belarus after a soldier was seriously wounded in a knife attack by a migrant.
Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday that its forces would further fortify the border with Belarus and can use 'all available means' to defend the NATO nation’s frontier, after a soldier was seriously wounded with a knife by a migrant.
Tusk, together with the defense and interior ministers, visited troops, border guards and police forces securing the border following a knife attack on a soldier early Tuesday near the village of Dubicze Cerkiewne. Officials said the soldier remains hospitalized in serious condition. Officials said a migrant reached across the bars of the more than 16-foot high metal wall separating Poland and Belarus and stabbed the soldier in the ribs.
Tusk and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that additional police and military forces will be sent to the area. The pro-EU government says the pressure and aggression of illegal migration is rising, organized by Russia and Belarus to destabilize Europe as Moscow wages war on Ukraine. Poland's authorities say migrants groups now mainly include young men, compared to families with women and children previously.
