Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced plans to build fortifications along Poland's eastern border with Belarus, aiming to strengthen security. This decision comes in response to an increased number of attempts by migrants to illegally cross into the European Union. Tusk, during a visit to the border, revealed that Poland has already started placing new anti-tank obstacles. He also accused Belarus of intensifying a 'hybrid war' against the West by encouraging these crossings and vowed to spare no expense in fortifying the border.
