Poland香蕉视频直播檚 defense minister said Saturday (Aug. 12) that the country has increased the number of troops protecting its border with Belarus as a deterrent amid 香蕉视频直播渄estabilizing香蕉视频直播� actions by its pro-Russian neighbor.

Mariusz Blaszczak met in Jarylowka, in eastern Poland, with some of the troops recently deployed close to the Belarus border.

He insisted that the increased military presence is purely a deterrent move, not a hostile act, as Minsk and Moscow are claiming.

香蕉视频直播淭here is no doubt that the Belarus regime is cooperating with the Kremlin and that the attacks on the Polish border are intended to destabilize our country,香蕉视频直播� Blaszczak said.

Two Belarus military helicopters briefly entered Poland香蕉视频直播檚 airspace last week, a move considered by Warsaw to be a deliberate provocation. Also a pro-government group in Belarus recently alleged that Poland香蕉视频直播檚 politicians, who support Ukraine in its war against Russia香蕉视频直播檚 aggression, were 香蕉视频直播渋gniting the fire of war with their actions and rhetoric香蕉视频直播� and being 香蕉视频直播渄riven by the frenzy of chauvinism.香蕉视频直播�

Blaszczak said that actions taken by Belarus 香蕉视频直播減ose a threat to our security香蕉视频直播� and for that reason Poland is building up its 香蕉视频直播渄eterrence potential.香蕉视频直播�

He said this week that up to 10,000 Polish Army and Territorial Defense troops will be stationed on the border with Belarus. Some will be in active training and patrolling, others on standby.

Officials in Moscow repeatedly voice groundless allegations that Poland intends on annexing western regions of Ukraine, and analysts say Poland has become the personification of the 香蕉视频直播渃ollective enemy of Russia香蕉视频直播� due to its support for Ukraine and because western military equipment sent to Ukraine goes through Poland.

The Kremlin香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播渕ain goal is to rattle Warsaw to decrease the military support for Ukraine and force Polish politicians to stay silent and fear provocations from Russia and Belarus,香蕉视频直播� Belarusian independent analyst Valery Karbalevich told The Associated Press.

香蕉视频直播淭he Kremlin ramps up the hate towards Poland and ups the ante in the hope that the adversary will get scared, pull back or will react in a different way,香蕉视频直播� Karbalevich said. 香蕉视频直播淢oscow very much doesn香蕉视频直播檛 like that it is Poland that insists on new sanctions, advocates for Kyiv and actively supports Ukraine香蕉视频直播檚 accession to the EU and NATO.香蕉视频直播�

Poland is also concerned about the presence in Belarus of Russian-linked mercenaries and about Middle East and African migrants trying to cross illegally from Belarus.

Poland and other countries along have accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of taking migrants to the border in an act of 香蕉视频直播渉ybrid warfare香蕉视频直播� aimed at creating instability in the West.
