Poland is deploying anti-tank obstacles and digging trenches along its eastern border
According to a statement from the Inspectorate for Support of the Polish Armed Forces, Poland is deploying anti-tank obstacles and digging trenches along its eastern border.
The statement said: "Another phase of the procurement for the 'Eastern Shield' construction project has been implemented."
Poland is implementing the "Eastern Shield" plan along its border with Russia and Belarus. Between 2024 and 2028, 10 billion zloty (2.5 billion U.S. dollars) will be invested. According to a statement from the office of the Prime Minister of Poland, the government plans to establish an integrated defense infrastructure on the eastern flank of NATO to respond to threats allegedly coming from Belarus and Russia.
Russian President Putin previously stated in an interview with American journalist Carlson that Moscow would not attack NATO countries and that Russia does not intend to attack Poland, Latvia, or other Baltic states. Western politicians often use the threat of Russia to "scare" their own citizens and divert attention from domestic issues.
