The Polish-Belarusian border has been maintained, the plan outlined in the Kremlin has failed – it is thanks to the service of Polish soldiers, the border guard and other services – said Deputy Prime Minister, Head of the Ministry of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak during the Easter meeting with soldiers and officers at the border with Belarus.
On the occasion of the upcoming Easter holiday, Minister Błaszczak met with soldiers and officers from the Border Guard and other services stationed there in the Augustów Forest in the village of Gruszki, near the border with Belarus.
Today we know very well that safety is the highest value. We all observe what is happening beyond our eastern border – we see how the Kremlin, the rulers of the Kremlin, decided to rebuild the Russian Empire and attack other countries, of which the attack on Ukraine is an excellent example. We also see Poland being attacked in a hybrid way since 2021. It is so attacked that it must be defended here, at the border – the attack came from the territory of Belarus
he said during the speech.
The head of the Ministry of National Defense added that “the attack was carried out with the help of migrants invited to Belarus by Alyaksandr Lukashenko’s regime and then thrown to the border so that they would illegally try to cross the border with Poland to cross.”
The border was maintained thanks to the service of officers of the Border Guard, soldiers of the Polish army, thanks to the cooperation of the services
– he emphasized, thanking them for their service and wishing them Easter.
Hybrid attacks from the east
The hybrid attack from the Belarusian side was intended to destabilize our homeland, it was a prelude to the Russian attack on Ukraine. The border was held, the plan drawn up in the Kremlin failed; failed because Polish soldiers and officers rose to the occasion
Blaszczak noticed.
I know for you who serve here on the border it will be Christmas far from home – but thank you so much for this, for this sacrifice; the Polish state appreciates it
Błaszczak turned to the soldiers and officers.
The politician also drew attention to the modernization program for uniformed services, the next edition of which for the years 2022-2025 has been determined by the cabinet in November 2021.
And in the case of the Polish army – it is extremely important to deter the aggressor by building its strength and interoperability with the forces of the North Atlantic Alliance – and it happens. We show that Poland is a country not worth attacking
– declared the head of the Ministry of National Defense.
